From Wikipedia: Indigenous Australians commit crimes and are imprisoned at a disproportionately high rate in Australia. According to one source, there is “gross overrepresentation of Indigenous offenders at all stages of the criminal justice system”.[1] The 2006 census documented that there are 455,031 Indigenous people, who are either Australian Aborigines or Torres Strait Islanders, in Australia, accounting for 2.3 percent of the population.
Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that Indigenous Australians account for around 25% of Australia’s prison population.
