The suburban train stations where building trust is reducing crime

Something positive. We could use this idea all over Australia imo.

A program connecting vulnerable people with outreach workers at train stations is being credited with reducing antisocial behaviour in Melbourne’s outer south-east.

The Community Connectors program has supported thousands of people with issues like mental health, housing and substance use.

The program is being expanded to the city’s west following a fatal alleged attack on a shopkeeper last month.
