Recommendation 91

Establish and implement cross-agency stretch targets, measures to achieve these targets and publicly report progress against these targets each year

Recommendation

Reduce demand for police, courts and corrective services, and associated infrastructure by establishing and implementing specific cross-agency stretch targets, measures to achieve these targets and publicly reporting progress against these targets each year. The targets should:  

  • seek to reduce the need for additional built infrastructure
  • focus on measures related to prevention, early intervention, rehabilitation and reducing recidivism
  • expressly address over-representation of Aboriginal people in the criminal justice system.
