Crime reported by police serving areas where the majority of the population is Indigenous, 2018 / by Mary Allen.: CS85-002/40-13E-PDF
"Building on previous studies that looked at crime in regions with relatively large Indigenous populations, this Juristat uses data from the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR) to examine the nature and extent of crime reported in 2018 by 182 police services or detachments that were identified in this study as serving populations where over half the residents were Indigenous. For most of these police services, 75% or more of the population they served were Indigenous, that is, they identified as First Nations people, Métis or Inuit in the 2016 Census of Population, or lived on reserve. The focus of this article is to identify those offences which account for much of the difference between rates of crime when compared with police serving predominantly non-Indigenous populations. In addition, the article presents information on the socioeconomic conditions of these communities as well as contextual information on other challenges faced by Indigenous peoples in Canada which may help in interpreting the crime experienced in these communities"--Page 4.
