Abstract:
This article explores the over-representation of Indigenous people in suicide statistics internationally as indicative of the broader impacts of colonialism. The purpose of this discussion in a special issue of critical criminology is to widen the focus beyond criminal justice over-representation and to explore the ways in which research, social policy, and legal institutions align to transform systematically the colonial condition into a medical one. This transformation occurs in three ways. First, a lower evidentiary standard of proof for suicide determination by coroners when the victim is Indigenous is based on a coronial supposition that Indigenous people cannot produce a workable response to their disadvantage. Suicide is then interpreted as an understandable response, if not a reasonable one. Second, a focus by suicide researchers on individual risk factors is treated by coroners as an indication of vulnerability to suicide. Third, a paternalistic approach to Indigenous people and communities in social policy. Based on interviews with thirty-two coroners, as well as an exploration of inquests into clusters of Indigenous suicide, we argue that differential treatment of Indigenous people in coronial practice is a contemporary feature of the legal, policy, and social landscape.
