Abstract

Judicial sentencing remarks (JSRs) have been utilised by several researchers, as a publicly available data source, to explore topics such as alcohol and other drug involvement in intimate partner homicide; the use of therapeutic jurisprudence; narratives of mitigation for Aboriginal offenders; and the identification and impact of trauma in the sentencing of homicide offenders (to name a few). There is inconsistency in the existing literature regarding the methodology for identifying offenders as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. Appropriate and correct identification of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the criminal justice system is important because of the distinct differences in how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experience the criminal justice system, including sentencing and punishment. We retrospectively developed a manual algorithm to identify offenders and victims as ‘Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander’, ‘non-Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander’ or ‘Unknown’. This paper provides an overview of the development and the application of the algorithm and discusses the importance of transparency in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identification processes when using JSRs as a data source.

在司法判决中确认土著和托雷斯海峡岛民罪犯和受害者
几位研究人员已经将司法量刑评论(JSR)作为公开的数据来源,来探讨亲密伴侣谋杀中的酒精和其他药物参与等话题;使用治疗法学;土著罪犯减轻处罚的叙述;以及在对杀人罪罪犯判刑时对创伤的识别和影响(仅举几例)。关于将罪犯认定为土著和/或托雷斯海峡岛民的方法,现有文献存在不一致之处。在刑事司法系统中适当和正确地识别土著人和托雷斯海峡岛民是重要的,因为土著人和Torres海峡岛民在刑事司法制度中的经历,包括量刑和惩罚方面存在明显差异。我们回顾性地开发了一种手动算法,将罪犯和受害者识别为“原住民和/或托雷斯海峡岛民”、“非原住民和//或托雷斯群岛岛民”或“未知”。本文概述了该算法的发展和应用,并讨论了使用JSR作为数据源时,原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民身份识别过程中透明度的重要性。
