Indigenous victims of violent crime
Don Weatherburn (Director, NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research)
CAEPR Seminar Series August 29, 2007 (Streaming audio, MP3)
Abstract: A number of theories have been put forward to explain the high level of violence amongst Australia's Indigenous population. Up until 2002, lack of suitable data on the risk factors associated with Indigenous violent victimisation made it very difficult to assess the adequacy of these theories. In 2002 the Australian Bureau of Statistics conducted a national survey of Indigenous Australians (the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey, or NATSISS). That survey made it possible to examine a range of correlates of Indigenous violent victimisation. Analysis of the NATSISS victimisation data, however, has so far been limited to a few bi-variate comparisons. This seminar presents the results of the first multivariate analysis of risk factors for violent victimisation among Indigenous Australians using the NATSISS. The results provide little support for cultural theories of Indigenous violence but strong support for social disorganisation, social deprivation and lifestyle theories, particularly the latter.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Statistics June 2007
Latest ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 08/06/2007
For further information about these and related statistics, contact Justine Boland on Canberra (02) 6252 5849.
SUMMARY
Building on the sound basis of our existing statistical program, this paper outlines areas where the ABS could extend and enhance the suite of statistics for understanding the circumstances of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our ongoing work program will continue to include activities to understand and improve the quality of population estimates and projections, Indigenous mortality and life expectancy estimates, and measures of Indigenous labour force characteristics. We will continue to conduct a vigorous survey program aimed at producing high quality information on the Indigenous population. Collaborative efforts with other agencies, and national committees and forums, will be directed at promoting the appropriate use of Indigenous statistics, and working together to develop and improve identification in important administrative collections, such as births and deaths, and courts and police systems.
