The St Kilda Police and Citizen’s Youth Club (PCYC) is one of a number of community youth organisations closing its doors due to financial woes. It’s also one of the organisations offering Victorian youths support when they need it most—a service that can be invaluable in keeping young people out of the path of crime.

While an election may have been held already in 2025, Liberal Opposition Leader Sussan Ley appears to have wasted no time in campaigning over Victoria’s surging crime problem.
