Language matters!
The University of Toronto's Criminological Highlights Vol 20 No 6 (2023) also suggests "returning citizen" as a palatable, inclusive term that might foster greater support in our #communities. https://t.co/FTB13MSKyF

[Public Safety Canada @Safety_Canada]

Help reduce the stigma for individuals with a criminal record by using people-first language that focuses on the person, not their actions. Try “person who is reintegrating”, “person who experienced incarceration” or “person with a criminal record”.

[Sécurité publique @Securite_Canada]

Contribuez à réduire la stigmatisation pour les gens ayant un casier judiciaire en utilisant un langage centré sur la personne et non sur ses actions. Dites « personne qui réintègre la société », « personne ayant vécu l’incarcération » ou « personne ayant un casier judiciaire ».

A true loss for Canada.

Delighted to be working with so many people and groups who agree that @CanadianPM @MarcMillerVM @DLeblancNB @Canada @CSC_SCC_en must find #alternatives to federal #immigrationdetention. Reliance on #penitentiaries violates #humanrights and UN standards. #cdnpoli #WelcomeToCanada

Is this the post-Covid 'new normal'? "Over the fiscal year 2022 to 2023, it said more than 9,100 violent incidents had been reported. That represents a more than 45 per cent increase from the same period the year prior." Requires independent assessment https://t.co/0NGSSGizh9

Budget24: Under Additional Investments-Safer, Healthier Communities, $377M is being provided to CSC over 24/25 to 28/29 to 'stabilize core operations'. What is the %age breakdown for the funds between security and programs; and between institutional and community corrections?
