This area includes contact with the criminal justice system, all forms of incarceration (including forensic mental health), and family law and custody disputes. People who come into contact with the criminal justice system die by suicide at a higher rate than the general population, and this difference is higher for Indigenous Australians. Many who come into contact with the criminal justice system also experience chronic instability, abuse, neglect, and entrenched, intergenerational disadvantage, all of which can increase one's risk of dying by suicide.
