This is a summary article of a monography which analyses Indigenous contact with the Victoria Police in the period 1993/94 to 1996/97. It provides details of Indigenous and non Indigenous alleged offenders processed (across all crime categories), methods of processing, rates of arrest, data on drunkenness offences, and over representation ratios for arrests. The key findings are that there has been a 21 per cent increase in the number of Indigenous alleged offenders processed between 1993/94 and 1996/97; that Indigenous juvenile offenders experienced almost twice the level of arrest experienced by non Indigenous juveniles; that Indigenous people were five times more likely to be arrested for an offence than non Indigenous people in the period of review; and that arrests of Indigenous peoples for charges related to drunkenness rose by 24 per cent in the period of review. The monograph concludes that the primary conditions which lay at the heart of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody investigations are still in place in Victoria.
