Fear and race on the streets of Melbourne. For more than two years, the media has been reporting that Melbourne is in the grip of a crimewave, overrun by African street gangs responsible for a wave of violence and theft.

Some residents say they are living in fear, the Sudanese community feels under siege and police are being accused of political correctness and inaction.
