The myth of Australia’s migrant youth gang
In Australia, as with other countries around the world, migrant young people receive significant media and political attention as the alleged perpetrators of significant criminal activity.This has been a consistent feature over time, with 'Asian gangs' in the 1990s in the US, UK and Australia, 'Middle-Eastern gangs' around the time of 9/11, 'Turkish gangs' and 'Albanian gangs' in the UK and Europe, and 'African gangs' in Australia since the early…
