Young people
Protecting our young people is essential to breaking cycles of criminalisation and incarceration. Through Looking Back, we have tried to bring more attention to the implementation of RCIADIC recommendations that impact our young people.
In a first for this kind of work in Victoria, we sought out information from government departments about all the RCIADIC recommendations that could impact young people, particularly on those in custody. Whilst only a handful of recommendations specifically mention young people, there are many more that are likely to have an impact on them.
Keeping our young people safe is a priority for AJC, and essential to building a strong future for our community.
“We have the solutions, government just need to listen to and invest in us, then we will be able to achieve a shared vision of a safe and just society for all Victorians.”
– Bonnie Dukakis (CEO, Koori Youth Council)
