Book description
The Northern Territory, more than any other jurisdiction has had to confront a world where a substantial percentage of offenders are Indigenous and, until recently, Aboriginal people who had a closer empathy with traditional tribal law than with the imposed Western criminal law. The result is criminal law which differs in a number of important respects from both the Criminal Codes and from the common law. Stephen Gray has written a clear, concise account, covering procedure, all the major offences, and evidentiary issues, which includes a notable chapter dealing with some very difficult sentencing issues. The book is sufficiently black letter to be useful to Territory practitioners and sufficiently contextualised to attract a wider readership.
