Book excerpt: This research was carried out under the auspices of the Department of Justice, Aboriginal Justice Directorate. In addition to exploring the issue of persistent over involvement as offenders within the criminal justice system, the research provides a "voice" to a particularly disadvantaged group of urban Native people - a group usually "seen but not heard". It is about a very specific group of Aboriginal people - those who reside in inner or core areas of cities, and those who use inner-cities services. Their lives are explored in an attempt to shed light on their persistent over-involvement in the criminal justice system.
