Summary

"The objective of this project was to enhance the understanding of the law enforcement sector concerning the extent and nature of petrol sniffing and other inhalant misuse by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples predominantly in rural and remote, but also urban communities. A qualitative case study approach was taken to the project, which was conducted in Warburton in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands in Western Australian, four communities in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands in South Australia, Kintore and Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, Mount Isa and Cairns in Queensland, and Perth in Western Australia."--Page viii.
