| Summary |
While Australian crime rates have fallen over the past decade, assault numbers have remained stubbornly high. Alcohol is a huge factor in street aggression. Incidents can escalate quickly and often with extreme consequences. Emergency and trauma physicians are worried about the cases of severe head injuries coming to the Emergency department. Some say that although assault numbers might be stable, the attacks are more intense and the injuries more serious. Some experts think a change of culture is what's needed, but others believe legislative deterrents are the answer.This week Insight looks at the nature of street aggression and assault in Australia, and how to tackle this growing problem. Insight is hosted by Gold Walkley Award-winning journalist Jenny Brockie. The discussion continues online each week at sbs.com.au/insight, and on Twitter #InsightSBS (An SBS Production) CC |
