How do policing and the criminal justice system touch the lives
of people who are street-involved? Are there reports of racial and
social profiling in Victoria? How is public space policed? What role
do policing and the courts play in addressing poverty? What needs to
change? And how can we do something about?
Come bring your questions
and ideas to an evening discussion with street interviewers,

About the research project
"Out of Sight: Policing Poverty" is a community
research project that takes a close look at how policing and the
criminal justice system intersect with the lives of street-involved
people in Victoria, Coast and Straits Salish Territories. Through over
100 peer interviews, the project opens a space for the experiences and
perspectives of street-involved people to take center-stage in our
communities' efforts to build a better understanding of policing,
criminal justice and poverty.
