Note(s):
The custodial involvement rate is the measure of the proportion of a specific population experiencing custody over a reference period. The measure identifies the number of unique persons spending at least one day in custody during the reference period for a defined population (e.g., Indigenous, Black, white), then calculates the percentage of the population experiencing incarceration. Individuals are counted equally whether they spent one night in custody or the whole year.
