Résumé
This is an annotated bibliography of books, reports, articles and papers on aboriginal justice projects. It starts with an examination of previous justice initiatives, the lessons learned from them, and circumstances which are especially relevant to the development of Aboriginal initiatives. Themes covered in the literature include: preparing for implementation of the project; selecting the right staff; networking with mainstream Canadian Justice System officials; equity in carrying out a program; the need to buffer a project's operations from political issues; involving the community; assessment and communication; getting involved with too many activities and services; youth programming; raising issues and dealing with criticism; and the need to retain a balanced perspective (NICI Abstract)
