Today Nicole is joined by Acting Inspector Alice Carnes from Queensland Police Service.

Alice is in charge of the Crime Prevention Unity for Queensland Police and there is constant media attention about youth crime in Queensland. ORC and recidivist offenders are serious problems for the Australian retail industry. We all know that retail crime disrupts operations, harms staff, impacts customers and erodes profitability. It also seems that retail businesses are prime targets for organised criminal networks and repeat offenders – starting small and building up to larger crimes with a huge impact on community.

Her research interests surround the policing of minority communities and how citizens perceive their treatment by police in both general investigation and counter-terrorism investigations and Natasha’s research also focuses on young people's perceptions of and experiences with various aspects of the criminal justice system, examining how their views relate to broader feelings of trust and legitimacy of criminal justice actors as well as the criminal justice system as a whole.
