쉐도잉 연습: How young is too young for criminal responsibility? | A Current Affair - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
Bad behaviour has consequences.
2
Now that's a simple discipline that helps parents raise good kids and of course it also sends criminals to jail.
3
But children as young as 10 are falling through the cracks, trashing property and terrorising people because they're untouchable and it may become even harder to punish them.
4
It's a destructive shopping centre rampage, the kind of damage normally inflicted by a car in a ram raid.
5
But it's an out of control child causing this chaos.
6
Bystanders and authorities cautiously go toe to toe with the boy
7
and astoundingly the 12 year old appears to have the upper hand.
8
Here he hurls a shard of glass at the woman filming the footage.
9
I was traumatised.
10
Absolutely.
11
The boy's teenage friends join in, using a trolley to smash more glass.
12
Jenny Fenwick was the frightened shopper behind the camera.
13
Dumbfounded to tell you the truth.
14
I'm like what the hell's going on here?
15
Why don't the The security guard stopped them and then I learned later that they're not allowed to touch them.
16
There needs to be consequences.
17
I definitely want better discipline for these kids.
18
I want them to be charged.
19
In our major capital cities, homes and retailers are increasingly being targeted by child vandals and thieves.
20
Oh, God.
21
That is my pot plant.
22
I put succulents in that.
23
Ooh, they're banging on the glass.
24
Organised balls are being held in shopping centre car parks
25
and brazen apparent shoplifting is being filmed by the young alleged perpetrators and uploaded to social media.
26
Are you causing problems around here?
27
Obviously.
28
Obviously?
29
What do you mean?
30
Oh, just doing this that.
31
But there could soon be even fewer consequences for delinquent children.
32
You may not know it, but there's a quiet nationwide push to raise the age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 16.
33
Under the changes, it's likely offenders younger than 16 would automatically not be prosecuted.
34
Tonight we have the debate.
35
Is it a good idea and is it in the best interest for the children involved and their victims?
36
Our laws are currently so outdated
37
that children who aren't old enough to have a Facebook account are old enough to be sent to prison.
38
One of the people we forget in all this debate, and they're always forgotten, what about the victims?
39
What about the victims?
40
Security cameras are rolling at this Western Sydney home, but these kids don't care.
41
Watch as one of the children bangs on the door to see if anyone's inside.
42
And the other two are very close to our door.
43
The security door.
44
The sensor light has gone off.
45
They come in.
46
As the family cowers in the home, the boys attempt to smash their way through the front door.
47
No luck and they're out of ideas, but intent on causing damage.
48
They turn their attention to the car in the driveway.
49
In an act of mindless vandalism, they throw a pot plant at the vehicle's windscreen, smashing it.
50
Ooh!
51
See, I just repaired that car and see what they are doing to it.
52
Then, one of the boys throws a statue at the vehicle.
53
My figurine.
54
Yeah.
55
He picks up something from the garden and hurls it at another car parked out the front
56
as his mate throws a glass bottle at the other vehicle.
57
They appear to leave, but the destruction is not over.
58
They come back.
59
Watch as the young teenager chugs from a glass bottle before using it to smash one of the car's rear windows.
60
Well, I'd say they would be 14, 15-year-olds, or maybe 16.
61
The following morning, homeowners Harry and Elizabeth inspect the damage.
62
Tonight, I'm not going to stay here.
63
We haven't done anything wrong.
64
I don't know why we are targeted.
65
The February attack was the second time their home had been vandalised.
66
The couple say they've been receiving next to no assistance from police
67
and they're now too frightened to sleep at the Blacktown property, instead choosing to stay with family in Baulkham Hills.
68
We give consequences to our children when they misbehave.
69
So these kids do things like adults, they should also reap the consequences of their bad behaviour.
70
ACA obtained all of this exclusive footage over the course of several months as part of our investigation.
71
CCTV from this property in the Melbourne suburb of Cranbourne shows a confrontation between a young masked teenager and the adult homeowner.
72
He chases the teen from the property but the boy returns with his scooter.
73
Later a teenager is filmed smashing the man's letterbox.
74
Brisbane mum Melissa Royal from Victoria Point says her family is repeatedly being targeted by a large group of delinquent children.
75
They have threatened to stab my children.
76
They have set fires in the street.
77
They've graffitied vehicles.
78
We're stuck.
79
We don't know what to do.
80
Here you can see some of the youths attempt to kick in Melissa's fence.
81
It's absolutely like they're adults.
82
You know, if I went out and kicked somebody's fence or threatened to stab them, I'd be in jail.
83
But it's not just homes.
84
Kid crooks are increasingly causing chaos at the nation's shopping centres too.
85
The cop has come there and said we wouldn't even ask a question.
86
Jenny drives all over Darwin to avoid going to Palmerston Shopping Centre where the 12-year-old boy lost control after consuming alcohol.
87
This isn't the only occurrence.
88
This is the only one that I have on tape.
89
There's a couple of shop owners that have been sleeping in their shops
90
because all the police have said to them is that they need to beef up their own security.
91
Fuck, not so tough, how are ya?
92
The 12 year old was eventually restrained and led away but was later released.
93
In Victoria Geelong shopping strips are considered youth crime hotspots.
94
Like where else are they going to hang out?
95
There's no other real fun places in Geelong.
96
Shouldn't you be at school?
97
No, I don't need to go to school.
98
You look like you're of school age.
99
I'm too smart for school.
100
Too smart for school.
101
Especially around town, like, there's places where I don't feel as safe.
102
This Geelong teenager filmed himself drinking on the streets.
103
He and a friend keep the camera rolling as they enter an office work store.
104
Gotta put the bourbon away.
105
What follows appears to be a shoplifting spree and they later upload the video to social media.
106
They don't seem to be afraid of breaking the law nowadays, they know that nothing will happen.
107
A youth crime wave at Melbourne's Fountain Gate shopping centre has triggered calls for more security.
108
Westfield worker Kessa tells ACA the constant theft at her store is driving customers away.
109
100% it's affecting our sales quite a lot.
110
The other day there was a fight here, some chick got jumped by some Sudanese people.
111
This teenager says shoppers shouldn't be frightened of the young people who congregate at the centre.
112
Some of them have calmed down a bit, some of them used to steal some cars, like do home invasions, I don't know, but they're all done with that stuff, they're growing up.
113
Ideally I want to see them punished, you know, you've done a crime, you need to get punished for it.
114
You've seen the issue, heard from the victims, but what about the consequences?
115
Right now the age of criminal responsibility in Australia is 10 years old, but the country's top lawmakers,
116
including Federal Attorney General Christian Porter, are currently considering whether that age should be raised to as old as 16.
117
Doctors are clear that when it comes to children who are under the age of 14, their brain has not developed enough to the point that they should be held criminally responsible.
118
The kids of today, with their exposure to social media, have much greater understanding of what is right
119
and wrong at a much younger age than what perhaps my generation and some that follow behind have.
120
The Human Rights Law Centre's Ruth Barson is going head to head with former Victoria Police Inspector Ivan Ray.
121
The argument that comes out all the time we hear is don't send young people to jail, you'll only make them worse.
122
Worse than what?
123
For goodness sake.
124
Recent reporting from the ABC revealed dozens of children, some as young as 10,
125
are being held in the high-security Brisbane watch house near pedophiles and drug addicts because Queensland's youth detention centres are full.
126
What we know is that right now, every year in Australia, 600 children under the age of 14 are locked up behind bars
127
and around 10,000 children are prosecuted by the police, hauled before the courts and sentenced.
128
It's only something like 1% or 1.5% or something that actually end up in jail.
129
And there are sometimes really good reasons as to why they should.
130
Ten-year-olds should be in classrooms and playgrounds.
131
They shouldn't be in prison cells.
132
The investigation into raising the age of criminal responsibility is expected to wrap up by the end of the year.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
