Description

Alberta Justice and Attorney General and Alberta Solicitor General and Public Security initiated a joint research project to gather information about the incidences of "against the administration of justice offences" (AAJO) and how they are processed, and to identify risk and protective factors as they relate to Aboriginal offenders. To provide background for this project Alberta Solicitor General and Public Security completed an analysis of the Corrections Offender Management Information System (CoMIS) and the Alberta Community Offender Management system (ACOM) to look at the types of charges of adults and youth who are released from custody. This summary provides an overview of the main findings of the analysis. All statistics were analyzed for the period 2003/2004 to 2008/2009.
