Intervention, rehabilitation, and initiatives
Making Queensland Safer delivers early intervention and rehabilitation programs to support young people.
Stronger consequences for young offenders and a commitment to break the cycle of violence are backed by initiatives designed to create a brighter future.
This balanced approach ensures a pathway to rehabilitation while maintaining serious consequences for certain young offenders.
