Forecasting the federal in-custody population / prepared by Larry Motiuk and Ben Vuong.: PS82-4/16-3E-PDF

"Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) conducted a review of its forecasting methodology in 2011 with a view to bring its former projections in line with actual increases and anticipated future growth. Upon systematic review of various offender population forecasting methodologies, CSC’s Transformation and Renewal Team developed a new model during the summer of 2011 and applied it in November 2011 to produce new population forecasts from the end of March 2012 to the year 2018. The following provides a status report on the population forecasting and projection exercise that was undertaken by CSC in November 2011 and incorporated into the CSC Accommodation Plan 2013-18. In addition, CSC’s national population year-end calendar estimates were submitted to an international correctional forecasting contest hosted by Sweden"--Why we did this study.
