Title: ‘Boys, You Wanna Give Me Some Action?’ Interventions into Policing of Racialised Communities in Melbourne

Summary: This report examines African young people’s experiences of policing practices across three regions of Melbourne: the City of Greater Dandenong, Flemington and Braybrook. The report particularly examines African young people’s experience of ‘community policing’ activities in these areas. Policing has been consistently identified as one of the biggest issues confronting African young people across Australia. Despite this fact, this report highlights a vast gap between what African young people have to say about these issues and public discourse about these issues. This report brings to the fore the stories and analyses of African young people whose lives are heavily affected by policing. Policing renders visible broader social tensions to do with race and poverty. As such, an examination of policing can help us understand the nature of complex, broader issues.
