Chauvin Trial & Policing – an Australian perspective

We speak with Emeritus Professor Jude McCulloch, Criminology, Monash University and look at the recent Chauvin trial and killing of George Floyd in the US.

We discuss the outcome and the associated response in communities around the world and consider:
• Police racism and police violence: Why we can’t deny the problems in our own backyard
• The militarisation of police forces in Australia, the US and the UK
• How communities have, for decades, rallied to seek justice for victims of police killings
