Aboriginal criminological research

Abstract

The workshop consists of an orientation paper and a series of unstructured discussions. Areas of consideration are based on the stages of procedure through the criminal justice system (meaning of crime, law enforcement, courts and corrections) and the types of research and programmes to be considered (description, empirical, evaluative research, case studies and the collection and collation of data on which further work could be based).
