Overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in the Canadian criminal justice system : causes and responses / Scott Clark.: J4-99/2019E-PDF
"This literature review addresses the overrepresentation of Indigenous people in the Canadian criminal justice system. It examines the extent of overrepresentation, its underlying causes, and some initiatives taken to address the issue. The report also identifies gaps in the efforts to address overrepresentation and suggests potential ways to mitigate the problem. Understanding overrepresentation along these lines should provide policy makers and program managers with useful information to assist in their work"--Executive summary, page 1.
