Youth crime and bail laws are now among the issues most influencing Victorian voters—but has political interference helped create the problem? This thought-provoking article examines the cancellation of the Police in Schools program, the continuing resistance to its reinstatement, and the argument that political and union pressure may have displaced policies designed to build trust with young people, support teachers and prevent offending.

The article also explores changes to police recruit training, their possible consequences for operational readiness and PTSI, and the broader human and financial costs of decisions that warrant closer scrutiny. Read the full article on our website to consider the evidence, examine the questions being raised and decide whether outside influence has contributed to Victoria’s juvenile crime crisis.
