Tougher national parole laws won't end the violence

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

Sadly, another horrific episode under the banner of Islamist extremism is front-page news. This time the perpetrator was a 29-year-old Somali-born Victorian man, Yacqub Khayre, described as a weakling, deserter and a jihadi of convenience. On Monday, armed with a sawn-off shotgun and having removed his electronic monitoring bracelet, he killed a newlywed father and engaged in a suicidal shoot-out with police. It transpires that Khayre was on parole, granted in November 2016 after he had served four years of a 5Â½-year sentence for an aggravated burglary committed while on the drug ice. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was incredulous. How was he on parole? he asked. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten was equally outraged.
