Aboriginal Studies Press, 2004. In large illustrated wrappers. This report is the outcome of a project funded by the Criminology Research Council. The original title of the project, in the name of Colin Tatz was "Aboriginal youth suicide : towards a model of explanation and alleviation". In seeking to gain an understanding youth suicide in Aboriginal and Maori communities, Tatz examines the social and political contexts, the origins of the "new violence", the anthropology of suicide, the prevalence and nature of Aboriginal suicide, and social and contributing factors. What began as a 1999 report to Australia's Criminology Research Council has been expanded and personalized into a study of young Aboriginal men and women who feel they have no purpose in life and choose death instead. It focuses on New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, and New Zealand, where suicide rates may be the world's worst. Tatz (Macquarie U.) works to get behind the statistics to portray the grim history that has led to this public health crisis as well as the alienation of contemporary Aboriginal life that perpetuates it.. Fine as New.
