Submission to the Inquiry into the External Oversight of Police Corruption and Misconduct in Victoria

Our submission focuses on police misconduct rather than corruption. The contribution by Professor Jude McCulloch concentrates mainly on the inquiry’s first and second terms of reference concerning existing arrangements and best practice models for the oversight of police, with an emphasis on human rights standards. The contribution by Associate Professor Leanne Weber concentrates on one aspect of term of reference number three, specifically the views and experiences of marginalised Victorians, and offers some insights gleaned from academic policing research that are relevant to the final term of reference about strategies for change.
