Aboriginal Suicide is Different is a study of youth who have, or feel they have, no purpose in life or who may be seeking freedom in death. It is a portrait of life, and of self-destruction, by young Australian Aboriginal men and women. To comprehend this relatively recent phenomenon, one has to appreciate Australian Aboriginal history and the effects of which contribute more to an understanding of suicide today than to psychological or medical theories about the victim. Australian Aboriginal youth at risk are suffering more from social than from mental disorder. Every Australian's birthright includes the expectation of a healthy and happy life of some longevity, assisted by all the services which a civilized society can make possible. But this is not yet within the Australian Aboriginal grasp. That so many young Australian Aboriginal people prefer death to life implies a rejection of what broader society has to offer. It reflects failure to provide sufficient incentives for young Abor

Seller's Description:
Fine as New. 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.
