The Canadian criminal justice system needs to uphold the distinct cultures of the Aboriginals to promote self-administration in the department.

This journal gives details about the inconveniences that contribute to the overrepresentation of the indigenous youths in the Canadian justice system, with the uncertainty associated with the disadvantages and susceptibilities of the Aboriginal youths. The country’s policies based on colonization and social issues such as addiction are additional factors that play a crucial role in disconnecting the unfortunate adolescents from the other society members residing within the Canadian boundaries (Cesaroni et al., 2019). Thus, the arguments by the authors tend to give additional facts regarding the factors that contribute to the undesirable overrepresentation of young adults in the justice system, making the piece relevant.

The authors of this journal acknowledge the perceived aim of the First Nations Policing Program (FNPP) in promoting self-administration for the Canadians’ indigenous policing and the roles of each key player entrusted. Unfortunately, just like other initiatives implemented in society, the program suffered from a lack of funding, among other undesirable factors making it impossible for the indigenous law enforcers to achieve their success (Kiedrowski et al., 2017). Thus, this detailed but precise piece will enlighten scholars and other audiences about the factors undermining the success of the FNPP and other policing approaches aimed to facilitate self-administration in law enforcement.

The details included in this scholarly journal focus on educating educationists about the relationship between crime and race in Canada, particularly among the indigenous people residing within the country’s boundaries (Reasons et al., 2016). The Canadian justice system fails to collect data about the diverse race, arguing that the procedure will threaten the unique and celebrate multicultural mosaic enjoyed by the residents living in the American nation. Therefore, the publishers of this document focused on illustrating the complex relationship between crime and race despite the understanding that several other determinants influence crime rates in various global countries such as Canada.

This newspaper article is about Keira Prince’s case that saw her raise her newborn daughter after a social worker had threatened to separate them since she was facing trial on a break-and-enter-charge in 2017. Interestingly, Stefanovich (2021) indicated that B.C. First Nations Justice cited Prince’s case as a reference for approaches for the legal practitioners on how to handle lawsuits involving indigenous defendants. Although the information included in this newspaper article is on a specific case, Prince’s experiences match that of the other Aboriginals that come into contact with the region’s criminal justice department, hence their overrepresentation. Notably, the author claims that the legal team considered this case a reference to help reduce the undesirable overrepresentation of the Aboriginals in the prisons and other rehabilitation sectors.
