Objective(s): To complete this study, initiated in 1990, which has the following objectives: to determine the rates of crime and the patterns of criminality in the Baffin Region; to record the perceptions of Inuit political leaders and community residents as to the nature and extent of crime in communities; to record perceptions of the efficacy and relevance of current arrangements for justice delivery; to assess the potential for developing alternative, community-based programs and services that might better address the needs of crime victims, offenders and communities. Justice personnel will be interviewed during this data collection exercise.
