Reducing crime and improving criminal justice in British Columbia recommendations for change : a discussion paper

This document surveys the state of crime, criminality and criminal justice in British Columbia and provides strategic recommendations with options to make further reductions in provincial crime rates. The report identifies primary causes of crime in British Columbia, and cites primary clusters of problems within the criminal justice system. It calls the provincial government to create an agency or other body to address the core issues and challenges facing the provincial criminal justice system; to address the problem of the illegal trade in drugs in a clear and consistent manner; to examine the collateral effects of the illegal drug trade without further delay; to review the need for strengthened services to address childhood development issues and move quickly to introduce these services; and to review the organization and functions of law enforcement agencies in the province.
