‘Aboriginal people are grossly over-represented before the courts and in our gaols. Despite the numerous inquiries, State and Federal, and the considerable funds spent trying to understand this phenomenon, nothing has changed … Indigenous people continue to be apprehended, sentenced, incarcerated and die in gaols. One part of this depressing and seemingly inexorable process is the behaviour of the police’. Publisher’s blurb, 2001.
