Despite this, little is known about the epidemiology of violence-related death (VRD) after release from prison. This knowledge is essential for developing targeted, evidence-informed violence prevention strategies. We examined VRDs among a representative sample of people released from prisons in Queensland, Australia, by sex and Indigenous status. Correctional records for all people (aged \u226517 years) released from prisons from January 1994 until December 2007 ( N = 41,970) were linked probabilistically with the National Death Index. The primary outcome was VRD following release from prison. We calculated crude mortality rates (CMRs) and standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) standardized by age and sex to the Australian population. We used Cox regression to identify predictors of VRD. Of 2,158 deaths after release from prison, 3% ( n = 68) were violence-related. The SMR for VRD was 10.0 (95% confidence interval (CI): [7.9, 12.7]) and was greatest for women (SMR = 16.3, 95% CI: [8.2, 32.7]). The rate of VRD was 2.5 deaths per 10,000 person-years (95% CI: [2.0, 3.2]) and was highest between 2 and 6 months after release from prison (CMR = 6.3, 95% CI: [3.4, 11.6]). Risk factors for VRD included short sentences (&lt;90 days; for males and non-Indigenous people) and experiencing two or more imprisonments (for non-Indigenous people). No significant risk factors for VRD were identified for women or Indigenous people. People released from prison die from violence at a rate that is greatly elevated compared with the general population, with women experiencing the greatest elevation in risk. Reducing the number of VRDs in this population could improve the health and wellbeing of some of our most marginalized community members.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260520905546","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,14]],"date-time":"2020-02-14T00:58:31Z","timestamp":1581641911000},"page":"NP13229-NP13253","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Violence-Related Deaths Among People Released From Prison: A Data Linkage Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4360-2605","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melissa","family":"Willoughby","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia"},{"name":"Murdoch Children\u2019s Research Institute, Parkville, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew J.","family":"Spittal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rohan","family":"Borschmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia"},{"name":"Murdoch Children\u2019s Research Institute, Parkville, Victoria, Australia"},{"name":"King\u2019s College London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Holly","family":"Tibble","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia"},{"name":"The University of Edinburgh, Scotland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stuart A.","family":"Kinner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia"},{"name":"Murdoch Children\u2019s Research Institute, Parkville, Victoria, Australia"},{"name":"The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia"},{"name":"Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia"},{"name":"The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0886260520905546","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Anthony T.
