Introduction

The communal and personal building of built-up space is a vital component in the kind in which policing and the criminalisation of young people happens in Australian society. For it is the confrontation over the use of specific built-up spaces which in numerous modes types the cornerstone of the connection between young people and the policeman, and therefore the primary stages of the prescribed methods of the lawless individual fairness system.

Personal security, hazards and fears

The GUIC task recognised several mediums through which juvenile peoples pictures of hazard and worry have developed, these included: dwelled experience; harassment and policing of young people by regulatory agencies; parents projecting doubts as a means for shocking young people into containment; newspapers sensationalisation of the difficulties in the western suburbs and young people being stereotyped as perpetrators of violence; and ...
