About the Auditor-General Report
View: Auditor-General Report 15: 2023-24 Reducing serious youth crime
The Auditor-General examined the effectiveness of Queensland’s youth justice strategies and programs to reduce crime by serious repeat offenders and to improve community safety.
The Auditor-General concluded that while the government has acted to address the complex issue of youth crime in Queensland, more needs to be done to reduce crime committed by serious repeat offenders.
The Auditor-General made 12 recommendations for the Department of Premier and Cabinet, the Department of Youth Justice and the Queensland Police Service in respect of serious youth crime, including:
- ensuring more effective coordination, integration and delivery of youth justice-related initiatives
- strengthening leadership and governance of the youth justice system
- strengthening investment and procurement practices for youth justice services
- agreeing on an approach to identify young offenders with the highest risk of reoffending and sharing this information with relevant stakeholders
- supporting young offenders transitioning from detention into the community.
