A headline in the Herald Sun on the 21st of January 2024 stated that reported crime at schools is at a 10-year high, with classroom crimes hitting 120 times a week.

While a percentage of offences have been after hours, with schools needing to suspend 90 students daily, a real problem of discipline is exposed.

Further, if anybody does not see the correlation between crime in our schools and the upsurge in juvenile crime, more generally, they have their head in the sand.

These problems can't be reasonably palmed off as crimes by others outside school hours; there is an inescapable nexus between the school environment and after-hours crime, for the most part.

Nothing in the statistics would indicate that the students are not responsible for much of the after-hours of crime.
