Break-ins, theft and assaults on the rise in 2024
New Queensland Police Service statistics reveal crime continues to rise in Queensland, leaving more victims in its wake.
For the first quarter of 2024, crime is even higher than in the first quarter of 2023, including:
QPS numbers also reveal the number of victims of crime is 3% higher than the first quarter of last year.
Labor can’t fix the Youth Crime Crisis they created with weak laws and fewer police.
So instead, they decided to re-write the definition of hardcore youth offenders to make it look like the numbers were going down.
With Labor, it’s always about how things look, not how things are.
They don’t take crime seriously and they can’t be trusted to fix the Youth Crime Crisis.
Half of all stolen car crimes aren’t solved and therefore those offenders aren’t counted in official stats.
Three-quarters of all break-ins aren’t solved and therefore those offenders aren’t counted in official stats.
This isn’t the fault of our hardworking police on the beat, there simply isn’t enough of them.
This is the result of Labor’s failure to give our police the tools and resources they need to do their job.
The only way to end the Queensland Youth Crime Crisis is to change the Government.
Only the LNP has the Right Priorities for Queensland’s Future, including making our community safer.
If elected in October, the LNP will roll-out the Making Queensland Safer laws before the end of the year, including removing Detention as a Last Resort and putting victims’ rights front and centre.
