Reducing child and youth offences
In 2024, the Government set a target to reduce child and youth people offending. This includes a 15% reduction of serious and persistent offending by 2030.
In April 2024, the Prime Minister announced 9 government targets to improve lives and achieve better results in the public sector. To support these, delivery plans are in place. They identify key tasks for each and ensure a report on their progress every 3 months.
Target 3 of the 9 targets is for ‘reduced child and young offending’.
You can read about Target 3 and access quarterly reports on the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet website.
