Future contacts with the criminal justice system in Saskatchewan : a microsimulation study / by Yvan Clermont, Youssouf Azmi, Shana Conroy, Lynn Barr-Telford, Jean-Dominique Morency and Laurent Martel. : CS85-002/39-14E-PDF
"The Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics and the Demography Division's microsimulation team at Statistics Canada have collaborated on a pilot study that aims to take advantage of Demosim—a microsimulation model that can project a large number of demographic characteristics of the population—to develop population projections of individuals who come into contact with the criminal justice system (i.e., the police) as persons accused of committing crime in Saskatchewan. The likelihood of coming into contact with police was estimated using a set of demographic characteristics (age, sex, Indigenous identity, visible minority status, place of birth, place of residence, marital status and highest level of education) in the census database that are projected into the future in Demosim. This microsimulation model also allowed for the production of population projections based on hypothetical scenarios. Specifically, how would increasing the educational attainment of certain vulnerable populations—in this case, Indigenous people—affect the number of people who come into contact with the criminal justice system in Saskatchewan as persons accused of crime? … This pilot study is an initial attempt by Statistics Canada to take advantage of the large-scale integration of data from various areas to simulate the impact of different social integration scenarios—for example, in education—on the pressure placed on the criminal justice system. This study does not identify methods for improving the educational attainment of Indigenous people. It only evaluates the possible impacts—including the value of intervention to attain this objective—to reduce the pressure of current conditions on the criminal justice system in Saskatchewan. With these factors in mind, this pilot study has produced a set of innovative and relevant results that are summarized below"--Executive summary, page 3.
