View All IdeasDo you have ideas to reduce youth offending and re-offending?
H Wiles
- Youth criminals shouldn't be slapped in the face by harsh penalties but, be rehabilitated and consoled by counselors.
Cpower
- Don't punish kids for stealing essential things like food, especially when so many low socioeconomic families are unable to source food.
manuelavziegler
- Many of the offending youth do not see facing court, rehab, etc as deterrents to offending. Harsher penalties need to be implemented for re offenders.
Just a mum
- Some kids are energetic and need to live on the edge but don't have the ability or means to do this. We needs programs in place to give them this.
Frances

- Young offenders should enter a rehabilitation program with support workers, counsellors and education that engages and empathises with the offender.

scotra
- Better access to flexible schooling, better connection to culture, and activities to give them a sense of hope
Ben Ashley
- youth group is a fantastic idea but it needs to be on more days a week not just Friday during school terms it needs to be all year and on more days :)
Frances
- working directly with the youth will help instead, more hands on action will create a better relationship with the justice sytem
utakia
- We need to be more open as a society to alternative routes to success; not everyone is good at traditional schooling, or can even afford it.

Leannah

Frances

utakia

What will we do with your ideas?
The Department of Child Safety, Youth and Women wants to hear your ideas and opinions on the work we are doing in Youth Justice. When you take the survey or add your ideas and comments here, your answers will contribute to the broad consultation we are doing across Queensland and help us develop a youth justice strategy.

Background to Youth Justice consultation.
The Atkinson Report on Youth Justice canvassed a range of issues to do with youth offending. It made several recommendations across four objectives or pillars, and some recommendations about policy and legislation. The questions we are asking here are based around the four pillars and related recommendations in that report.
