An Australian cabinetmaker, Jeff Usher, has astounded people with his extraordinary response after his business was robbed. Instead of involving the police, Usher decided to offer a generous opportunity to the teenage culprits. Usher took to social media to express his disappointment at the break-in and shared his desire to reach out to the young men. The small community of Katherine and Usher’s business, Custom Cabinets, have been long-time supporters of the youth. Usher proposed the idea of providing training and potential long-term employment to one of the teenagers, in an attempt to divert them from a path of crime and incarceration. Usher emphasized that the current approach to juvenile crime isn’t effective, and he hopes to build up young individuals rather than condemn them. The offered olive branch has received warm praise from people all across Australia. Usher believes that helping troubled youngsters is more beneficial than further punishment. He recognizes the impact the crime had on his business but is focused on making a positive change. Usher’s actions reflect the sentiment of many others in the community who want to address the rising crime rates in the Northern Territory. In April, a petition was signed by over 800 Katherine residents, urging for stricter measures such as a curfew for young children. The community is yearning for a restoration of law and order, and MLA Jo Hersey has taken the plea to parliament. Crime rates in Katherine have seen a drastic increase, with property offences up by over 80% and offenses against individuals up by 57% in the past year.
