This table released by the ABS (2014) shows a clear and steady rise of the number of Indigenous prisoners from the years of 2004 to 2014, revealing an increase from 5,048 Indigenous prisoners in 2004 and jumping to approximately 9,264 as of 2014. It supports the estimation of a drastic increase in the ratio of Aboriginals prisoners in future years.

The Coalition government declared that there was a ‘national emergency’ on Australia’s borders, in turn demanding a direct response to this ‘issue’ through a disciplined, focused and targeted military operation (Dickson, 2015). Thus, ‘Operation Sovereign Borders’ emerged with its primary objective being ‘to stop the boats’ (Dickson. 2015). This new policy involved the military interception of ‘unauthorized maritime arrivals,’ thus sending the individuals found on the boats directly to Manus Island and Nauru (Fraenkel, 2016). From the inauguration of this revamped policy, no matter where an asylum seeker arrived from by boat, they were subject to transfer to either Manus Island or Nauru (Grewcock, 2014). The purpose of this policy was to ensure the removal of all boat arrivals attempting to breach Australia and in turn any possibility of resettlement for the asylum seekers in the nation (Grewcock, 2014). Thus, those accepted as genuine refugees would be permanently resettled in either Papua New Guinea, or Nauru, although the government of Nauru held that it would not be granting refugees

Asylum seekers who are held in mandatory and indefinite detention for prolonged periods of time

Sadly, that's the harsh reality for many asylum seekers, seeking refuge in Australia as they are arbitrarily detained. Good morning or afternoon. It has been a profound honour to be invited to address you about the eloquently breach of basic human rights asylum seeker face while being detained in our shores. Mandatory detention should be abolished as it causes indiscriminate health risk. Instead, the Australia government should allow asylum seekers to settle into the community. We should be viewing asylum seekers as a humanitarian issue instead of a political one.

In these detention centers, immigrants are often denied medical care, even if they are very ill, and served poor quality food and drinks. They are treated like criminals, yet have not been charged with criminal offenses (Werner). Since 2003, ninety people have died in immigration custody. Many immigrants in the detention centers are also often neglected lawyers. Oftentimes, people are waiting six months for a twenty-minute asylum interview (Hendricks). As a result of rights not being withheld, immigrants are getting unfair treatment.

Asylum seekers or refugees have fled their countries’ due to volatile circumstances such as war, or fear of prosecution. Upon arrival in Australia they are moved to detention centres. Detention centres hold people who have come without a visa, any non-national and all unauthorised boat arrivals (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2014). These centres hold refugees for indefinite periods and in poor conditions. They are used as a spectacle to represent illegality and a threat to Australian society (Marfleet, 2007, p672).

200 bare back lashes, publicly shaming you in front of your whole community. A minimum of 6 months imprisonment. Post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental illnesses left untreated. This is the punishment for a woman in Syria who has been gang raped by 7 men. (pause) In 2011, the Syrian civil war broke out, affecting the whole population. Displacement, house arrest and kidnapping, are just some of the things civilians experience. These innocent victims are petrified to live in their own homes, and are brave enough to flee and strive to seek asylum in Australia. The issue concerning asylum seekers in Australia has been prevalent for more than 15 years now. However, rather then the debate of “letting them in”, it is now an issue of the safety and mistreatment of these refugees.

Although detention was still discretionary and not mandatory, an enactment of the Migration Legalisation Amendment (1989) introduced changes to the system of processing boat arrivals. In his speech, Gerry Hand (1992), the then Minister of Immigration stated that the new policy change is only intended to be an “interim measure…for a specific class of persons”. However, it was subsequently extended to all ‘unlawful’ non-citizens with the enactment of the Migration Reform Act (1992). The Act established a new system of distinguishing a ‘lawful’ and ‘unlawful’ citizen. The changes effectively introduced a policy of ‘administrative detention’ for all people entering Australia without a valid visa, or any others present in the country unlawfully (i.e. without a valid visa), while their

“Things will never be the same.” (Miller, Stone & Mitchell, 2002, p. 3) Law enforcement has undergone dramatic changes as a result of the devastating events in the United States on 11 September 2001 (9/11). This essay will examine how law enforcement, specifically within Australia, has shifted its policies and strategies to fight the post-9/11 terrorist threat. An analysis of police actions towards terrorist related incidents since 9/11, displays how law enforcement agencies have demonstrated their

In response to this financial incentive, local and provincial-level officials have developed a system of extralegal detention to ensure that petitioners are intercepted and secretly detained before they are detected seeking legal redress in Beijing. Once petitioners are abducted, they are transported to black jails. Government employees are sometimes involved in this process, but in most instances, abductions and detentions are carried out by private security forces that are paid by local and provincial governments. Private enterprises are also involved in the operation of these extrajudicial detention facilities as

In my life I have met or had the honor of knowing three people who have followed down the path of criminality. Now these three people were people that I grew up with in my neighborhood or neighborhoods I use to hang out in. Furthermore, some of these people had some form of talent that could have landed them in either the NBA or NFL but due to their life of crime and other issues it placed them in prison. Although, all of the three did not have these talent they still could have found ways be a good citizen. Nevertheless, neither one of the three I will discuss had to fall into a life of crime but after learning about the different theories I now see why they may have done it.
