Queensland Premier David Crisafulli has announced an expansion of the state's adult crime, adult time laws, introducing a breach bail, go direct to jail policy for young offenders accused of committing crimes while on bail. The policy has received support from victims' families, including relatives of grandmother Violene White who was killed by a teen who breached bail multiple times. Criminology experts argue the mandatory policy will not reduce youth crime or victimisation, noting that youth offending has been declining for decades and that increased incarceration may lead to worse long-term outcomes.
