The implementation of Indigenous crime and justice policies and programs in Australia: issues and challenges
Indigenous Justice Clearinghouse Research Brief 18 considers how policy makers develop, implement and evaluate Indigenous justice programs and services. It scopes the growing body of evidence about implementation in Australia. Examples of key polices and strategies are considered, including: policing measures introduced under the Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER); night or community patrols; Aboriginal sentencing courts; and men’s behaviour change programs. A framework bringing together theoretical and practical factors is presented that can be used to evaluate and increase the successful implementation across a range of programs.
