Health, Time and Doing Time: Potential Impacts of the Safe Streets and Communities Act (Former Bill C-10) on the Health and Well-being of Aboriginal People in BC

Alternate Title

Office of the Provincial Health Officer Special Report

Looks at the interrelationships between social determinants of health, risk and protection factors and the multi-generational impact of residential school experiences and argues that the Bill will worsen the over-representation of Aboriginal peoples in the correctional facilities. Concludes with nine recommendations which focus on relationships, crime prevention and diversion, and monitoring and evaluation.
