The state government has committed to telling police when juvenile criminals are released from detention in a bid to cut down on re-offending.

Children's Minister Jenny Mikakos said police would be given details of every youth offender leaving the justice system.

“Under reforms we have put in place, police will have information on every single person who leaves youth justice, whether on parole or completion of their sentence — something the previous Liberal Government refused to do," Ms Mikakos said.

“Community safety is our first priority and we’re cracking down on these young offenders."
