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. crimhighlights.ca/criminolog…
#Stigma #Reintegration #PeopleFirst
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”.

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 ».

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 castanet.net/news/BC/482763/…

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?

Kudos to federal government for investment in housing in #Budget2024 Investing in preventing post-custody homelessness is also an investment in community safety. Housing is a key pillar in Federal Framework to Reduce Recidivism #FFRR Let's make this happen

Advocates fought to ban incarcerating people in provincial jail on “immigration hold” who have committed no crimes and are simply there for administrative reasons. Instead of not incarcerating them, the government is planning on federal prison instead cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/fe…
Each day this #NationalVolunteerWeek we will recognize the people and groups that have given their time and energy to support our work this past year. We're so grateful, today and every day.
