Notes:	Overview:This article discusses the 2007 case of Director of Public Prosecutions for Western Australia v Mangolamara:, involving an application by the Director of Public Prosecutions for an order under the Dangerous Sexual Offender's Act 2006:(WA) against Mangolamara, an Aboriginal man with a history of violent sexual offending. The authors note that the case highlights (a) the problems with the Act regarding what ought to be done with serious violent Aboriginal offenders who pose an ongoing danger to the community; and (b) the urgent need for adequately resourced and improved development programs and treatment services that are designed, implemented and delivered by Aboriginal people, specifically for Aboriginal offenders. The authors suggest the Canadian approach involving the establishment of Aboriginal 'healing lodges' as a way forward.
