Aboriginal Justice Implementation Commission final report. Mandated to review and propose methods of implementing recommendations that the Manitoba government is accountable as detailed in the 1. Aboriginal Justice Inquiry. The report includes 5 sections: introduction; Aboriginal rights and Aboriginal relations; community and restorative justice; crime prevention through community development; and, concluding thoughts. Recommends the establishment of an Aboriginal Justice Commission and a Roundtable on Aboriginal Issues. Study of linkages between public legal education and information, legal aid and native courtworker programs. Report prepared for Department of Justice. Gladue (1. 99. 9) is the first case in which the Supreme Court has interpreted s. Criminal Code. The procedures and duties imposed by this decision govern the sentencing of all adult Aboriginal offenders in Canada. Article points out the troubling aspects of Gladue and suggests an alternative interpretation of s. Aboriginal offenders’ over- representation in prisons while simultaneously encouraging the increased use of restorative community- based sentencing options for them. Issues: s. 7. 18. Part XXIII of the Criminal Code; particular attention to the circumstances of Aboriginal offenders has to be subject to the fundamental principle of proportionality; and sentencing innovation can stop the disproportionately harsh sentences to which Aboriginal offenders are currently being subjected. Concludes that if the Supreme Court had adopted the author’s approach, real guidance, consistent with established principles of statutory interpretation, would have been provided to lower courts with an approach on how to sentence Aboriginal offenders. Trends and Issues in Crime and Criminal Justice, No. Australian Institute of Criminology, Canberra. At 2. 1 times more likely to be held in custody in 1. Indigenous youth are increasingly over- represented in the juvenile justice system. As of June 3. 0, 1. Indigenous youth comprised 2. Australia and represented 3. Queensland, 5. 8% in Western Australia (WA), and 3. New South Wales (NSW)). Indigenous youth and 6. Indigenous youth were held in Queensland, WA, and NSW. An Indigenous youth was more likely to be detained than a non- Indigenous youth by 4. Queensland, 3. 2 times in WA, and 2. NSW. Along with the narrowing of the gap between sentenced and remanded youth, the commitment to the principle and practice of detention as a last resort is questioned. Attempts to divert youth from the juvenile justice system, including detention, impact differentially on Indigenous and non- Indigenous youth, with a net effect of further concentrating Indigenous youth in the system. Results are presented by jurisdiction, age group, and gender. Canadian Journal of Criminology, 3. Included: interviews with 8. Estimates of how frequently various forms of disorder occurred varied between communities. They also varied in whether these problems should be dealt with by the community itself or by the police and courts. Majority thought the community should deal with the problems. Police reports on the types of occurrences also varied across communities and across time. Majority of the communities think that the current system is not serving them well and should be replaced by an Aboriginal legal system. However, some communities lack social control mechanisms and require outside assistance. The solution has to be tailored to fit and be flexible. An analysis of American Indian homicide: A test of social disorganization and economic deprivation at the reservation county level. Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency, 2. Tests indicators of social disorganization and economic deprivation, controlling for age and American Indian status. Analysis were performed on 1. Two- indicator Social Disorganization Index was constructed to measure the degree of instability in reservation communities (indicators: percentage of female- headed American Indian families with no husband and where children under the age of 1. American Indians who did not live on current reservations in 1. Index to measure the extent of economic deprivation on reservation communities (percentage of American Indian families below the Social Security Administration’s defined poverty level; percentage of American Indians unemployed; percentage of American Indians aged 1. Examined homicide rates between 1. Results indicate that both social disorganization and economic deprivation contribute to high levels of lethal violence in reservation communities. My gift to my people: Case study describing the impacts and benefits of the Cape Dorset NU Project: “Healing and harmony in our families. Prepared for the Board of Directors, Aboriginal Healing Foundation. AHF Project Number: CT- 4. NT/3. 2- NT. Objectives: provide healing and training to individuals who are committed to personal healing and who will support healing within their family and the community at large; develop and implement a healing strategy that will include training workshops for healers and caregivers, community awareness workshops, healing circles or gatherings for women, teens, Elders and men; and plan and deliver healing camps on the land at least once a year for targeted groups, including youth, women, men, Elders and families. Outlines potential indicators of change including Aboriginal Healing Foundation (AHF) chosen social indicators: physical abuse; sexual abuse; incarceration rates; suicide; and children in care. The Baffin region shows the highest male suicide rate in Nunavut at 1. Conclusions: short- term outcomes suggest that progress is being made in a number of areas: increased skill and capacity of caregivers to support healing within their family and community; increased capacity to effectively manage individual and family crisis; strong, effective Community Healing Team; overcoming powerlessness and hopelessness; and increased sense of pride in culture and spirituality as it relates to healing. Health needs of Manitoba Indians were assessed using: surveys of social and health indicators and analyses of these with such factors as hospitalization rates; and questionnaires administered to key informants from 3. Health problems were judged to be most serious by Indian respondents living in the most acculturated community, Winnipeg. Suggest that acculturation may provide a mixed blessing for Aboriginal people - although some of the advances of western civilization (e. Aboriginal people at greater health risk. Reviews current statistical data to demonstrate inequalities and to suggest the extent of negative feedback among poverty, health and social structure. Examines: Aboriginal population (size, growth, age structure, geographic distribution, migration and urbanization); resource endowments; income and occupations (labour force, unemployment, occupations and wage parity, trends in growth and poverty); health status (infant mortality, adult mortality and morbidity, infectious diseases, health and changing lifestyles, access to health facilities, housing and water supply, environmental hazards); linguistic and cultural integrity; schooling; family break- up, childcare and adoption; chemical dependencies and mental illness; violence against self and others; criminalization; government services and transfer payments; political rights and empowerment. Conclusion notes some of the implications for social development policy. In earlier days, there was a survival benefit to this mechanism, but now it results in obesity leading to complications like high blood pressure and diabetes. American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research, 5(1), 1. A consistent pattern emerged, showing the lowest rates of use among Anglo youth, higher rates among non- reservation Indian youth, and the highest rates among Indian youth on reservations. Rates of tobacco use, both smoked and smokeless, and marijuana use are especially high for Indian youth. Indian youth also show a pattern of earlier initiation to drug use. At every point in time more reservation Indian youth are involved with drugs than non- Indian youth. Rates for cocaine and hallucinogen use by Indian youth increase until 1. The decline in overall drug use has occurred because a considerable number of moderate users have shifted to non- use. There has been no decrease in the proportion of high- risk users; since 1. Societal changes and prevention programs are reaching casual drug users but not those susceptible to heavy drug involvement. Dimensions of geographic mobility and churn in social cohesion: The case of Aboriginal peoples. Strategic Research, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Mobility rates from 1. Aboriginal people from reserves moved compared to 6. Canadian population, with the majority of movers, Aboriginal and non- Aboriginal alike, between 1. Of a total of 8. 7,4. Aboriginal migrants, 6. In contrast, the 9% that moved to a reserve overwhelmingly did so for family reasons (about 4. Saskatoon saw the majority of movement (both in and out), followed by Calgary. However, of the top 1. Canadian cities, only Saskatoon, Thunder Bay, and Ottawa- Hull saw a positive net migration. Uses Winnipeg as a case study of churn. Factors related to urban churn include the high state of flux of Aboriginal population, housing issues, poverty levels, and labour force issues. Concludes that the current housing crisis and shortage of job opportunities in Aboriginal communities, combined with the growth of the working age population, will likely generate increasing pressures to migrate from reserves. Points to the need for research on the health of Aboriginal offenders.
