I don't think that increasing the number of aboriginal people in jail is going to resolve the problem. I think it'll be more problematic for correctional institutions to house all these people.
We have to address the underlying issues of why the rates of abuse against women in general are so high. I think the contributing factors are poverty, socio-economic conditions, and overcrowding, and as long as these situations are not addressed, the status quo will remain.
Also, I think there's a lack of awareness, and this I know for a fact from my community. People don't even know.... Well, they know that if they hit somebody, that's physical abuse. But as for emotional or financial abuse, neglect, or leaving the grandparents with the grandchildren to raise, they don't even realize those are forms of neglect and abuse. We have to embark on an education and awareness prevention campaign. That hasn't been done, to my knowledge.
