摘要

Abstract

Indigenous over-representation in the criminal justice system is recognised as an ongoing impact of colonialism in modern Australia and an essential social policy issue promoting Indigenous rights. Evidence shows the disadvantages experienced by indigenous community in the justice system is embodied in policing and sentencing. The experience for indigenous women with the criminal justice system also shows that the system is racialised and gendered. Racism and the lack of consideration of structural circumstance of indigenous community also significantly contributes to the over-representation of indigenous offenders

resulting in more serious in Australian society.
