What is the criminal rate for the Aboriginal people?
Rate of adults charged by police

In 2022-23, across the three jurisdictions with available data, the rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults charged by police at least once in the previous 12 months ranged from 5,160.1 per 100,000 adults in the population to 7,733.4 per 100,000.

What percentage of aboriginals are in jail in Australia?
First Nations people make up a small proportion (3.8%) of the Australian population. Yet they are over-represented in Australia's prison system, making up 32% of the total prison population, and are incarcerated at much higher rates than non-Indigenous Australians (ABS 2023a, ABS 2023b)

"Indigenous incarceration rates in Australia's most populous state are getting worse, as new data raises questions about the number of people behind bars without being convicted.

The NSW prison population has been trending upwards following a sharp decline linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indigenous prisoners made up almost a third of the custodial population in data released by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research on Wednesday.

They accounted for 4244 of the 13,103 adults in the state's prisons in March.

The total prisoner population is the highest since 2020, approaching record highs.

But the number of Aboriginal people in custody is already at record highs, while the state government is trying to reduce the rate of Indigenous incarceration by at least 15 per cent by 2031.

The rate has increased since the target was set, exceeding 2188 per 100,000 people in December data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

BOCSAR executive director Jackie Fitzgerald told AAP the state has never had this many Indigenous people in custody before.

"The prison population trends for Aboriginal people are quite different to non-Aboriginal people," she said.

Indigenous inmates increased by 18.9 per cent since March 2020, while non-Indigenous inmates decreased 12.5 per cent.

Of Indigenous inmates in custody, 45 per cent were on remand, almost 2000 people.

"Those people aren't yet convicted of a crime, and many of them, even when convicted, won't be considered for a custodial penalty," Ms Fitzgerald said.

Attorney-General Michael Daley pointed to laws making it harder for people accused of serious domestic violence offences to be granted bail in June 2024.

These reversed the presumption of bail, requiring accused people to show why they should not be remanded rather than prosecutors arguing why they should be denied bail.

The changes were appropriate given unacceptable levels of domestic violence.

"Our tough new bail laws are necessary, and they are working," Mr Daley said.

But the prisoner population increase began to rise in earnest in November 2023.

"We've definitely had an increase in remand, and that precedes those legislative changes," Ms Fitzgerald said.

"The change commenced prior to the legislative reform."

Criminologist Eileen Baldry told AAP remand rates are increasing at a concerning level."

Homicide:
Indigenous women have experienced homicide victimisation rates up to seven times the national average, with 476 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women being the victim of homicide between 1989 and 2023, according to the Australian Institute of Criminology. 700%

Hospitalization for Assault:
First Nations people are 15 times more likely to be hospitalized for assault compared to non-Indigenous Australians. 1,500%

Domestic Violence:
A significant portion of incidents involving Indigenous people, including homicides, occur within the family environment, often involving intimate partner violence, according to the Australian Institute of Criminology.

“ NSW taxpayers spent $222 million on measures to close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians but less than half led to tangible outcomes for First Nations people, a damning audit has found.

The report, released on Thursday by NSW Auditor-General Bola Oyetunji, found the premier’s department had inadequate oversight and a “passive approach” to monitoring how state funding for Closing the Gap measures were being spent.”
