indicators, housing, their access or lack of it to land and employment, education; and the part played by alcohol and other drugs are all discussed in the report. Recommendations In all, there were 339 recommendations made in the report, including: Imprisonment should only occur a last resort; Medical assistance must be called where necessary; Better collaboration with Aboriginal communities; The initiation of a process of reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians; Statistics and other information on Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal deaths in custody should be monitored nationally on an ongoing basis, by the Australian Institute of Criminology, with the count based on a specific definition (Recommendation no. 6); Every death in custody in the future, Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal, should be subject to "rigorous and accountable investigations and a comprehensive coronial inquiry", which had not been the case with some of the deaths identified for the Royal Commission. Legacy A related issue, not investigated by the Commission, is the disproportionately high number of Indigenous Australians who come under some form of custody or who are imprisoned under the law. One of the outcomes of the Commission was the establishment of a National Deaths in Custody Monitoring and Research Program at the Australian Institute of Criminology. The Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation was created by an Act of Parliament in September 1991. The Royal Commission recommended that the offence of public drunkenness be abolished. By a legislative change in February 2021, Victoria finally decriminalised the office of being "drunk in a public place" with effect from November 2022. Queensland will be the only state in Australia that will have a specific offence of public drunkenness. Later reviews and analyses Many years after RCIADIC, problems persisted, and various criticisms have been made about the Commission. Some blame the lack of commitment by the various governments to properly implement its recommendations; others blame the Commission, saying it was too constrained by its mandate and so could not possibly have achieved the necessary reforms to tackle the marginalisation of Indigenous people. An in-depth analysis of RCIADIC by Elena Marchetti, Senior Lecturer at Griffith Law School, published in 2005, concludes: "Despite its many flaws – including the fact that legalistic perspectives were generally privileged at the expense of the more non-orthodox points of view – the RCIADIC remains the most comprehensive investigation ever undertaken into the deep disadvantage experienced by Indigenous people as a result of colonisation".
