Description

Subject Area: Criminology

This course traces the use of the criminal justice system in Australia to control Aboriginal people, from the period of colonial dispossession to contemporary times. Looking at crime and criminal justice through a post-colonial lens, we will hear from Aboriginal voices about experiences of crime and criminal justice, identify emerging trends in Indigenous justice from Australia and elsewhere, and consider the possible role of self determination and reconciliation in the 'decolonisation' of criminal justice.
