Abstract：
There is an over-representation of Aboriginal/Indigenous people in the criminal justice systems of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, with offences committed by male and female Aboriginal prisoners predominantly involving physical violence against a person. Risk assessment tools used have not been developed for Aboriginal people, and validations have produced varied results. The current study focused on violent offenders and investigated the differences between four demographic groups - Aboriginal females (AF), non-Aboriginal females (NAF), Aboriginal males (AM) and non-Aboriginal males (NAM) - on the Level of Service/Risk, Need, Responsivity (LS/RNR) and Violence Risk Scale (VRS; including Screening Version, VRS-SV). Significant differences were evident between all groups; however, there were limited differences between AF and NAF with differences on the VRS-SV primarily due to static factors. Aboriginality did not appear to elevate risk for violent females. The limitations of the study are discussed plus the recommendations for future research.
摘要：
在澳大利亚的刑事司法系统中，土著/土著人民的人数过多，加拿大,新西兰和美国,男女土著囚犯犯下的罪行主要涉及对一个人的身体暴力。尚未为原住民开发使用的风险评估工具，和验证产生了不同的结果。当前的研究重点是暴力罪犯，并调查了四个人口群体之间的差异-土著女性（AF），非土著女性（NAF），土著男性(AM)和非土著男性(NAM)-服务/风险水平，需要,响应度(LS/RNR)和暴力风险量表(VRS；包括筛查版本，VRS-SV）。所有组之间存在明显差异；然而，AF和NAF之间的差异有限，VRS-SV的差异主要是由于静态因素。原住民似乎并未增加暴力女性的风险。讨论了该研究的局限性以及对未来研究的建议。
