Data Update Three

My Datawrapper chart shows the comparison between that share Aboriginal people living in each province, and the share of Aboriginals currently serving two or more years in the Canadian prison system. This comparison can be shown for all Provinces, by clicking on the down-bar and selecting a specific Province.


As of this moment, I am having a lot of trouble contacting, and getting experts to talk to me; therefore, I do not have any quotes, at this time. My plan is to keep looking for experts, from Universities that may be able to speak to me -- I have a few names I am waiting on them to get back to me. I have also contacted The John Howard Society of Canada, which is a charity focused on "effective, just and humane responses to the causes and consequences of crime."

There have been multiple questions that I have not been able to answer with my data. My data does not include the total number of Aboriginals per Province, and it also does not include the total population per Province -- in  both cases I had to search Statistics Canada for those number, to which I found both.

Another question that my data set cannot answer, is the specific crime each prison has committed. This would be interesting to see, not only what crime was most committed, in general, but also see what crime was committed the most, within different ethnicity.

assignment three: Update two

Lead: 

 25.7 per cent of prisoners currently serving two, or more years, under the Canadian Correctional jurisdiction are of Aboriginal decent.

Expert:

An expert that could be of use to me, is Dr. Glenn Coulthard, who is an assistant professor in First Nations Studies and Political Science at UBC.
