Indigenous Communities
and Crime Prevention
This edition of the International
Observer focuses on developments relating to crime prevention policies and practice
among indigenous communities. In many countries around the world, indigenous communities
are especially vulnerable to victimization and criminalization, often as a result
of colonial policies and exploitation. The challenges of developing sustainable
prevention programmes which support those living in remote or rural regions, or
responding in long-term ways to the needs of those who have migrated to urban
areas are enormous. In this edition we are launching ICPC's
recent comparative review of policy and practice in four countries with similar
histories of colonization - Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. Crime
