What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Victorian Greens have proposed establishing an Office of Community Safety & Crime Prevention, which would be modeled after a system implemented in New York City. If the Greens win the November state election, they plan to invest $1 billion to fund 24/7 crisis outreach, prevention programs, and additional support for mental health, alcohol, and homelessness services.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposal aims to address concerns that current government funding for youth crime prevention lacks clear targets or goals. The Greens argue that a whole-of-government approach, which has been associated with safer summer crime rates in New York City since the office was established in March, could reduce violent crime in Victoria.
