Indigenous Justice in Australia

Statistics

Note: Rates involving Indigenous persons from 2001 onwards have been updated with new population estimates based on the 2001 census. This has affected current data trends with a slight readjustment in the population trend line occurring in 2001. For further information, please refer to the Australian Institute of Criminology policy on calculating Indigenous rates.
