This project addresses the high over-representations of Indigenous persons with mental health and cognitive disabilities in Australian criminal justice systems. It will develop new understandings of the interactions amongst criminal justice, social, health, disability and other human services for these persons. Using an Indigenous methodology in this study will result in new information and understandings on Indigenous persons' experiences and perspectives. These will allow, for the first time, a critical analysis of system interactions and responses to complex needs for these persons. Outcomes will inform Indigenous theory and will be vital for developing new policy and practice to assist in protecting and promoting Indigenous wellbeing.

该项目解决了澳大利亚刑事司法系统中患有精神健康和认知障碍的土著人士比例过高的问题。它将对这些人的刑事司法、社会、保健、残疾和其他人类服务之间的相互作用产生新的理解。在这项研究中使用土著方法将产生关于土著人民的经验和观点的新信息和理解。这将首次允许对系统相互作用和对这些人的复杂需求的反应进行批判性分析。研究结果将为土著理论提供依据，对于制定新的政策和实践，以帮助保护和促进土著人民的福祉至关重要。
