The Interplay Between Prejudice and Punitive Attitudes and its Impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians
Oorala Research Seminar 2022 presented by UNE PhD candidate Caitlin Davey
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians are heavily over-represented in the Criminal Justice System of Australia. Explanations for this are complex and multifactorial. However, very little attention has been paid to the role of prejudice and, in particular, how preconceived perceptions from the wider community may shape and interplay with punitive attitudes towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander offenders.
Leading research indicates that punitive attitudes are associated with racialized perceptions of crime and criminality, among other factors such as; political ideology, media consumption, perception of crime, fear of crime, belief in redeemability, crime causation, institutional distrust and interpersonal trust. Drawing on a representative survey of the Australian public, this paper will examine the relationship between prejudice, lay theories of race, minority threat and punitive attitudes as it relates to a) views on crime causation; b) support for particular measures to deal with offenders; and c) perceptions on offender capacity to rehabilitate and reintegrate. Taken together, the paper aims to fill a gap in the literature by providing an empirical and holistic understanding of the relationship between prejudice and punitiveness.
