Changes in culture of OMCGs
The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) has today released two papers revealing the changing culture within outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMCG) and the effects on members, as described by former OMCG members themselves. These papers, prepared by the AIC’s Serious and Organised Crime Research Laboratory in partnership with Queensland Police Service, highlight the recruitment of increasingly violent and criminally inclined new members and the need to develop flexible support for those who want to leave clubs.
AIC Deputy Director Dr Rick Brown said the findings reveal never before seen insights into the changing nature of outlaw motorcycle gangs, their effects on members and the consequences associated with wanting to leave a club.
