John MacKenzie chats with Kevin Goan, Acting Superintendent of Cairns Police, about youth justice reforms and new preventative trials to avoid auto theft.
Kevin explained how recidivism is a key factor, as the majority of crime problems in Cairns are caused by a minority of repeat offenders, and early intervention is imperative.
Vehicle engine immobilisers have also been a hot topic after $10 million in funding was announced by the state government for the subsidy of such technology. The immobilisers require a pin code to start the car, which should effectively lower the rates of stolen vehicles.
