Earlier this month, Research Co. and Glacier Media studied the views of Canadians on the justice system
Two months ago, only three per cent of Canadians referred to crime and public safety as the most important issue facing the country – a proportion that rose to seven per cent in Saskatchewan and Manitoba and to six per cent in Ontario.
Confidence in the fairness of the justice system is highest among Canadians aged 18 to 34 and drops among their counterparts aged 35 to 54 and aged 55 and over . These events have led to larger discussions about amending the Youth Criminal Justice Act, which governs the application of criminal and correctional law to people who have committed an offence between the ages of 12 and 18.
Another issue that is being entertained as a way to make the justice system work more swiftly is the use of alternative penalties – such as fines, probation or community service – as an option instead of time behind bars.
