Hello, ertaisilverwolf-ga!
I have been working on this most of the day and have only come up
with a limited list of references. The question remained unlocked by
other researchers here as well, which gives a bit of insight into the
difficulty of such a narrow search. The fact that you need journal
articles as opposed to thesis papers, statistical reports, etc, made
this search especially hard. I am hoping the references below will be
satisfactory, but your parameters really narrowed the field of returns
substantially! I had to open them up a bit to uncover the references
on this list. Many of the links are peer-reviewed reports as opposed
to journal articles, but I hope they will work for you. Feel free to
change the citations to your liking. Since you mentioned that you have
access to a journal database, I have no doubt you will find the
references that are abstracts or summaries only.

LaPrairie, Carol. Aboriginal Over-Representation in the Criminal
Justice System: A Tale of Nine Cities. Canadian Journal of Criminology
Volume:44 Issue:2 April 2002 pp181 to 208
http://www.ncjrs.gov/app/publications/Abstract.aspx?id=194454
"The paper examines a number of theoretical concepts such as social
disorganization, social learning theory, and posits others to
understand the urban reality for aboriginal populations and, from
that, regional variation in over-representation. It also analyzes
socioeconomic and criminal justice data from the nine cities chosen
for analysis, and compares aboriginal and non-aboriginal population
characteristics of the cities. The paper focuses primarily on the
contribution large urban areas make to the over-representation
phenomenon, and suggests that it is critical to explore the genesis of
urban disadvantage, particularly for populations migrating from
reserves. The central issue is the concentration of poor, single
parent, and poorly educated aboriginal people in the inner core of
large cities. Collective efficacy and social capital theories would
suggest that it is social and economic organization and related
structures of advantage or disadvantage that affect people's lives and
influence crime and disorder. These factors also influence who stays
and who leaves reserves, and who fails and who succeeds in cities."
