The Police and Young People in Australia : Cambridge University Press : 9780521435741 : 0521435749 : 31 Mar 1994 : The relationship between the police and young people in Australia is a topic of growing concern in Australian society. While people are concerned about crime, worries have also been expressed about police harassment and violence directed at young people. This book provides a sustained analysis of police-youth relations, offering new insights into how young people are policed. Some specific areas addressed include: the legal framework of police-youth interaction in Australia; the rights of young people; the policing of Aboriginal youth; the relationship between the police and young women; and ethnic and community policing, and likely future directions in policy.
