| dc.description.notes | General Overview:This review of the Australian literature on the subject surveys the offending patterns of Indigenous women. The author contends that Indigenous women are between nine and 16 times more likely to offend than non-Indigenous Australian women. The over-policing of Indigenous women and communities is considered as a plausible explanation for this high offence rate.<br/ ><br/ >The review article presents data obtained from police, prison and court sources which covers the areas of prisoner age, number, imprisonment rate and sentence length. The report finds that the rate of Indigenous female imprisonment rose 10 percent between 2006-2009. Further, Indigenous women usually serve shorter sentences than non-Indigenous incarcerated women suggesting that Indigenous women are imprisoned for minor offences. However, in terms of serious offences, Indigenous women were more likely to be imprisoned for acts intended to cause injury than non-Indigenous women. The report suggests that this may be in response to the high levels of domestic and family violence Indigenous women experience.<br/ ><br/ >The characteristics of female Indigenous prisoners are also considered and it is noted that Indigenous women are more likely to suffer mental illnesses, are more likely to be imprisoned younger and more likely to have been previously incarcerated. | en |
