CRIME AND ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR — SHIRE OF CARNARVON
854. Ms M. BEARD to the Attorney General:
I refer to the Attorney General's recent response to
concerns raised by the Shire of Carnarvon about youth crime, antisocial
behaviour and serious issues around accountability, consequences and respect
within the community.

being considered and how might they provide greater protection for the
community?

(1)–(2)
If we are going to have a reduction in youth crime in Carnarvon, it has got to
be through the reduction of the pervasive alcohol distribution in that town. As
far as youth crime goes, this government will be making a very important
announcement as to what we will do to divert more children away from detention
to change their lives earlier and deal with the social problems that exist in
the member's town.
