And that uh starts to turn around because of a combination of the relationships the subjects form with each other, but also

the interactions they have with the therapists, the psychologists.

let's just go back to what has m motivated you, your years of representing young people in the courts.
voice-verified
What are some of those stories and some of those experiences that you've witnessed that motivated you to write this book?
voice-verified
And how has that experience affected you emotionally, witnessing these terribly tragic stories often?
voice-verified
And also I guess then dipping back into that in writing the book.
voice-verified
How has it affected you?
voice-verified
And so two factors really come out for you.

You're saying that these children are and young people are overcriminalized and they're over medicated.

I'm Lynn Malcolm, and I'm speaking with criminal lawyer and novelist Sarah Hopkins.
voice-verified
Her recent book called The Subjects draws on her work as a lawyer at the Aboriginal Legal Service of New South Wales.
voice-verified
She sees that young people often get caught up in the legal system and are quickly over-criminalized, making it very difficult to reset a more positive path for their future lives.
voice-verified
At the same time, many young people, by the time they come to the courts, have been diagnosed with some form of mental illness and are medicated to help control difficult behaviour.
voice-verified
Sarah Hopkins says this medicalisation can be a double-edged sword.
voice-verified
Yeah, so as you say a diagnosis can be a helpful tool in in the legal system.
voice-verified
It also can be a helpful tool in helping people and treating people.
voice-verified
What do you do about that fine line between a diagnosis being helpful for the person and not?
voice-verified
As a result of her years of work as a criminal lawyer representing young people in the legal system, Sarah Hopkins has put a lot of thought into how things need to change.
