The last few weeks, media coverage in South Australia has focused on youth crime, and paid extra attention to a small group of young people being labelled serious repeat offenders.
These stories included a public call-out by the Attorney-General to hear evidence-based solutions necessary to tackle youth recidivism.
In response to this, The Guardian’s recommended reads this month are several reports that have been handed to the South Australian government over the years that include recommendations on addressing youth crime.
- The African Communities Council of South Australia’s Inquiry into Youth Violence and Crime within African South Australians Communities.
- To Break the Cycle 2007: Prevention and Rehabilitation responses to Serious Repeat Offending By Young People.
- Advisory Commission into the Incarceration Rates of Aboriginal Peoples in South Australia
