Aboriginal people are grossly over-represented before the courts
and in our gaols. Despite numerous inquiries, State and Federal,
and the considerable funds spent trying to understand this
phenomenon, nothing has changed. Indigenous people continue to be
apprehended, sentenced, incarcerated and die in gaols. One part of
this depressing and seemingly inexorable process is the behaviour
of police. Drawing on research from across Australia, Chris Cunneen
focuses on how police and Aboriginal people interact in urban and
rural environments. He explores police history and police culture,
the nature of Aboriginal offending and the prevalence of
over-policing, the use of police discretion, the particular
circumstances of Aboriginal youth and Aboriginal women, the
experience of community policing and the key police responses to
Aboriginal issues. He traces the pressures on both sides of the
equation brought by new political demands.In exploring these
issues, Conflict, Politics and Crime argues that changing the
nature of contemporary relations between Aboriginal people and the
police is a key to altering Aboriginal over-representation in the
criminal justice system, and a step towards the advancement of
human rights.
