Crime Levels: Statements.
There is nothing new in the solution – it is a combination of education, regulation and enforcement. Education takes place at a number of levels. I fully agree with Senator Ormonde that there is an onus on parents. Many children from a particular socio-economic background, however, do not have the necessary parental control and we will not be able to bring pressure to bear on their parents. We must, therefore, provide educational guidance. In our approach to sports clubs, with education, we must create an environment that builds respect for people and property.
