QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Labor Party Policy document as part of Labor’s plan for ‘Making our Community Safer’, Labor will - establish an Office of Crime Prevention that is directly responsible to the Premier. Its main objective will be to develop the crime prevention strategy for Government as a whole and to be a leading driver in putting this strategy into practice.
The Office of Crime Prevention will - produce information bulletins about Western Australia’s crime statistics, analysis of crime, regional differences and any changing patterns in the State’s crime rate -
(1) Since March 2001 how many information bulletins have been produced and on what dates?
(2) Where are these bulletins on crime statistics to be found?
(3) Why are they not available on the Office of Crime prevention website?
(4) Why does the Office of Crime Prevention website with regard to such information, only refer UK Home Office and Victorian websites (with in some cases incorrect hyperlinks)?
(5) Since March 2001 to date what analyses of crime have been undertaken?
(6) What has the Office of Crime Prevention done to determine the regional differences and when was this work carried out?
(7) Does the Office of Crime Prevention have any documentation of its own on the changing patterns in the State’s crime rate?
(8) If so, in what year was the research undertaken?
(9) Will you table a copy of this documentation and identify from which studies, reports or analyses this documentation was derived?
