Information and advice for First Nations in Quebec

The rate of criminalization for persons domiciled in Quebec was 3%, whereas it was 15% for persons domiciled in First Nations communities.* 

Administration of justice offences are six times higher in Indigenous communities.** For instance, an individual commits an administration of justice offence when they fail to comply with court-ordered conditions, such as probation conditions.
