520 _a In 2008, the then Department of Corrective Services (DCS) conducted the latest ‘Profile of Women in Prison’ survey. That project provided a profile of women in WA prisons, based on quantitative information from the DCS ‘Total Offender Management System’ (TOMS) and qualitative semi-structured interviews with a representative sample of 64 women prisoners. Given the significant and ongoing increase of this subgroup since the original dataset, we were invited by the WA Office of Crime Statistics and Research (WACSAR) of the Department of Justice to repeat the Profile of Women in Prison research. The main aim of this project is to find if and how the profile of women in prison has changed, and what the drivers are of the increase in their numbers, to inform future practices and policies.
