Abstract
The 22 papers within this volume are a progression from extremely simple collections and analyses of the basic information to greater sophistication. They illustrate the development over time of ideas and techniques over the course of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. The majority of the papers comprise research reports of projects completed.
The chapters of this book were originally published as Research Papers of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody.
