This is the second in The Fraser Institute series on
crime in Canada. The purpose of this primer is to describe the
kinds of crime to which Canadians are exposed, who is at risk for
those crimes, who commits them, some of the costs the victims
face, and some of the expenditures we make to prevent crime. To
understand what changes we may want to make in our criminal
justice system, it is important to see the overall patterns of
crime and punishment, how they have evolved and what they have
cost.
