Psychology Assignment: Impact of Imprisonment on Aboriginal Women

This report delves into the psychology of Aboriginal women and their experiences with imprisonment, focusing on two key articles. The first article examines the over-incarceration of Aboriginal women in Australia, highlighting the rise in female prisoners and the subsequent public health issues. It explores the impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) on this population, including chronic diseases and heart failure, and calls for policy changes, such as redirecting funding from incarceration to community care. The second article is not explicitly detailed in this provided text, but the report's structure suggests it also investigates related issues, possibly concerning working with young people in North Queensland. The report aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by Aboriginal women within the criminal justice system and their overall well-being.
