I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me
by the Minister for Police.
Operation
Regional Shield is just one feature of the state government's response
to juvenile crime in regional communities. The challenges involving juvenile
justice are complex and easy answers do not exist, but we are getting on with
addressing these issues. The state government is playing its part, but this is
not all a government responsibility. We need the community and parents
to step up.
