About this Model:
This balancing structure loop model visualises the various factors that can affect
the youth of Bourke, NSW. High crime rates have severely affected this LGA in
previous years, however the introduction of a new program is proving to be an
effective limiter for young offenders. This new Community Reinvestment program
is proving to not only have positive impacts on the youth of Bourke, but is
also saving the region a lot of money. This in turn allows for investment back
into local community programs, that would have otherwise gone towards judicial
processes.
Assumptions:
Based on 2016 Census data:
Bourke Population: 3000
Indigenous persons: 1000
Youth*: 669 or 21%
*For the purposes of this model, “youth”
is classified as members of the population under 25 years of age.
Results of reinvestment program:
38% reduction in charges across the top
five juvenile offence categories
31% increase in year 12 student retention
rates
27% reduction in bail breaches by
juveniles
Variables:
Youth Crime rates in Australia as of 2016: 3.33%
