“There was always something happening, but it's been really bad over the past three years,” says Suzanne Visser, who has lived in Alice Springs for 23 years. The current problems are no surprise she says, but everyone has kept their ears and eyes closed. Suzanne herself investigated crime in her hometown and wrote a book about it, 'The Elephant's Tooth: Crime in Alice Springs'.


This interview is in Dutch.

More information about Suzanne's book can be found here.
