Ottawa : Public Safety Canada, c2016. 24 p. Research report ; 2016-R005 Issued also in French under title: La vie difficile de Tyler : l'histoire du parcours d'un jeune homme vers un mode de vie criminel. Cover title. Tables have been revised as per author department. Includes bibliographical references. The fictional account of Tyler was developed to illustrate the compounding influence of risk factors on the pathway to criminal offending. The account does not depict any real persons or events, but serves as an illustrative example of a prototypical adolescent offender in Canada. Using cost estimates from Canada, the US, and Australia, average costs are affixed to events in Tyler’s life and tallied for a grand total cost of his crimes. The direct costs associated with Tyler’s life of crime range from a court appearance by police ($239 CAD) to a 5-year federal prison sentence ($550,000 CAD) and total over $1,400,000 CAD by the time Tyler reaches the age of 30. Three evidence-based interventions are also provided to illustrate the potential cost savings by investing in crime prevention at critical junctures of Tyler’s youth, and to highlight the importance of intervening early and often in the life of disadvantaged or at-risk youth. gccst Crime gccst Justice system Canada.
