Notes:	This paper uses multivariate analyses to explore the intersection between Indigenous status, context of violence (domestic vs. nondomestic) and the imprisonment sentencing decision. Results suggest that when sentenced under comparable circumstances, Indigenous domestic violence perpetrators are as likely as those convicted of other non-family violent crimes to be sentenced to prison. In contrast, non-Indigenous domestic violence offenders are significantly less likely than those convicted of non-family related violent offences to be sentenced to prison. Possible explanations for this finding are explored. [abstract paraphrased from Sage reference : http://anj.sagepub.com/content/early/2014/11/17/0004865814554306.abstract]
