IN-CJ Newsdesk 2023 – Australian Perspectives on Policing and Vulnerability

In this session from the IN-CJ Newsdesk 2023, Dr Matthew Morgan and Dr Shannon Dodd discussed some recent high-profile cases involving police use of fatal force on people with mental illness and cognitive diversity. They reflect on whether these events were caused by inadequate police training and/or a toxic police culture. Matthew and Shannon drew upon recent research from a regional town in Australia, regarding car theft and joyriding by young First Nations males.
