INTRODUCTIONIndigenous people, communities and nation have historical continuity having pre-colonialand pre-invasion society which developed on their territories Gerber & et.al., (2018). They consider themselvesasdistinct and different from other sectors of the society and they are now prevailing in such territories or in their parts. The policies for these indigenous communities considers various matters that are related with sustainable policing services and enhances their safety. The reflective journal report will explain about the policing, indigenous community and the Criminal Justice System that is required for beginning criminal justice practitioner or professional. The journal will briefly critique about key contemporary debates regarding the policing of indigenous people. Current police policies will be evaluated that focuses on indigenous people. The discussion about ways in which government responses to indigenous people affect the policing of such people is also done. MAIN BODYLO 1Impact of colonisation on contemporary police and Aboriginal relationsColonisation refers tothe setting up of colony that is away from the one's place of origin.Various indigenous peoples spread across Australia before the British people's arrivalCarey &et.al., (2017). And they were then extensively and systematically removed from their land anddeniedignitionabout legal rights of that land and also political and social structures which usedto govern their lives Ng-Hublin & et.al., (2017). From my learning and understanding on thetopic of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, I can say that there was negative impact ofcolonisation on the relationship of Aboriginal people and police. Various examples are there in which police heavy-hands on incidents that includesAboriginal peoples. I can say this after reviewing on one of the case, in which Aboriginal peoplewere caught hunting in Western Australia's unfenced area. According to the Land AdministrationAct, it is allowed to thisfor traditional landowners and various other cultural pursuits onparticular pastoral leases. Station ownerswere generally very respectful with such rights(Aboriginal-police relations. 2019). But in the case of Aboriginal people, staff station alteredpolice then sent two cars, caught the group of people andthenthey were also allegedly 'eye-balled' elders. Overall police showed immature behaviour in this particular case.1
