Every Western Australian has a right to feel safe in their own home. 

That's why a re-elected Cook Labor Government will deliver a $14.5 million package to crack down on violent young offenders. 

These common-sense reforms will provide swifter outcomes for the victims and families of youth crime. 

Under WA Labor, new laws will be delivered to ensure; 

• Young repeat violent offenders have their trial within 28 days 
• Decisions to grant violent young offenders bail will have the ability to be reviewed immediately 
• Violent young offenders on bail will be tracked with $1 million being invested to support of new tracking technology
• Responsible adults will be penalised for failing to report breaches of bail curfew conditions 

To support these reforms, $13.5 million will be invested for a satellite Children’s Court to be commissioned in the old Armadale Court with an additional magistrate appointed to meet the 28-day timeframe.

• This will not only support swifter outcomes for victims but is also in the best interest of
  the child.
• The Satellite Court will also have a dedicated therapeutic court sitting 5 days a week to
  support the diversion of young offenders who engage with behavioural change programs.
• This will support to rehabilitate and break the cycle of offending for young offenders.

Community safety will always be a priority for Roger Cook and WA Labor.
