[262]    Please note that the ABS prepares two versions of the imprisonment rate. The crude rate refers to the number imprisoned per 100 000. The age-standardised imprisonment rate factors in the age profile of the relevant population. Because younger people tend to offend more, a population with a younger age-profile, such as the Indigenous population, will naturally be overrepresented in imprisonment statistics. The age-standardised statistic corrects for this, allowing for more meaningful comparisons between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations.

[263]    A caveat on ABS prison statistics: The ABS notes that these statistics rely on self-identification by prisoners as Indigenous. Any change in the tendency to self-identify could distort the statistics.
