Jordan CRUGNALE (Bass) (14:35): (1573) My question is for the Premier. How will the violence reduction unit reduce the risk of youth crime in my electorate of Bass? We know the best way to prevent a life of crime is to intervene early, address root causes and support kids and their families. Alongside tough new bail laws that hold offenders to account, VRU youth engagement programs help at-risk young people stay engaged at school and create pathways to work. In Bass Coast Leading Senior Constable Nicholas Carlson from the proactive policing unit has worked with colleagues and local organisations to develop a new program for at-risk 12- to 15-year-olds. The Shift program – ‘Shift the mindset, change the story’ – uses an adventure therapy model. This initiative needs support through the VRU to get off the ground. Another outstanding service is Nas Recovery in the Casey area. Nyachan Nyak and her team provide alcohol and other drug treatment and mental health support through tailored programs using a theory of change framework.
