Notes:	Provides an overview of the various factors currently thought to contribute to violence in Indigenous communities, including alcohol, colonisation, tradition/culture and race, and the theoretical and/or empirical justifications that have been given for these explanations. The role that imposed ‘solutions’ can play in exacerbating existing problems is highlighted and the need for approaches to Indigenous issues to recognise the inter-cultural context within which such issues arose is emphasised.
