Navigating the Carceral Interface

该项目承认土著青年在儿童保护和监禁率中所占比例过高。它的目的是解决土著青年如何体验收容系统的知识差距，并记录土著社区组织如何支持并为建立更安全、更有支持性的社区作出重要贡献，这是“缩小差距”政策框架的目标之一。该项目将建立一个理论模型，以创伤和文化为依据，改善10-24岁的土著青年接触到医疗系统的经验，并将从研究中获得的知识转移回土著社区。

This project acknowledges the overrepresentation of young Indigenous people in child protection and incarceration rates. It aims to address the gap in knowledge of how young Indigenous people experience the carceral system and document how Indigenous community organisations support and provide vital contributions to building safer more supportive communities, which is one of the targets of the Closing the Gap policy framework. This project will develop a theoretical model of a trauma- and culturally-informed response to improving experiences of young Indigenous people between the ages of 10–24 who come into contact with the carceral system, transferring the knowledge gained from the research back to Indigenous communities.
