Summary of major findings, conclusions and recommendations. “In this report we review the historical and contemporary record of Aboriginal people's experience in the criminal justice system to secure a better understanding of what lies behind their over-representation there. Our mandate requires us to do more, of course, than provide a framework of understanding. It also charges us with providing a framework for change. That framework has two distinctive yet inter-related dimensions. The first dimension is the reform of the existing criminal justice system to make it more respectful of and responsive to the experience of Aboriginal people; the second dimension is the establishment of Aboriginal jus-tice systems as an exercise of the Aboriginal right of self-government”--Preface, p. xi-xii.
