Young Offenders Regulations 1995 and Director General's Rules
Delegated Legislation Joint Committee (1987 - 2001)· 6 December 1995general_report
The WA Delegated Legislation Joint Committee reviewed the Young Offenders Regulations 1995 and Director General's Rules (DGR). Concerns were raised regarding the validity of Regulation 34, the legislative effect of the DGR (specifically whether they should have been gazetted and tabled), and the adequacy of rules for special detention centres. The Attorney General maintained the DGR did not have legislative effect.
Impact
Young offenders, the Ministry of Justice (Juvenile Justice Division), legal professionals, and potentially the broader community are affected by the regulations and rules governing juvenile detention and justice processes.
