The Relationship between Lenght of Incarceration and Recidivism

There is considerable debate in the literature regarding the link between sentence length and recidivism.  Consistent with a specific deterrence perspective, some research findings support the perspective that longer sentences will deter future re-offending.  In contrast, others have found either no link or criminogenic effects, whereby longer sentences result in more re-offending.

Aboriginal Women: An Overview of the Correctional Process from Admission to Warrant Expiry

Our study was the first to comprehensively examine differences between First Nations and Métis women.  Differences in offending patterns, criminogenic need, and other areas suggest that further consideration of diversity among Aboriginal women – in addition to that between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women – may improve the effectiveness of interventions and correctional management.

Women Offenders, Substance Use, and Behaviour

Although four-in-five women offenders in Canada have substance use problems, little research has focused on the variability in their substance use and its relationship to correctional outcomes. Given that consideration of such variability has been shown to improve treatment success in community samples, a study was undertaken to examine the relationships of both substance use severity and type of user with institutional and post-release behaviour.

A Review of the Women Offender Risk/Need Research: In Search of Gender-Neutral, Women Salient and Women-Specific Risk Factors

Correctional agencies worldwide are adopting women-centered philosophies grounded in the assumption that women are different than their male counterparts. A review of research literature on the topic is important to determine if risk factors identified in the current tools used in the Correctional Service of Canada are relevant to women offenders, or if additional factors should be considered.

Typologies of Sexual Offending of Federally-Sentenced Women: A Validation Study

The current study was conducted to assess the validity of the Descriptive Model of Female Sexual Offending (DMFSO; Gannon, Rose, & Ward, 2008, 2010, 2012) used to classify women sex offenders into one of three typologies. Additionally, the current study assessed the validity of an additional typology (fourth) proposed by Lutfy and Derkzen (2014).

Examination of Gender Diverse Offenders

Gender diverse offenders are a heterogeneous group with high static risk and dynamic need. In accordance with Bill C-16, on December 27, 2017, the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) implemented its interim policy for gender diverse offenders to identify operational practices that may require accommodation for these offenders, particularly regarding the placement of offenders in a federal correctional institution of their gender preference.

A Qualitative Study of Ethnocultural Offender Correctional Experiences: Programs, Services, and Community Connections

Ethnocultural offenders constitute a heterogeneous group united by strong motivations to participate in and benefit from correctional programs and services.. In Canada, research on racialized persons in the correctional system has generally focused on Indigenous offenders. Less is known about the correctional experiences of Ethnocultural offenders (i.e., non-White, non-Indigenous persons who want to preserve their cultural identity and related practices). Black persons make up the largest proportion of Ethnocultural offenders.

Minesing Wetlands Groundwater

As part of a study to characterize the habitat of Canada’s only known population of Hine’s emerald dragonfly (HED), a species listed as endangered since 2011, groundwater was collected and analyzed from the eastern Minesing Wetlands near Barrie, Ontario. The water quality analyses included general chemistry parameters (major anions and cations, nutrients) as well as specialized analyses (water and nitrate isotope ratios, artificial sweeteners, sulfamate, select herbicides). Groundwater samples were collected in the fall of 2010, 2013, 2014 and in the spring and fall of 2015 to 2017 from a network of groundwater wells and piezometers in the wetland and adjacent uplands. Samples from groundwater seeps discharging along the eastern margin of the wetland were collected in May of 2016 and 2017. Information on the methods used and results from this long-term study can be found in the following publications:

Fused LiDAR and Multispectral Data from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Individual Tree Detection in Reclaimed Land Monitoring

We present a comprehensive UAV-based dataset combining LiDAR and multispectral imagery over five certified reclaimed wellsites (each ~100 m × 100 m) near Grande Prairie, Alberta (55° 10′ 15″ N, 118° 47′ 46″ W). Data were acquired on three dates—August 2023, October 2023, and May 2024—using a DJI Zenmuse L1 LiDAR sensor and a MicaSense RedEdge-P multispectral camera. 

The LAZ files include georeferenced, RGB-colored point clouds from the L1 sensor, with per-point reflectance in five spectral bands—blue, green, red, red-edge, and near-infrared—interpolated from the RedEdge-P imagery. Please note that multispectral reflectance is unavailable for Wellsite 442 in May 2024. Each point is manually annotated as vegetation or ground, and we also provide CSV files containing the manually corrected 3D coordinates of individual tree tops.

This dataset supports the development and evaluation of algorithms for individual-tree detection, vegetation filtering, and long-term monitoring of revegetation in post-reclamation landscapes.
