This project aims to evaluate the usefulness of violence risk instruments for Australian Indigenous and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse individuals who have contact with the justice system. Violence risk assessment is undertaken to estimate an individual’s risk for future violence. Instruments are widely used in Australian medico-legal and correctional settings to inform sentencing, treatment planning and offender management strategies. However their predictive validity and utility for Australians from diverse cultural backgrounds is unclear. An analysis of both existing assessment and new qualitative data is expected to produce findings that can contribute to improved violence risk assessment and the enhanced prevention and management of violence.

该项目旨在评估暴力风险工具对与司法系统有联系的澳大利亚土著和文化及语言多样性个人的有用性。进行暴力风险评估是为了估计个人未来遭受暴力的风险。在澳大利亚的法医和惩教机构中，各种文书被广泛用于为判刑、治疗规划和罪犯管理战略提供信息。然而，他们的预测有效性和实用性的澳大利亚人从不同的文化背景是不清楚的。对现有评估和新的定性数据进行分析，预计将得出有助于改进暴力风险评估和加强暴力预防和管理的结论。
