QuestionView source ↗

As part of Labor’s election policy plan for ‘Making our Community Safer’, it was stated ‘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 ‘research and produce clear information for the general public as to how best to defend their homes, workplaces, and families. A priority will be to find solutions and strategies for those crimes that are usually directed towards older Western Australians, including home break-ins, assaults and bag-snatches;’ -
(1) Has this information been researched and produced, if so, where is this information to be found?
(2) Why has the Office Of Crime Prevention not published this on their internet site?
(3) Will they undertake to do so before the next election?
(4) What solutions and strategies have been identified so far?
