Perspectives of Officers Policing in Aboriginal Communities Across Canada, 1996 and 2007

Abstract

This paper focuses on the perspectives and work experiences of officers policing in Aboriginal communities in Canada in 1996 and 2007. It is based on two separate nation-wide surveys, the first in 1995-1996 by Clairmont and Murphy at the Atlantic Institute of Criminology and the second a nation-wide assessment of policing in Aboriginal communities by Alderson-Gill Associates in 2006-2007
