Lifting the burden of imprisonment: Creating safer and stronger communities

该项目旨在确定如何降低监禁率，使澳大利亚社区受益，并加强他们的安全和福祉。它将把关于监禁、犯罪和社区福祉的一系列统计数据来源联系起来。我们将首次全面展示监禁对澳大利亚及其他地区的个人和社区的影响。该项目的预期成果包括扩展和创新强制性流动理论，新颖的数据整合，以及评估监禁减少对社区影响的预测工具。这些证据将有助于倡导团体和政策制定者寻求解决澳大利亚迅速增长的监禁率。

This project aims to identify how a reduction in imprisonment rates could benefit Australian communities and enhance their safety and wellbeing. It will link a range of statistical data sources on imprisonment, crime and community wellbeing. We will, for the first time, comprehensively demonstrate the impact of imprisonment on individuals and communities in Australia and beyond. Expected outcomes of this project include expansion and innovation of coercive mobility theory, novel integration of data, and a forecasting tool to assess the impact of imprisonment reduction on communities. This evidence will assist advocacy groups and policy makers seeking to address Australia’s burgeoning imprisonment rate.
