Abstract
The Western Australian Parliament has passed the Prohibited Behaviour
Order Act 2010. This Act enables a court to prohibit a person aged 16
years or over who has been convicted of an offense with an anti-social
element from engaging in otherwise lawful behaviour that the court
regards likely to increase the chances that the person will commit a
further such offense. The Act provides that details of the person and
the order will be posted on a departmental website even in the case of
the young and that anyone is free to republish that information. This
paper reviews the traditional stance of the law relating to publication
of child offending before discussing the pros and cons of how prohibited
behaviour orders will affect this position.
