“…Cognitively impaired Indigenous offenders are at a greater risk of being rapidly processed into the criminal justice system. Other research has found that Indigenous status and the socio‐economic profile of Indigenous offenders are perhaps stronger predictors of justice system contact than cognitive impairment (Frize et al ; Trofimovs & Dowse ). Young Indigenous offenders have also been found more likely to obtain IQ scores in the ID range compared to young non‐Indigenous offenders in both custodial (Indig et al ) and community settings (Frize et al ).…”

“…The literature also points to the benefits of culture in behavior and the perception of pain. The strong cultural identity with other indigenous prisoners associated violence with the poor perception of social and emotional well-being which, in turn, had associations with cultural, spiritual, physical and/ or social aspects 32,33 . Similarly, researchers reaffirm the inverse relationship between sociocultural engagement and pain, in which positive affect was considered a "painkiller" in the lives of people with chronic pain 34,35 .…”

Objective: to understand the role of cultural engagement in the lives of older adults. Method: an integrative literature review of publications from 2014 and 2019 in English, Portuguese, and Spanish was conducted. The Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, PsycNET®, LILACS, SciELO Citation Index and Science Direct databases were used as sources of information. The descriptors “aged” and the related term “cultural engagement” in the three idioms were used in the search, together with the Boolean operators “AND” or “ OR”. A total of 12 articles that met the inclusion criteria were found. These were categorized based on the theme. No Brazilian studies were found. Results: the panorama found revealed that older adults are more interested in receptive cultural activities, such as going to museums, exhibitions and the theater, as these enrich and add greater social value to their lives. Cultural engagement was associated with a reduction in the incidence of neuropsychiatric disorders (dementia and depression), as well as reducing the incidence of episodes of violence. Participation in cultural activities also constituted a protective factor for cognitive abilities and for the reduction of chronic pain. There is also evidence that associates cultural engagement with a better perception of quality of life and greater well-being, happiness and positive affect, as well as the reduction of negative affect. Conclusion: engaging in cultural activities is a way of understanding and respecting cultural diversity, salvaging social identities, and enjoying and providing experiences of great social value, with beneficial impacts in the lives of older adults.

“…The data are scant during her early teens, but it seems that in her late teens she comes to the attention of police on a number of occasions for ‘absconding’ from OOHC and has contact with the police as a ‘missing person’. This contact as a missing person slowly morphs into contact with the police for low-level offending in the community such as shoplifting, showing the fluidity of ‘care’ and ‘crime’ for Wendy (see similarly Trofimovs and Dowse, 2014: 394).…”

Troubling Law’s Indefinite Detention: Disability, the Carceral Body and Institutional Injustice

Through a case study of the official state representation of the institutional life course of one Indigenous Australian woman who is disabled, I demonstrate that across multiple jurisdictions, legal orders, service systems, material spaces and modes of intervention, law provides for the heightened carceral control of bodies on the basis of their designation as disabled. In being designated as disabled, bodies are positioned as necessarily and legitimately subjected to ongoing, persistent and multifarious control in a way paradigmatic of Foucault’s argument of the policed subject such that the disabled body itself is a carceral site. Moreover, the indefinite detention of disabled Indigenous persons on the basis of their disability builds upon and masks as ‘noncolonial’ settler colonial violence against Indigenous Australians. An analysis of how law orders, constructs and legitimates disabled carceral control troubles current understandings of indefinite detention, illuminates the limited notions of (in)justice that these understandings allow and provides new openings to acknowledging a fuller and more complex range of institutional injustices done to disabled offenders.
