Life in a Societal No-Man's Land: Aboriginal Crime in Central Australia

Hans Joachim Schneider

Department of Criminology,University of Munster/Westfalia, Bispinghof 24-25, D-4400 Munster, Westfalia, Federal Republic of Germany

In 1986/7, an empirical study of Aboriginal criminality in Central Australia was conducted. The high crime rate had often been attributed to reasons that disregard the conflict between the Aboriginal and white cultures. This conflict manifests itself in the difficulty in applying the white criminal justice system to the Aborigines. The merger of the two cultures and the implementation of tribal justice as a means of reconciliation and diversion of formal criminal proceedings are key issues to an improvement of the situation.
