Abstract
In 2016 the South Brisbane District of the Queensland Police Service (QPS) trialled a new program that aimed to: 1) build stronger lines of communication between police and Muslim youth; and 2) re-engage disaffected Muslim youth. The program is titled the South Brisbane District Islamic Youth Program (from hereon called the SBD Islamic Youth Program). The SBD Islamic Youth Program involved a 10-session program designed to build strong relationships between police mentors and male Muslim youths in the South Brisbane District (SBD) of Queensland. The program is modelled strongly on the Police Citizen’s Youth Club (PCYC) Deep Blue Line Program, which aims to engage disaffected youth in the community. The QPS worked closely with PCYC staff and the Islamic Council of Queensland to design a culturallyappropriate delivery format to engage young male members of the Muslim community to participate in the program. The Program was run again for the second time in late 2017. The 2017 Program commenced on the 13th of October, with an intake of 16 male Muslim youth.
