A Crime Victim's Guide to the Criminal Justice System
For More Information
Provincial and Territorial Victim Services
The federal and the provincial governments fund programs for victims of crime. Some help the victim learn about and take part in the trial process. Other programs may include victim-offender mediation, crisis-intervention services, training and education for justice workers and the general public on victims' issues, facilities for victims and witnesses such as private waiting rooms in court houses, and financial compensation to victims.
For more information about victim services in your area, contact your local police force, check the government blue pages for “victim services” or visit the Victims of Crime section on the Department of Justice Web site at www.canada.justice.gc.ca. The Web site also offers background information and links to legislation and initiatives for crime victims, as well as a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section.
Correctional Service of Canada
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is the federal government agency responsible for administering sentences of a term of two years or more. CSC manages institutions of various security levels and supervises offenders under conditional release in the community. CSC programs and services are delivered through five regions. For more information contact the headquarters in your region or visit their Web site at www.csc-scc.gc.ca.

The National Parole Board
The National Parole Board (NPB) has exclusive authority to grant, deny, cancel, terminate or revoke day parole and full parole for federal offenders. The Board also makes conditional release decisions for offenders in provinces that do not have their own parole boards. ( British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec have their own parole boards with authority to grant releases to offenders serving less than two years in prison.)
The NPB’s national office is located in Ottawa, and there are five regional offices: Atlantic Region ( Moncton, NB), Quebec Region ( Montreal, QC), Ontario Region ( Kingston, ON), Prairie Regions ( Saskatoon, SK) and Pacific Region ( Abbotsford, BC). For more information, contact your regional office or visit their Web site at www.npb-cnlc.gc.ca.
