[Deborah Staines]

UNREQUITED JUSTICE

The Department of Critical and Cultural Studies, Macquarie University,
presents Unrequited Justice - a colloquium on the criminalisation of
targeted youth groups and the failures of the juvenile justice system.
The keynote speakers will be Ray Jackson, President, Indigenous Social
Justice Association, and Dr Sev Ozdowski, Human Rights Commissioner,
Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission.

Unrequited Justice will address a number of critical juvenile justice
and social justice issues, including:
- racialisation of crime, with particular focus on criminalisation of
Indigenous youth and Arab-Australian youth 
- criminalisation of refugee children and youth because of Australia's
policy of mandatory detention 
- criminalisation of youth with mental illness and homeless youth 
- cultural politics of media representations based on racial profiling
of targeted youth groups 
- issues of juvenile justice that remain unresolved and institutionally
unaddressed 
- practices of policing, criminalisation and incarceration of youth
that result in travesties of law and justice
