Exploring the experience of security in the Australian Vietnamese community: practical implications for policing

维多利亚州的有效警务依赖于与复杂社区的敏感关系，但警方在与澳大利亚越南社区实施社区警务策略方面遇到了持续的困难。越南居民呼吁警方采取行动，防止与毒品和赌博有关的犯罪。然而，警方发现很难与一个似乎沉默寡言、缺乏信任的社区建立有效的沟通与合作。本项目通过对警察和社区成员的态度、安全与不安全体验、制度文化和文化理解等方面的定性研究，探索这些问题的解决方案。

Effective policing in Victoria depends upon sensitive relations with complex communities, but police experience persistent difficulties in implementing community policing strategies with the Australian Vietnamese community. Vietnamese residents call for police action and protection from drug and gambling-related crime. However, police find it difficult to build effective communication and co-operation with a community that seems reticent and lacking in trust. This project explores solutions to these problems, drawing on qualitative research on attitudes, experience of security and insecurity, institutional culture and cultural understandings amongst both police and community members.
