Community corrections in Canada
Abstract
Provincial and territorial governments are responsible for the administration
of community-based correctional services in Canada for adults and youth, which
include, but are not limited to probation, conditional sentences, and temporary
absence programs. Although the Criminal Code of Canada, the Young Offenders
Act and the Youth Criminal Justice Act set out guidelines, jurisdictions are
not obliged to follow them directly. Jurisdictions will differ, sometimes substantially,
in their administration.
This publication provides a descriptive overview of sentences and the delivery
of community correctional services across all jurisdictions in Canada for both
adult and youth. In addition, this publication reports on community corrections
data collected from the special study, as well as data from the Adult Correctional
Services Survey, the Key Indicator Report, the Youth Custody and Community Services
Survey, and the Alternative Measures Survey. It examines admissions and average
counts of adults and youth who were under community supervision, showing trends
as far back as 1993/94. Furthermore, data on offender characteristics, such
as sex and Aboriginal status are also presented.
