Policing Australian Popular Music

这个项目将是澳大利亚第一个全面研究警察和流行音乐之间关系的项目。跨学科的方法汇集了犯罪学，音乐，历史，社会工作，文化和音乐教育研究，以调查某些形式的流行音乐和附属社区被定罪的过程，以及音乐家和音乐社区表达对警察和国家权力的抵抗的方式。通过创新的访谈和基于艺术实践的方法，该项目将产生关于国家治理与创造性文化表达之间历史和当代关系的新知识，为警务政策和实践以及文化投资提供信息。

This project will be the first comprehensive study of the relationship between policing and popular music in Australia. An interdisciplinary approach brings together criminology, music, history, social work, cultural, and music education research to investigate the processes by which certain forms of popular music and affiliated communities have been criminalised, and the ways musicians and musical communities have voiced resistance to police and state power. Through innovative interview and arts-practice based methodologies, the project will generate new knowledge on the historic and contemporary relations between state governance and creative cultural expression to inform policy and practice in policing as well as cultural investments.
