Summary: Let

$(A, G, \alpha, u)$ be a twisted C*-dynamical system in the sense of Busby and Smith. Then for any closed subgroup H of G,

$A \times _{\alpha ,u} H$ is Morita equivalent to

$C_0 (G/H,A) \times _{\tilde \alpha ,\tilde u} G$ , where

$(\tilde a,\tilde u)$ is the diagonal twisted action. We show that the space of compactly supported bounded Borel functions B_c(G, A) can be given a natural pre-imprimitivity bimodule structure which implements the equivalence, and use this to induce representations from

$A \times _{\alpha ,u} H$ to

$A \times _{\alpha ,u} G$ . We prove an imprimitivity theorem for this inducing process, and show how the inducing processes of Busby and Smith and Mackey are special cases of ours.
