Racial Profiling

‘AFRICAN GANGS’
WHAT IS RACIAL PROFILING?
‘AFRICAN GANGS’
POLICE KILLINGS IN THE US
‘Why do I need to get asked three to four times a
day for my ID because I’m walking down the
footpath?’
Racial Profiling of Young Africans in Melbourne
‘A couple of times I got picked up off the
street, the police told me I was under
arrest, took me to the station, and I just
found out that they just wanted to talk to
me, I wasn’t under arrest…. they just
wanted to tell me, ‘get your boys to
behave themselves’ and I’m like ‘my
boys? This is my friends. We’re only like
17, 18 years old, how are they my boys?’
The police were like ‘we know that you’re
the gang leader’, so suddenly I’m the
leader of a gang. And everything just
started to get out of control. You know,
even when I’m walking down the street
they call out [my name] and then I’ll look,
and then they’ll take a picture of me.’
Smith and Reside (2009)
‘Do I look suspicious?’ - the
killing of Trayvon Martin

Race and the carceral
system in Australia
Incarceration statistics
“There has been a 77% increase of women in prison, and it is Indigenous
women who account for most of this growth. Indigenous women make up
2% of Australia’s population and yet we are 34% of the women behind
bars.”
June Oscar, 2018
Deaths in Custody
“The majority of Aboriginal women behind bars today, regardless of how
they got there, are also victims of family violence, or of the child protection
policies that are ripping more and more Aboriginal children away from the
families”
Amy McQuire
Systemic racism: The
case of Tanya Day
THE CAMPAIGN FOR A CORONIAL
INQUEST
Youth Detention in
Australia
Summary
Crime and ‘deviance’ have long been linked to racialization
Racialized populations are seen as more prone to crime
Racialized people tend to be the victims of more crime
State policy is enacted to criminalize populations
Security concerns are used to justify policing and surveillance
Racialized populations, particularly in Australia, Aboriginal people, are
overrepresented in the prison population
Abuse, including police shootings and deaths in custody are more likely to
occur in the case of radicalized people.
THE KEVIN HENRY CASE
Tutorial work
What assumptions about Aboriginal people are at work in the Kevin Henry
case?
What social/economic reasons may have been at play in Kevin’s arrest and
conviction?
What was the police attitude to this case?
What was the role of the law/justice system?
How might race and gender intersect in this case?
What are the consequences for Kevin’s life? For his family?
What might play a role in reopening this case? What stands in the way?
How does Australia compare to the US in terms of wrongful conviction?
