Culture Shock and Sudanese Crime in Melbourne

#Melbourne #Crime #CultureGap

Could an intergenerational culture gap be part of the reason for the over-representation of Sudanese born people in our crime statistics?

Look at the statistics, recent crime examples and some striking cultural difference, particularly regarding mental health and an apparent lack of government support, I am concerned that this is an example of state negligence.
