An inter-disciplinary analysis of the dynamics of Aboriginal interactions with the criminal justice system

土著澳大利亚人在监狱中的代表人数过多仍然是一个严重问题，在皇家委员会调查拘留期间土著死亡事件十多年后。很少有严谨的研究确定与土著与刑事司法系统互动有关的动态因素。该项目将确定该系统内的土著道路，以便提醒政策制定者注意在犯罪生涯的关键时刻可能采取的干预措施。它将使用动态统计模型来确定重要的社会经济和地理因素。定性数据将有助于更深入地了解土著逮捕和监禁率高的原因所在的过程。

The over-representation of Indigenous Australians in prison continues to be a serious problem, more than a decade after the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. There are few rigorous studies identifying the dynamic factors associated with Indigenous interaction with the criminal justice system. This project will identify the Indigenous pathways within the system, in order to alert policy-makers to potential interventions at crucial junctures of criminal careers. It will use dynamic statistical models to identify important socioeconomic and geographic factors. Qualitative data will facilitate a deeper understanding of processes underlying the high rates of Indigenous arrest and imprisonment.
