New deaths in custody report released

The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) has released the latest statistical report from the National Deaths in Custody Program (NDICP), Deaths in custody in Australia 2020–21.

Deputy Director of the AIC, Dr Rick Brown said the AIC releases the program reports annually, however this report produces more timely statistics than in previous years, with the publication coming just five months after the end of the reporting period, rather than the usual 18 months.

Applications for the new Indigenous Justice Research Program are now open

Applications are now open for the Indigenous Justice Research Program, a joint initiative between the Australian Institute of Criminology, the National Indigenous Australians Agency and the Indigenous Justice Clearinghouse.
