South Australian Council of Social Service (SACOSS), March 2007
While South Australia has previously been considered a leader in the field of juvenile justice in SACOSS is concerned over the increasing tendency of the State Government to recommend `get tough' initiatives in regards to the law and order debate particularly with juvenile justice and repeat offenders. In this submission SACOSS outlines their position in regards to recent state government proposals in this area and in relation to fair and reasonable policy for young people, young offenders, repeat offenders and crime prevention within a functioning and just criminal justice system.
