  • UNIT COORDINATED
    Indigenous Justice Issues
    This unit explores a set of enduring justice issues that are experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia. The role and legacy of settler colonialism frames the examination of justice issues, as well as contextualises the possible solutions that are proposed. The unit will predominantly focus on criminological subject areas such as policing, youth crime, and criminal law, though will cover some other topical justice issues in other legal areas such as Native title, Intellectual Property, and treaty negotiations. Where appropriate, comparisons are drawn from the experience of Indigenous people in other places.
