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…

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
