Australian and Aboriginal justice systems are incompatible due to vast cultural differences. This is why 'interventions' do not work.
There are only two solutions, isolation or integration. Anything in between will be a huge waste of resources and effort for the next two hundred years and beyond.
When incompatibilities are so large only radical solutions are appropriate or feasible. There are so many Aboriginals in prisons because they don't respect or acknowledge our laws. How many do gooders does it take to solve the issue? None because it can;t be solved using any of their methods.
Until a more radical approach is adopted we can expect to see high crime rates, full prisons and an aversion to reporting that an Aboriginal is involved in any crime because it is easier to pretend the situation doesn't exist.
