Description

This project completed by the NSW Law And Justice Foundation aims to support service planning for the Aboriginal Legal Service (NSW/ACT) Ltd (ALS) by sourcing and analysing relevant data and devising a proxy indicator for demand for legal assistance in criminal courts settings. The study used criminal courts statistics on finalisations with Aboriginal defendants to analyse and map the distribution of potential demand for services across all court locations in NSW.
