    Race riots on the beach: A case for criminalising hate speech?

    No full text
    noThis paper analyses the verbal and textual hostility employed by rioters, politicians and the media in Sydney (Australia) in December 2005 in the battle over Sutherland Shire¿s Cronulla Beach. By better understanding the linguistic conventions underlying all forms of maledictive hate, we are better able to address the false antimonies between free speech and the regulation of speech. It is also argued that understanding the harms of hate speech provides us with the tools necessary to create a more responsive framework for criminalising some forms of hate speech as a preliminary process in reducing or eliminating hate violence

    A federation of clutter : the bourgeoning language of vulnerability in Australian policing policies

    No full text
    The policing of vulnerable people has long been a topic of operational uncertainty and political sensitivity. On the one hand, governments have accepted that police officers require special mechanisms to cater for disadvantaged social groups and should interact with members of these groups in such a way that vulnerability attributes are acknowledged (Bartkowiak-Théron and Asquith 2012a). On the other hand, agencies disagree on a variety of technical issues relating to the policing of vulnerable people, such as collaborative logistics, leadership, ownership and resource sharing. The policing of vulnerability has been under close scrutiny for over 30 years, with an increasing array of government and non-government services contributing their own areas of expertise to assist in solving these ‘wicked’ issues (Fleming and Wood 2006: 2). Yet, the burgeoning lists of who constitutes a vulnerable person, and the haphazard and localised development of strategies, have left little room for policy and practice transfer across vulnerability attributes, let alone jurisdictions. In this chapter, we reverse the policy transfer lens from the UK and US to consider the valuable policy and practice innovations developed in one Australian jurisdiction that may resolve some of the operational barriers to policing vulnerability in other jurisdictions

    Vulnerability and the art of complaint making

    No full text
    Considerable research, in recent times, has been devoted to some of the experiences of increased vulnerability in victimisation, especially those victims of sexual assault and domestic violence (see for example, Heenan and Murray, 2006; Lievore 2003; Taylor and Gassner, 2010). Other vulnerable victims remain under-represented in the research, and few resources have been allocated to investigate their specific experiences. In particular, the victimisation experiences of elder abuse and hate crime continue to be marginal to both research and policy development in policing. In this chapter, the experiences of gay men and lesbians are deployed to illustrate some of the extreme victimisation processes faced by hate crime victims. Importantly, these are not necessarily unique to this vulnerable population; apart from similarities with other victims of hate crime (especially, the elderly and disabled), the issues raised in this chapter can, at times, present themselves in crimes without a “hate” motivation, and thus provide a resource for policing other vulnerable groups

    Vulnerability and diversity in policing

    No full text
    We suggest that some communities are left out of this social development of the criminal justice system – that is, not invited to participate and/or not capable of participating. Most of those left out of shaping the system are, paradoxically, the targets of greater and greater surveillance by the police, by way of specific legislation, guidelines and operational protocols. These social groups are commonly referred to as being “at risk” groups, or “vulnerable people”. But what do these terms mean? Who is “vulnerable”? How is vulnerability assessed, and why? How does this influence policing practices? Can we measure vulnerability? Do some vulnerabilities supersede others? This collection begins to answer some of these important questions in relation to the policing of vulnerable communities, or “vulnerable people”, as we choose to use in this book

    Vulnerable people policing: a preparatory framework for operationalising vulnerability

    No full text
    This conclusion contributes a first time, modest attempt at a step-by-step approach that police organisations and partner agencies can use to address vulnerability-related incidents and vulnerable people in the criminal justice system and beyond. These steps concern the various dimensions of police work, from daily frontline operations to strategic and policy-driven considerations
