Aboriginal women : profile and changing population / Janelle Beaudette, Madelon Cheverie & Renée Gobeil. : PS83-3/341E-PDF
Aboriginal offenders are over-represented in the Canadian federal correctional system. Aboriginal women represent 28% of women offenders and have been recognized as the fastest growing population in federal corrections. Given rapid changes in the offender population and increasing differences in the rates at which Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal offenders enter the federal correctional system, more information is needed to appropriately address the needs of these groups. The purpose of this study was to support future policy initiatives and decision-making by contributing to a more complete understanding of Aboriginal women offenders’ characteristics. The current study represented a broad overview of changing population patterns over time among First Nations and Métis women. Although the simultaneous examination of changes over time and differences between groups necessitated that only a relatively small number of indicators be examined, results demonstrated that differences between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women offenders continue to be present. The findings from this study will inform future CSC research on Aboriginal women and served as a starting point for a broader examination of First Nations and Métis women’s social histories and correctional experiences.
