Comment on Queensland media blaming 'crime waves' on youth since mid-1900s, history suggests

So, in my regional QLD state, the inner city (keep in mind, it’s a small city) has between 50 and 100 serious crimes committed per day.
A decade ago, about a third of the crimes were committed by juveniles. It’s now well over half of them.

What’s the rough population? What’s a serious crime? 50 to 100 a day is 18 to 35000 serious crimes a year. Where are you getting your stats?
Because if it’s not Brisbane, then it’s like one in 10 of the population of gold coast or central coast per year having a serious crime or one in 3 for Townsville or smaller. Seems unlikely to me, but I’m open to seeing your data.
