"Western suburbs teenagers who commit minor offences will undergo a rope-climbing course with police instead of being convicted, in a bid to prevent their return to crime.
First-time offenders aged from 13 to 17 from the western suburbs will join the program - which has dramatically reduced rates of re-offending in Melbourne's south-east since 2003 - from April."
