Description
Using data for Montreal on Aboriginal peoples' interaction with criminal justice system explores two central hypotheses: high rates of offending and recidivism/reoffending are related to over-reliance on use imprisonment compounded by lack of appropriate services and programing; and lack of targeted prevention approach which takes into account that more Aboriginal people fall into socioeconomic group most vulnerable to involvement in the system.
