Journey to Justice
Hi Everyone,
This report was brought to my attention by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. It's an anecdotal discussion around child victims in the Canadian criminal justice system, focusing on individuals dealing with child victims in the North. I was hoping to use this report as a launching pad for a discussion on children in the criminal justice system, including child offenders and child victims (though in crime everyone's a victim!).
I'm further interested in the effect, if any, that the Aboriginal sentencing provision (Criminal Code s. 718.2(e)) have had on children offenders and child victims (Criminal Code s. 718.01). I've read a number of papers highly critical of the court's treatment of adult Aboriginal offenders but nothing on children.
What do you think?

Hi Dana -- Thanks for starting this discussion. Did you see this summary from the group focusing on child welfare in Aboriginal communities:

Hi Jon,
Thanks for reminding me about this. I was the one holding the video but sometimes what you're watching doesn't register in your brain!
It's curious that in "Journey to Justice" the authors emphasize that there's no one northern perspective and different solutions need to reflect the diversity of the communities.
