ADMJ 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Victoria Police
Document Summary
In the more radical versions of community policing, crime-control issues are determined and implemented entirely by the local community itself (see, for example, airo-farulla 1992). For instance, there are many cases now across. Australia where aboriginal people are playing an increasing role in policing their own communities (see willis 2010). Aboriginal community patrols, which are also known as night patrols, street. Patrols, bare foot patrols or mobile assistance patrols, depending on the region. In a review of the work of these patrols, blagg and valuri argue that: Community patrols represent a distinct form of policing, as they fit neither in the public police nor private security. The public police act with the authority of the law and as its agents, while private security agencies tend to act as agents of business. Community patrols, on the other hand, operate in the interests of a particular community or constituency.
