TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House the increasing juvenile crime rate throughout Queensland and the need for implementation of programmes for first or second time offences for juvenile criminal offenders.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to review and amend legislation to ensure perpetrators of serious crime and those who are recidivist offenders receive more severe penalties than are currently being handed down. We request a stronger response to juvenile crime including mandatory detention for those found guilty of the same offence three times.
