| Summary: | Circle sentencing is an innovative process aimed at preventing crime - and reducing the scandalous over-representation of indigenous people in the courts and in jails. In NSW, indigenous people represent just two per cent of the general population - but 20 per cent of adult male prison inmates, and even higher percentages of female and juvenile inmates, are Aboriginal. In a normal court, a defendant who pleads guilty need not say a word. He or she might not comprehend what is going on. The arguments and the pleadings are the business of mostly white lawyers and white magistrates. Not so with circle sentencing. |
