| dc.description.notes | Special Focus Edition: Indigenous Women<br/ >Discusses the establishment and role of community justice groups, on the background of the marginalisation and further disadvantage of Indigenous women accessing the legal system. States that these groups have a role in reducing Indigenous family violence as a means for Indigenous people to resolve issues their own way by their own people. Describes the system of community justice groups as providing for authority of members by their status within the community. Notes that community justice groups provide support for victims, court support and advocacy, community education for Indigenous women about their rights and services available to them, as well as working with offenders ‘to ensure a holistic response to healing families within their communities’. The author describes the use of informal social control mechanisms such as shaming and removal of offenders for time-out from the community without legal sanctions. Mentions also localised management of alcohol issues by community justice groups, declaring “dry places”. States that the effectiveness of groups is well-known though cannot be measured, and cites the challenges for the groups as more is expected of them without commensurate resourcing. | en |
