The State Government has released new data, showing Queensland’s crime and youth offending rates have fallen under the state’s landmark ‘adult crime, adult time’ laws.
The annual Queensland Government Statistician’s Office 2024-25 Crime Report released today provides a snapshot of the first six months of the tough legislation.
It shows crime fell by 1.2 per cent in 2024-25, compared to the previous year.
It also reveals a 9.9 per cent reduction in the rate of break-ins compared to 2023-24, while the rate of robbery fell by 10.6 and the rate of stolen cars dropped by 6.5 per cent during the same time.
Acting Minister for Police and Emergency Services Deb Frecklington said the Crime Report showed the tough on crime approach was beginning to restore safety where you live.
“This report highlights the positive early signs of Adult Crime, Adult Time and how we are starting to turn the tide on Labor’s Youth Crime Crisis,” Minister Frecklington said.
“With stronger laws, more police, the rollout of early intervention and rehabilitation, we are making Queensland safer, just as we promised.”
The Crime Report, Queensland, 2024-25 is based on offences recorded by the Queensland Police Service and reflects data from the 2024-25 financial year.
