Australian deaths in custody - Twenty years later - Nothing has changed - The answers do exist

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Sat, 09/04/2011 - 11:15am

Australia has one of the world’s worst deaths in custody records. As a researcher I have compared Australia 's deaths in custody record in terms of proportion to populations with other countries. Deaths in custody includes prison and police custody. We compare badly with even Apartheid South Africa .
