Aboriginal Peoples Collection

Originally published 1979.

Document intended to provide police with a "guide to using the problem-oriented policing approach" in communities as a method of establishing cooperative working relationships to identify and address problems.

Presents an extensive annotated bibliography, which includes some web addresses for citations.

Based on a 1997 discussion. Includes urban offenders' relationship to their community, jurisdiction overlap, programs and service delivery including sentencing circles, restitution, and justice councils.

Document relies extensively on interviews with workers and professionals in two northern communities, and finds the administration of justice to be cumbersome and inadequate. Recommendations are appropriate systems relative to culture, education and socio-economic reality.
