Preventative Programming
From: Reconciliation and Indigenous Justice
$1.70
Chapter 7 argues for increases in Preventative Programming in Indigenous communities which allocate more resources toward improving social conditions in Indigenous communities and away from incarceration. The idea is that by addressing the social conditions that encourage Indigenous persons to become prosecuted under Canadian law, the need to incarcerate Indigenous persons would be minimized. There are at least two justifications for such an approach: One relies on pragmatic appeal to pursue long-term savings by lessening reliance on incarceration; the other is a substantive demand for social reparation. Topics discussed in this chapter are Justice Reinvestment and Long-Term Savings, Preventative Programming as Social Reparation, and Indigenous-Specific Preventative Programming.
