Indigenous Community Courts and Law and Justice Groups in the Northern Territory have channelled Indigenous perspectives into the sentencing process. They fashion a two-way form of justice in which Indigenous and mainstream notions of justice can meet. Indigenous community input promotes substantive equality by informing the court of factors relevant to the experiences of Indigenous defendants, advising the court on community-based sentencing options, and enabling defendants to more fully understand the ramifications of their offending. In the formal courts, lawyers filter the community context of the Indigenous defendant and the defendant is disconnected from the community's response to his or her offending. This prevents Indigenous defendants from having their unique community circumstances understood and properly accounted for in sentencing.
