Is policing in Australia corrupt and abusive? An eye-opening new book investigates
Review: When Cops are Criminals – edited by Veronica Gorrie (Scribe)Edited by former Queensland police officer and Gunai/Kurnai woman Veronica Gorrie, the title of When Cops are Criminals may suggest a book covering high-profile, or unusual, officer-involved crimes. But this collection does not focus on the extraordinary.
As Gorrie explains, her reason for putting the book together was
to highlight the harmful behaviours committed by police every single day, and, more importantly, the impact this has on their victims.Gorrie’s previous award-winning book, Black and Blue: a memoir of racism and resilience, was an account of her time as a police officer between 2001 and 2011. In this new edited collection, 12 authors – survivors, campaigners, practitioners, and academics – share their own stories (or those of others to which they are privy).
The predominant theme of When Cops are Criminals is that police and policing in Australia are systemically corrupt and abusive. Experiences of police misconduct and criminal behaviours – from racial profiling to sexual assault and family violence – are shown to be normalised, multi-jurisdictional, and persistent.
Each chapter addresses the enduring and systemic racism, homophobia, misogyny, institutionalised toxicity, and dysfunction that enable and excuse individual and collective abuses of policing power. The book also highlights the limitations of mechanisms designed to ensure effective police scrutiny and meaningful accountability.
The chapters largely focus on individual experiences, through deeply personal narratives and victim-survivor vignettes. These experiences are not situated within broader statistical analyses or tested empirical evidence, in terms of the number, type, or location of police involved in alleged abusive, corrupt, or criminal behaviours.
Nor, given the nature and purpose of the collection, are specific responses put forward by the various police forces or the bodies that oversee them.
However, a wealth of research confirms the enduring nature, across multiple police jurisdictions in Australia, of behaviour such as racial profiling, police perpetrated family violence, differential treatment of the LGBTQI+ community, discriminatory treatment of young people, and problematic handling of complaints. Victoria’s Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC) has highlighted what it refers to as “cover up” behaviours that can mask police misconduct.
In her introduction, Gorrie notes:
Police are cruel towards many marginalised groups […] Police use excessive force […] Police are committing crimes, while off duty, against their partners, wives, family, and children [… and] Cops are known to prey on other cops.

TITLE: Banning friendships can backfire: Moms who 'meddle' make bad behavior worse
URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2024…
Bad behavior often occurs away from home, leading parents to blame and limit contact with peers. However, a new study shows that banning friendships can backfire, worsening behavior instead of improving it. When moms disapprove of their kids' friends in an effort to curb misbehavior, it often alienates the child from their peers, exacerbating the very issues they aimed to prevent. Meddling in friendships can harm a child's social standing and lead to greater adjustment difficulties.

Es ist sehr aufwendig so viele falten zu nähen.
Entscheidend ist natürlich auch ihre kleider Grösse
Auch der Produktions ort spielt eine rolle bei. Preis.

Der Tag der Befreiung, wie er auch in der alten Bundesrepublik seit 1985 benannt wurde, heißt in der Regierungsantwort übrigens »Jahrestag der Kapitulation der deutschen Wehrmacht und des Kriegsendes«.

Kein Wort von Befreiung und diejenigen die sich als Partisan:innen und Widerstandskämpfer:innen dem Widerstand gegen Nazi-Deutschland angeschlossen haben wird jede Ehrung verwehrt. Auch hier die zeitenwendenmäßige Rolle rückwärts. Die AfD grinst sich eins.
