Arresting Incarceration Author: Don Weatherburn

ISBN: 9781922059550 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 224 Published: 3 February 2014 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 21.6 x 14.0 x 1.52 Description: Despite sweeping reforms by the Keating government following the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, the rate of Indigenous imprisonment has soared. What has gone wrong? In Arresting Incarceration, Don Weatherburn charts the events that led to Royal Commission. He also argues that past efforts to reduce the number of Aboriginal Australians in prison have failed to adequately address the underlying causes of Indigenous involvement in violent crime: namely, drug and alcohol abuse, child neglect and abuse, poor school performance, and unemployment.
