| dc.description.notes | Overview: This keynote paper from the 2008 International Conference on Homicide situates homicide amongst remote Aboriginal Australians in a cultural context. Specifically, it focuses on the Wik Aboriginal people of Aurukun in Western Cape York, but extrapolates the findings to the entirety of Aboriginal Australia.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: This paper is written in response to the high rates of domestic and family violence and homicide in Aboriginal Australian communities. Rather than understanding and addressing this violence through a 'structural' lens that takes into account legacies of colonialism, racism and the ongoing disadvantage Indigenous Australians face, Martin offers a cultural explanation for violence.<br/ ><br/ >Martin contends that violence is embedded in and intrinsic to the culture of Aboriginal Australians. He argues that external influences imposed on the Wik community such as firearms and alcohol have been embedded into cultures of violence in Aboriginal communities. Rather than creating violence, Martin argues these colonial technologies have been assimilated into cultural practices.<br/ ><br/ >Finally, Martin suggests that in order to stop violence in Aboriginal communities social and economic disadvantage must be addressed but profound changes to traditional cultural values and practices must also take place. | en |
