• W109718056 abstract "This paper examines the similarities and differences between Indigenous and non-Indigenous homicides in Australia during an 11 -year period. The findings suggest that the typical Indigenous homicide in Australia differed from other homicides in important ways. Indigenous homicides were more likely to occur within the family environment, with a high proportion of female involvement (both as victims and offenders). Many of the incidents resulted from some form of domestic altercation. Alcohol was found to play a major role- just over four out of five Indigenous homicides involved either the victim or the offender, or both, drinking at the time of the incident. Knives were the most common weapon of choice, with firearms used in less than six per cent of homicides. Indigenous homicides involving strangers were found to be exceptionally rare. These findings can be used to achieve more informed and sound policy directions in the reduction and prevention of lethal violence for Indigenous Australians. Adam Graycar Director A recent review of the literature on Indigenous violence indicates that: ...although the statistics are imperfect, they are sufficient to demonstrate the disproportionate occurrence of violence in the Indigenous communities of Australia and the traumatic impact on Indigenous people. (Memmott et al. 2001, p. 6) While studies on violence in Indigenous communities are now numerous and multifaceted, little research has examined in any great detail the circumstances and characteristics of the most extreme form of violence - homicide. Apart from the reporting of rates of victimisation and offending at either the State or national level (see Martin 1993; James & Carcach 1997; Mouzos 1999, 200O5 2001), there has been no systematic examination of Indigenous homicide despite previous studies suggesting a need for special analysis of this type (James & Carcach 1997). Comparative research is important in order to identify areas of divergence and convergence with non-Indigenous patterns and trends of homicide in Australia. This paper attempts to bridge the gap in knowledge by undertaking a comparative analysis of Indigenous and non-Indigenous homicides in Australia. Data Sources This paper discusses the most salient features of Indigenous and non-Indigenous homicides using data held as part of the National Homicide Monitoring Program (NHMP) at the Australian Institute of Criminology. Established in 1990, this program routinely collects data on some 77 variables relating to each incident of homicide coming to police attention in Australia, including data relating to the victim and the offender (where one has been identified). These data come from police and coronial records across Australia, and are supplemented where necessary with information provided directly by police in specific homicide investigations. A total of 3,450 homicide incidents were recorded for the period 1 July 1989 to 30 June 2000, involving 3,723 victims and 3,783 offenders (where one has been identified by police). During this 1 1-year period, Indigenous persons accounted for: * 15.1 per cent of all homicide victims (where the victim's race was recorded - in 2.9% of cases the victim's race was unknown); and * 15.7 per cent of all homicide offenders in Australia (where the offender's race was recorded - in 4.7% of cases the offender's race was unknown). Yet Indigenous Australians account for only about two per cent of the Australian population (ABS 2000). Definitional Issues The most important limitation of the current study is the way in which the race of both the victim and offender is identified and recorded. As previously mentioned, NHMP data are derived from police records, and therefore rely on police to accurately record the race of the victim and offender. In some instances, this is merely a subjective assessment made by police, and may be based solely on the victim's or offender's external appearance. …" @default.
