alcohol problems (t (1023) = 7.23, p < .001) according to scores from the OIA, but this difference is much greater when we look at their CASA assessed alcohol dependence scores (t (1161) = 5.89, p < .001). 1 Aboriginal offenders are five times more likely to be categorized as severely dependent on alcohol as non-Aboriginal offenders according to the results of the ADS. It should be noted that the profile of offenders entering CSC on new sentences in reception centres may differ significantly on important characteristics from those who are in custody in the institutions. Offenders with longer sentences and offenders who have returned to custody on new charges tend to have higher risk and need levels than those with shorter sentences or those who are coming into reception on a new offence. These differences are highlighted in Table 4. As the numbers of longer term offenders accumulate in the prison population relative to those with shorter sentences, the rates of needs in domains related to substance abuse and personal emotional problems increase. For example, during the time period that the CoMHISS was piloted, rates of current mental health problems as assessed by an item on the OIA were 33% greater for male offenders in custody than for those coming into reception on new sentences. 1 CASA uses objective assessment with standardised tools while the OIA is completed by a parole officer and is related to how criminal behaviour is affected by substance abuse. 16
