The December issue of Juristat contains four articles.
"The changing profile of adults in custody" describes recent changes in the characteristics of adults admitted to custody, with a focus on the changing proportions who are women or Aboriginal.
The second article, "Motor vehicle theft in Canada, 2007" examines both long- and short-term trends in police-reported motor vehicle theft.
"Private security and public policing" compares the roles and responsibilities of private security personnel and public police officers in Canada, and presents employment profiles of both groups.
The final article, "An international perspective on criminal victimization," compares Canada's victimization rates, how often Canadians report being victimized to the police and Canadians' satisfaction with the work of police with survey results from other countries.
