Skinheads
The day is warm, a crisp 24 degrees. Everything seems to be peaceful, on the outside. But on the inside, the things that the world does not see; the things that take a lot more than the human eye to see; the city streets are screaming. I walk into one of the local diners; everything is silent, menacing faces staring at me as if I don’t belong. I notice that a lot of them look the same, like a gang, dressed the same as each other; using the same language. Doc. Martin combat boots with the Union Jack, girls with short tartan skirts. Young boys, maybe as young as 13, wearing thin suspenders and bomber jackets, emblazed with the Nazi insignia. I wonder to myself, why would they dress the same? Yet still, out of all these severely prominent features, was an instantly recognisable characteristic, a shaved head. The Skinheads!These were the first Skinheads that I had ever recognised on the streets; all of the other suspicious characters were just by-passers. When I walked into this diner I knew that this town was different, the youngsters were self absorbed in their selves. This was the town, which taught me about the other side of town, the side that didn’t want “Asian Invasions.â€
So is that the answer to getting the levels of Skinhead violence down in our society? Increasing law enforcement? We can not get rid of Skinhead violence, we can only except it. Violence in our society will always be relevant. Either through the use of Neo-Nazi music, magazines or electronic communications - Internet and computer bulletin board services. According to the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (1995), Skinhead numbers have risen over the past decade from a relative few to 300 to 400. There are now Skinheads in most State Capitols, and due to the rising amount of immigrants moving into Australia, there are sure to be more Skinhead gangs established.
