A window into the world of street gangs
BODY:
Victoria Police Detective Superintendent Patrick Boyle has spoken to 43 police officers, including one from New Zealand and one from the UK about their direct dealings with gang members in Melbourne. It's hoped the findings, including how a street gang can be identified, the ways they communicate, recruit, and use fear to intimidate others will inform police how to better deal with them. Patrick Boyle says Melbourne street gangs are predominantly ethnic-based and inspired by U-S rap culture. Asian, African, Middle Eastern, Pacific Island, Maori and Aboriginal street gangs were reported. It is the first research of its kind undertaken in Australia, within law enforcement.
EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand youths are helping to spread gang culture across the Tasman, according to a landmark new study into the world of Australian street gangs.
The study - carried out by Victoria Police Detective Superintendent Patrick Boyle - aimed to get a deeper insight into the growing gang culture in and around Melbourne.
He found that Victoria risked being overrun by "institutionalised gangs", including those that originate from New Zealand and the Pacific islands, and which had been allowed to flourish because of decades of being ignored by the police.
Mr Boyle spoke to 50 other police officers for his research, including a New Zealand officer. He told Nine to Noon today that one issue that arose was Australian-born Maori who picked up aspects of local gang culture during visits to family in this country.
"They were coming back with these myths about particular people and their names, which were being mentioned around town. These kids were then copying what they were seeing back home and bringing it back to Australia.
"These kids thought these guys were heroes, but they were criminals."
He said Australian police were also dealing with youths who had been getting into trouble in New Zealand and had been sent to live with family in Australia in an attempt to stay out of trouble.
"Their families are worried about them, and rightly so, and moving them to different locations, including Australia, to gain support form other members of their families. But the kid has come here and mixed with members of their family who might not be good people, or the child is virtually uncontrollable, and this has then seen the cancer of gang culture spread."
The academic research carried out by Mr Boyle also found that Maori and Pacific Island gangs were particularly inspired by US rap culture.
He said a lot of the violence caused by gangs fighting were often over the smallest reasons, such as an argument over girlfriends, but the response could be "quite horrific".
The research has now been sent to intelligence sections within Australian police, and Mr Boyle said authorities across the Tasman had ignored the issue of gang culture for too long.
"They were totally in denial, using terms like 'groups' instead of 'gangs', and Victorian police suffered because intelligence wasn't being gathered correctly, or they didn't collect evidence because officers were told we didn't have a problem, but we did."
His research also found that social media was a growing part of the issue.
"They use social media to arrange confrontations, but also to express their views, to communicate and to recruit. And they learn about other gangs around the world, although they all want to put their own slant on things."

Part of the collection of objects on display at the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool
Dr David Fleming has long challenged the idea that museums should somehow remain neutral and a-political. The Director of Museums Liverpool set up the International Slavery Museum in the city in 2007 to shed more light on one of the darker, most shameful and neglected areas in history. His goal was for it to provoke "the kind of zeal and commitment that fired Martin Luther King, that made his speeches so electrifying in the cause of civil and human rights".
Dr Fleming says the Slavery museum is far from a neutral place, rather it is one of controversy, anger, honesty and campaigning. Its aim is to end racism, ignorance and intolerance and inequality.
That is something he says society is sadly still grappling with. When the museum opened, a visiting African American lecturer and her young were racially abused in the street.
Dr Fleming is the founding President of the International Federation for Human Rights Museums, and is currently visiting Te Papa which is hosting the federation's annual conference.
He spoke to Lynn Freeman on Nine to Noon.

Crafting the Future of Hair
BODY:
What are the demands of the hairdressing industry today, and what does it mean to diversify in a highly competitive business that relies on bums on seats? Sonia Sly visits Willis York in Wellington to meet award-winning hairdresser Bex Brent.
EXTENDED BODY:
“You’re silly in this day and age if you don’t diversify” – Bex Brent, owner of Wellington salon Willis York.
Sonia Sly - sonia.sly@radionz.co.nz
Listen to the audio story to hear an in-depth perspective on the hairdressing industry as Bex and a her team set to work in preparation for an event.
The award-winning hairdresser Bex Brent from Willis York exudes an undeniable passion for people and her work, and regularly branches out beyond the routine of cuts and colours, thriving on collaboration and opening up her space to a range of creative practitioners across a multitude of mediums. Working on editorial shoots and events also provides work for freelance makeup artists and extends the creative network around her.
“When I first bought Willis York my dream was to collaborate and be involved in as much fashion, arts and music as I possibly could, because I have the ability to be able to give the space for free and it gives my stylists something that’s different” – Bex Brent
Bex maintains that hard work and perseverance have been key to attracting the kinds of projects that keep her invigorated. And despite the industry being highly competitive, she insists on working in a way that focuses on community and building relationships, rather than the industry standard of racking up numbers and getting bums on seats.
“I really wanted to slow down the craft of hairdressing. What that means is allocating more time for clients—an hour, rather than the stock standard 45-minutes. “People have to come up two flights of stairs and we’re slightly out of the way, so that reflects in the types of clients that come to us” – Bex Brent
She also provides her stylists with the flexibility to schedule their day in the way that best suits them, because that in itself also allows for growth. An advocate for education in hairdressing, Bex is keen to continue passing down skills to the next generation of stylists. She has taught in Thailand and Vietnam, where she says students will sit a three-month course and are then thrust out into the industry - when things go wrong they blame the products, rather than their lack of training.
She is well aware that the New Zealand stylists are highly regarded, in part, due to the extensive training and availability of apprenticeships. In New Zealand, apprenticeships last for a duration of four years and Bex likes to get her apprentices up and running as soon as possible. They can build their hours and training through experimenting on friends after the salon closes its doors, and are also engaged on a range of external projects that come through the salon.
Bex says the hands-on experience and intensive training is invaluable: “It also means that when you leave New Zealand and go overseas, being a Kiwi in Australia is really, really great because they know that our training is so good.” Winning a highly coveted prize – the L’Oreal Supreme Colour Award (2014) – has also created more opportunities that have allowed Bex to broaden her creative vision. A trip to London and Paris as a result of the win also provided an unforgettable and inspiring experience that still makes her eyes light up. She had the opportunity to visit what she refers to as "the church of hair" – L’Oreal in Paris, where hairdressing began.
“It was unbelievable…winning something like that endorses what I do [and] it’s been opening doors that I haven’t been able to penetrate, because I haven’t had that accolade behind me.”
The trip and the award continue to feed her creatively, and she has high hopes for those young stylists who will follow in her footsteps.

1:15 Red Peak Flag - Gareth Hughes
The Green Party MP Gareth Hughes will try to table a bill in Parliament today, to have the Red Peak flag design added to the flag referendum. The design has gained popularity in recent weeks, and a petition with about 50,000 signatures calling for it to be added was delivered to Parliament last week.
1:20 Eyes East - Evan Smith
A new television series is set to broadcast on CTV. And its creators are hoping it brings a shared community vision, of how to rebuild East Christchurch.

Evan Smith is the programme manager of Eastern Vision.
1:25 Rosetta Spacecraft - Sergei Gulyaev
If you ever wondered how to measure a comet, you're just about to find out. The Rosetta space craft successfully landed a probe on a comet (Comet-67P) last year. And current predictions are that it's 10 billion tonnes - or about the size of Mount Everest. But, scientists think this may be wrong. Professor Sergei Gulyaev is the founder and director of AUT's Institute for Radio Astronomy and Space Research. He's been helping the European Space Agency to find out just how big it is.
1:30 BBC Witness - Ska
