Hi Daniel,
Limiting my comments to those that work specifically on these issues in
Western Sydney, you might be interested in the following contacts:
At the level of philosophy, Ghassan Hage's work (white nation etc etc) will
be useful, as will Tanja Dreyer (who has recently completed a PhD on
precisely these media debates (i think you will find her at UTS). You can
google all of that for paper details.
Linking theory to practice, in addition to Tanja, also Greg Noble, Scott
Poynting Paul Tabar ('kids, kebabs, cops' & 'bin laden in the suburbs')
have done extensive and useful research, they are based at UWS, as has
Chris Cuneen at Usyd.
Also useful would be the Institute for Cultural Research at UWS - who have
had direct involvement with the area health services on a number of service
delivery projects, as i think have the good folk at CHETRE (who are linked
to swsahs in liverpool).
At the level of communities themselves and their responses, I would suggest
you contact the people at the Information and Cultural Exchange (ICE) in
Granville, and you may also want to contact Donna Mosford at Fairfield City
Council (call or email) who (with many others) has been working on health
strategies with Sudanese young people. You might find more useful responses
and input not from 'science' but from the lived experience in communities.

| Subject: [SDOH] Looking for research on SDs of crime & violence in communities |
>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A public debate has arisen in Western Sydney print media with regard to
race as a lone predicator of criminality. Such arguments seem to come to
the fore perennially in the Australian media. In this instance an associate
professor of law at a prominent Sydney University is claiming, among other
things, that "People are criminals not because they are poor and
disadvantaged; they are poor and disadvantaged because they are criminals".
The associate professor is publicly advocating a reduction of the intake
African refugees with statements like, "Experience practically everywhere
in the world tells us that an expanding black population is a sure-fire
recipe for increases in crime, violence and a wide range of other social
problems".
It is not difficult to rebuff these claims, but I am specifically looking
for published research that can counter these arguments with a sound,
scientific basis. Can anyone suggest some good papers to me?

is the creation of a robust body...Some day, therefore, medicine will
have to convert itself into a science that serves to prevent disease
and orients the public toward carrying out its medical duties."
