Stopping the revolving door for youth offenders in the justice system.
Breaking the Youth Crime Cycle
Stopping the revolving door for youth offenders in the justice system.
What we are proposing...
We will establish a $40 million Breaking the Cycle Fund to deliver targeted support and rehabilitation, stopping high-risk youth from reoffending before it’s too late.
Youth crime is skyrocketing with a 30% increase in matters before the Youth Court and a 50% increase in breaches of bail. Crimes like shoplifting and assaults on police have skyrocketed under Labor.
We’ll back proven gold standard early intervention and rehabilitation organisations that know how to turn lives around.
This plan means fewer repeat offenders, through real rehabilitation and early intervention that works, giving at-risk youth a genuine chance to change direction and contribute to society.
It’s time to stop the cycle of crime and start building safer communities for every South Australian.
This is part of our plan for safer suburbs and stronger communities.
