Online posts urge violence against residents in care home after it was described as a place for ‘youth offenders’

in introducing “even tougher” laws, despite evidence that detention and tough approaches in relation to young people likely lead to increased crime.

At the same time, there is growing concern about extreme and “vitriolic” responses by some community members. One media report following a recent incident included a map clearly showing the location of the home, and described it incorrectly as a “halfway house” that “accommodates youth offenders”.

Racial profiling fears raised as Queensland seeks to expand police search powersBill allows officers in certain locations to search people for weapons without having reasonable suspicion This is ridiculous. Stop expecting results at the wrong end of the problem. Fix the underlying lack of support and maybe disadvantage in this modern AustralianDytopia We need more humanity not more punishment and persecution. Giving racist Qld Coppers more power is dangerous Checking people for knives who are going clubbing may not be the worst idea. This is scary. How can you train a fairly regularly, verbally abused person (Police Officer) to not take out their frustration on others and just walk away every time. I feel sorry for the people (Police) being made to perform this legislated function of law. And citizens.
