Funded Activity Summary

Investigation of factors that render Indigenous communities in NSW less prone to crime. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are over-represented at all stages of the criminal justice system, with significant negative ramifications for the health and well-being of Indigenous families and communities. This study seeks to better understand the dynamics of communities experiencing higher and lower crime rates, and factors that might assist in not only lowering crime rates in Indigenous communities, but in improving health and well-being more generally. Enabling Indigenous individuals, families and communities to be able to participate and make choices that lead to healthy, productive and fulfilling lives will undoubtedly also contribute to Australian society as a whole.
