About this listen

In this episode of Real Crime with Adam Shand, we revisit one of the most violent eras in Victoria’s history through the eyes of former detective and firearms instructor Alex Christich. From the Mad Max manhunt to the Russell Street bombing and the Wall Street police murders, Christich recounts the days when Victoria Police faced armed robbers, escapees and killers who weren’t afraid to shoot it out with the cops. Together, Adam and Alex explore how policing has changed—from the raw, us-versus-them mentality of the 1980s to today’s bureaucratic and politically constrained force—and what’s been lost along the way.
