Publisher's Synopsis
This volume focuses on the Indigenous Intervention and contains a multi-disciplinary collection of articles on:
- the Interventions effects on child safety and wellbeing;
- the seeming fact that enhanced prosecutions of Indigenous people post-Intervention are mainly for road traffic matters;
- the likely impacts of compulsory income management of welfare recipients in the affected communities;
- the impact of the 2010 amendments and whether the legislation and administration remain racially discriminatory;
- the impact of increased policing before and under the Intervention;
- the assimilative tendency of current outstations and homelands policies; and the paradox which sees an ostensibly benevolent intervention deprive Indigenous Australians in affected communities of control of many aspects of their lives.
