    Description
    1. Requirement Summary

    The Government of Canada is committed to addressing the over-representation of Indigenous people in the criminal justice system. With respect to Indigenous community corrections, Public Safety Canada (PS) has implemented the Indigenous Community Corrections Initiative (ICCI). The ICCI supports alternatives to custody and reintegration projects responsive to the unique circumstances of Indigenous people in Canada. Public Safety Canada continues to gather and synthesize national evidence on what works in corrections to help guide policy and program decisions. This information contributes to the overall body of scientific knowledge in the corrections domain.

    As described in more detail in the Objectives section, this project will evaluate what works in Indigenous community corrections. Specifically, it will identify best-practices and gaps in service for Indigenous community corrections in Canada through a literature review and interviews with community-based service providers and clients. This project aims to identify ways in which culturally-relevant services by community-based organizations can improve offender rehabilitation and reintegration in the community. The goals of this project are consistent with the ICCI, which aims to enhance public safety through structured and effective reintegration of offenders back into the community.
