Résumé
This study examined crime and crime prevention in the context of changing diversity in Alberta. In February 2011, ten focus groups were organized for 70 participants in Calgary, Brooks, Lethbridge, and Red Deer. Multiple stakeholders were involved in these focus groups: ethnocultural community members, law enforcement personnel, and service providers. This study had several limitations. It focused on the perceptions and opinions of ethnocultural community members, law enforcement personnel and service providers. While their viewpoints were important and offered insights into criminality among ethnocultural groups, they might not always capture accurately and free of bias all aspects of the experience of crime-involved ethnocultural community members. The sample size for this study was relatively small, and results should be interpreted with caution.
