In 1993 in Western Australia the Aboriginal Community Supervision Agreement introduced the practice of Aboriginal communities managing the supervision of offenders resident in those communities. Parriman surveys the background behind this development. He discusses the objectives of the community supervision agreement and the critical success factors. Additional ways in which the agreement scheme has indirectly benefited participating Aboriginal communities are also elaborated. A formal evaluation of the effects of this community supervision scheme is under way.
