Hi Daniel,
The United to End Racism project might be worth looking at.

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.

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?
