Criminologist Terry Goldsworthy warns interstate hard line on bikies will push them to SA Authorities have declared all- out war on outlaw motorcycle gangs.. in the biggest and most co-ordinated blitz in Victoria's history FEARS: Police raid on the Mongols' bikie club house at Thebarton last month. CRACKDOWNS on interstate bikies will push criminals to other states including South Australia, a top outlaw motorcycle gang expert says. Associate Professor Terry Goldsworthy, a 28-year police veteran who is the Australian Institute of Criminology's go-to man on bikie gangs, said "crime displacement" meant pressure on one area moved criminals to another area. Both Queensland and Victoria have embarked on high-profile anti-bikie campaigns in recent weeks, which has led to threats from the Mongols gang that they will shoot police rather than be arrested. "Some of the bikies are quite transient; they can move easily, they're transportable," he said. Assoc Prof Goldsworthy also said moves like tearing down fortifications made "pin-up boys" of bikies and gives them a "badge of honour." He pointed to the Mongols Motorcycle Club website where they proudly declare themselves to be "the baddest." TELL US: Do you fear the interstate crackdowns will force bikies to SA? Police pulled down the gate to a Hells Angels clubhouse in Melbourne earlier this month and in Adelaide, The Advertiser revealed this week that police want to tear down fortifications at the Mongols' Thebarton clubrooms. They actively promote their image ... (and the) police make pin-up boys of organised crime. But I'm yet to see any concrete evidence of how much crime ... they commit," Dr Goldsworthy said, adding that he would prefer police to focus on targeted investigations using their current powers. State Attorney-General John Rau said uniform national laws should be considered but that there was good cooperation across jurisdictions. "SA has led the way regarding laws to combat OMCGs and our police continue to make life very difficult for them," he said. SA's own crackdown on bikies resulted in bikies moving interstate to avoid the tough laws. Justice Minister Michael Keenan says "no place" in Australia will be safe for bikies, and that it was because state-based gangs had national dimensions that they were working closely with SA and developing national laws. " (This) is why the Federal Government is driving a national response, by cooperating with our state and territory colleagues, to ensure that no place in Australia is safe for outlaw motorcycle gangs," he said. Both Queensland and Victoria will have strike teams to attack the gangs, which Mr Keenan described as "the public face of organised crime in Australia." CONFRONTATION: Victorian police carrying out raids on the Hells Angels club in Melbourne. Queensland Police Commissioner Ian Leavers revealed yesterday he renewed his gun licence so he could carry a Glock pistol for protection from any reprisal from bikies. Federal Opposition justice spokesman David Feeney said the SA Government had taken an important leadership role in combating bikies. He added that the SA Government had a strong record in firm action and highlighted the anti-association laws, police resourcing, and legislation to seize proceeds of crime.
