Indigenous Justice Reports: new narratives and practices in sentencing

该项目采用参与性行动研究模式，评估土著司法报告在刑事判决方面对土著妇女的判决做法和结果的影响。它在维多利亚州Koori法院为土著妇女引入了土著报告，并扩大了在昆士兰州Murri法院的可用性。其比较研究方法确定了基于地点的因素如何影响土著报告对判刑的程序和影响。该项目旨在通过向法院提供报告，说明土著妇女的个人和社区情况，提供相关的量刑选择，并辅之以适当的支持，改善土著被告的量刑程序和结果。

This project engages a participatory action research model to assess the impact of Indigenous Justice Reports in criminal sentencing on sentence practices and outcomes for Indigenous women. It introduces Indigenous Reports for Indigenous women in Victorian Koori Courts and expands their availability in Queensland Murri Courts. Its comparative research approach identifies how place-based factors influence the process and impact of Indigenous Reports on sentencing. This project seeks to improve sentencing processes and outcomes for Indigenous defendants by providing courts with reports that address personal and community circumstances of Indigenous women, provide relevant sentencing options and are accompanied with appropriate supports.
