I am going to be working on this article and adding more information based on information about the relationship of race and crime in Canada. <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime/ref>

Canada

Data shows that members from black and Aboriginal communities are amongst the highest in both criminal victimization and as criminal offenders. Since there is an official ban by the Canadian government on releasing statistics on race-based crime, the limited research shows that members from both black and Aboriginal communities are over-represented in the federal and provincial institutions. Statistics taken in 2011 show that the Aboriginal population represents 3.8 percent of the Canadian population, however, they represent one fifth of offenders under federal supervision (361 per 100,000). Similarly black Canadians represent 2.5 percent of the Canadian population but represent one tenth of offenders under federal supervision (246 per 100,000). On the other hand, South Asians are the lowest of incarceration rates (18 per 100,000) followed by Asians (32 per 100,000) and finally whites (59 per 100,000). Provincial and territorial correctional institutions show similar results with those coming from black and Aboriginal communities being the highest being undertaken by correctional facilities. Using the correctional information provided it can be seen that both Aboriginal and black communities are amongst the highest of having criminal involvement and being victims of crime. For example in Toronto, homicide victimization rates amongst black communities were 10.1 per 100,000 between 1992-2003. National crime data collected in 2006 revealed that Aboriginals homicide victimization rate was 7-8 times greater than those of non-Aboriginals. There have been mixed results on crime reporting amongst minority groups. [[1]
