Bully in the playground: a new stolen generation?

Abstract

"The overwhelming conclusion to be drawn from the Little Children are Sacred report, and the many preceding it, is the need for a massive investment in infrastructure and opportunity in Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory. Interventions must be resourced over the long term and implemented in partnership with community-based organisations. They need to build on existing health, justice and counselling capacity at the regional and community levels. Finally, they need to be implemented in a non-discriminatory fashion against the perpetrators, rather than the victims - both internal and external to communities. These will surely include the small business profiteers and itinerant workers who supply and distribute much of the illicit drugs and pornography, underwriting the sexual economy that has attracted so much vicarious scrutiny in the media" - page 95 Show more
