A landmark work of Australian social and legal history, Police Killings in Australia by R.W. Harding presents a rigorous and unflinching examination of fatal incidents involving law enforcement across the country. Drawing on case studies, statistics, and legal analysis, Harding argues that systemic failures within policing institutions demand urgent public scrutiny and accountability. Written with the authority of a criminologist and the clarity of a journalist, the work chronicles documented cases of police-involved deaths and interrogates the legal and institutional frameworks that govern — and too often shield — the use of lethal force. This Penguin Special sparked significant public debate upon its release, cementing its place as an essential text in Australian criminology and civil liberties discourse.
