By Blagg Harry
Crime, Aboriginality and the Decolonisation of Justice explores contemporary strategies which might diminish the extraordinary levels of imprisonment and victim...isation suffered by Aboriginal people in Australia. The book argues that enhancing Aboriginal ownership and control over justice and justice-related processes is a key factor and focuses on ways this can be achieved. It explores the potential for Aboriginal community/night patrols, community justice groups, healing centres, and Aboriginal courts. Author Harry Blagg disputes the relevance of the western, urban, criminological paradigm to the Aboriginal domain and questions the application of both contemporary innovations, such as restorative justice, and mainstream models of policing. He refutes allegations that Aboriginal customary laws condone violence against women and children, and he suggests that these customary laws contain considerable potential for renewal and healing.Detailed info »« Brief info
