Résumé
"The Aboriginal Justice Strategy (AJS) is intended to provide timely and effective alternatives to
the mainstream justice system in appropriate circumstances, in order to increase the involvement
of Aboriginal communities in the local administration of justice and to decrease rates of crime,
victimization and incarceration of Aboriginal persons in communities with AJS-funded
programs. The AJS pursues four core objectives:
to contribute to decreasing the rates of crime and victimization in Aboriginal communities
operating AJS programs;
to assist Aboriginal communities to take greater responsibility for justice administration;
to provide better and more timely information about community justice programs funded by
the AJS; and to reflect and include relevant Aboriginal cultural values in Canadian justice administration.
The evaluation of the AJS was conducted between 2010 and 2011. In accordance with the
Treasury Board Policy on Evaluation, the evaluation addresses the core issues of the relevance
and performance of the AJS."--Page i.
