Note 1 Reconviction is defined as any new federal statute conviction (in any province or territory) with an offence date after release from full-time custody or start of an intermittent or community sentence and before the end of the fixed follow-up period (i.e., one, two, or three years). Someone could have more than one type of new conviction, therefore, percentages for the different types of new convictions do not sum to the overarching category of any new conviction. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2 Violent offences are defined as crimes against the person, which include criminal harassment, uttering threats, assault, sexual assault, other sexual offences and offences in relation to sexual services, robbery, attempted murder, and homicide. Return to note 2 referrer Note 3 Indigenous refers to persons who are First Nations people, Métis and/or Inuit. Indigenous identity information is self-reported upon intake to correctional services. This category includes Indigenous persons who also identified with a racialized group (e.g., Black) as the data did not allow for these individuals to be examined separately. Return to note 3 referrer Note 4 Includes South Asian, Latin American, East Asian, Southeast Asian, Arab, West Asian, and racialized group not specified. The concept of racialized groups was measured using the ‘visible minorities' standard. The Employment Equity Act defines visible minorities as “persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour.” As part of ongoing efforts to modernize the national statistical system, the "visible minorities" standard is currently under review, and Statistics Canada has committed to consulting partners, stakeholders and the general public to establish a suitable terminology and classification to describe the population and to meet data needs. Racialized group information is self-reported by persons supervised on intake to correctional services. Return to note 4 referrer Note 5 Includes individuals who identified as neither Indigenous nor with a racialized group. Return to note 5 referrer Note: This table presents data for the 2015/2016 cohort of adults supervised by four provincial correctional programs: Nova Scotia, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. Saskatchewan does not provide data on racialized groups, therefore, the cohort from Saskatchewan was excluded. Additionally, this table excludes individuals whose population group was unknown.
