The Crisafulli Government is making Queensland safer after a decade of Labor's weak laws, with the latest Queensland Government Statistician's Office Crime Report showing positive early signs following the introduction of landmark Adult Crime, Adult Time laws.
The QGSO Crime Report, Queensland, 2024-25, released today, provides a snapshot of the first six months of the Crisafulli Government's landmark Adult Crime, Adult Time laws, showing overall crime fell by 1.2 per cent in 2024-25, compared to the previous year under Labor.
The report reveals the immediate and significant impact of Adult Crime, Adult Time, including:
- A 9.9 per cent reduction in the rate of break-ins, compared to 2023-24;
- A 10.6 per cent reduction in the rate of robbery, compared to 2023-24;
- A 5.6 per cent reduction in the rate of stolen cars, compared to 2023-24.
- The majority of robberies, break-ins and stolen cars are no longer being committed primarily by youth, for the first time in half a decade;
- A 16.7 per cent drop in the number of youth offenders compared to 2023-24;
The Crisafulli Government's plan to make Queensland safer with more police, stronger laws, early intervention and rehabilitation has already delivered a 7.2 per cent reduction in victims of crime in Queensland in 2025, compared to the previous year.
The landmark Adult Crime, Adult Time laws were backed by Queenslanders after a decade of Labor's weak laws created a generation of serious repeat offenders and Labor's Youth Crime Crisis.
While early indications in the Crime Report are positive, the Crisafulli Government is continuing to deliver on its plan to restore safety where you live, with Operation Forge's crackdown on break-ins, robberies and stolen cars, charging 1,317 people with 2,972 offences in its first month.
Acting Minister for Police and Emergency Services Deb Frecklington said the Crime Report showed the Crisafulli Government's 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.
"Adult Crime, Adult Time laws send a clear message – if you commit serious crimes, there will be serious consequences.
"The Crisafulli Government is restoring safety where you live after years of Labor failure, and we won't be taking our foot off the pedal as we continue to give our police the laws and resources they need after Labor's decade of decline."
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.
