Multiple reviews are being conducted into an undercover counter-terror operation which targeted an autistic boy's fixation with Islamic State.

The AFP and Victoria Police launched a joint operation after the parents of the boy, who was 13 and had an IQ of 71, went to them for help. Criminologist Dr Clarke Jones says that while he wouldn't say the issue was systemic, it's "not a one-off" and is "deeply disturbing."

Guest:Dr Clarke Jones, criminologist and visiting fellow at the ANU
