I: INTRODUCTION
Sentence administration and demographic information on offenders
under federal jurisdiction (those serving sentences of two years or longer) is routinely
collected by the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC). In 1993, the CSC converted from the
Offender Information System (O.I.S.) to the Offender Management System (O.M.S.). The
Service had historically reported offender population statistics through quarterly
publications and monthly snapshots using the Offender Population Profile System.
Therefore, caution should be taken when comparing data derived from O.M.S. to data from
previous years.
This report summarizes data gathered for a second time1
on homicide, sex, robbery and drug offenders in federal corrections. These end-of-1995
numbers reflect the prevalence or the number of offenders who have these types of crimes
under federal jurisdiction. While the total number of offenders with these crimes is
likely to be an underestimate, the statistical profiles generated in this report may be
seen to provide general indicators of the extent and nature of these types of offenders.
More specifically, distributions with respect to security level and release status as well
as region are given. Comparisons are made with end-of-1994 figures to establish trends.
Further, descriptive statistics in relation to gender, age, ethnicity and nature of
offence are also provided.

population excluded the following O.M.S. Offender Current Status Table codes: deceased, on
bail, sentence completed, suspended unlawfully at large, and suspended temporary detained.

Homicide, Sex, Robbery and Drug Offenders in Federal Corrections (Ottawa: Correctional
Service Canada, 1995).
BACKGROUND
In Canada, the crimes classified as homicide include: first degree murder, second degree murder, manslaughter and infanticide.
Deaths caused by criminal negligence, suicide, accidental or justifiable homicide are not included.
Although homicides represent less than 1% of all violent crimes, criminal justice agencies have been collecting homicide
statistics since 1961 to closely monitor the extent and trends of such offenses.
The following is an end-of-1995 review of statistical information available on homicide offenders then under federal jurisdiction.
THE CURRENT SITUATION
Total Homicide Population
- On 31 December 1995, a review of CSC's offender management system yielded a total of 4,318 homicide offenders under federal
jurisdiction and comprise nearly one-fifth (19%) of the total federal offender population.
Incarcerated Homicide Population
- On 31 December 1995, there were 2,784 homicide offenders incarcerated in federal institutions and comprise about one-fifth
(20.5%) of the federal incarcerated population.
- About 852 of these federally incarcerated homicide offenders were in maximum security institutions, 1,568 were
in medium security institutions, and 364 were in minimum security institutions.
More specifically:
- minimum security: 13.1% of all homicide offenders;
- medium security: 56.3% of all homicide offenders; and
- maximum security: 29.7% of all homicide offenders.
Conditional Release Homicide Population
- On 31 December 1995, there were 1,534 homicide offenders on conditional release and comprise 16.7% of the federal
conditional release population.
More specifically:
- 212 or 13.8% were on day parole;
- 1,213 or 79.1% were on full parole; and
- 108 or 7.1% were on statutory release
REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF HOMICIDE OFFENDERS
- Regionally, the Ontario and Quebec regions have the most homicide offenders, each being responsible for
slightly more than one quarter of the homicide offender population, respectively.
- In a comparison of the proportion of homicide offenders in each region with the proportion of general offenders, the Pacific
and Ontario regions have more homicide offenders relative to their proportion of general offenders.
More specifically:
- Atlantic: 6.7% of homicide offenders, and 9.8% of all offenders (proportionately fewer homicide
offenders);
- Quebec: 27.2% of homicide offenders, and 29.2% of all offenders (proportionately fewer homicide
offenders);
- Ontario: 29.7% of homicide offenders, and 27.1% of all offenders (proportionately more homicide
offenders);
- Prairies: 18.6% of homicide offenders, and 20.5% of all offenders (proportionately fewer homicide
offenders); and
- Pacific: 17.8% of homicide offenders, and 13.5% of all offenders (proportionately more homicide
offenders).
HOMICIDE OFFENDER POPULATION TRENDS
- The homicide offender population has declined relative to the total homicide offender population over the past year - particulary
in federal institutions. Over a one-year period (31 December 1994 to 31 December 1995) the total homicide offender population has decreased
by 1.7%, the homicide offender population in institutions has increased by 3.9% and the homicide offender population
under community supervision has increased by 2.5%.
CHARACTERISTICS OF HOMICIDE OFFENDERS
Gender
- On 31 December 1995, a review of CSC's offender management system revealed that the majority of homicide offenders listed
to date are male (96.5%). There were 152 (3.5%) cases of a female offender for whom a homicide offence was
listed.
Age
- On 31 December 1995, the average age of homicide offenders under federal jurisdiction was almost 42 years old.
The oldest homicide offender was 89 years old and the youngest was 20 years old.
- Homicide offenders as a group appear to be aging. The average age of homicide offenders at admission was about 36 years
old. The oldest homicide offender admitted was 84 years old and the youngest was 18 years
old.
Ethnicity
- On 31 December 1995, the majority of homicide offenders (78.3%) were Caucasian.
- In a comparison of the proportion of homicide offenders in each ethnic group with the proportion of general offenders, there
was somewhat of a larger proportion of Native homicide offenders relative to their proportion
of general offenders. More specifically:
- Caucasian: 78.3% of homicide offenders, and 77.0% of all offenders (proportionately more homicide
offenders);
- Native: 13.4% of homicide offenders, and 10.1% of all offenders (proportionately more homicide
offenders);
- Black: 3.2% of homicide offenders, and 6.0% of all offenders (proportionately fewer homicide
offenders);
- Asiatic: 1.3% of homicide offenders, and 2.2% of all offenders (proportionately fewer homicide
offenders); and
- Other: 3.9% of homicide offenders, and 3.9% of all offenders (the same proportion).
Nature of Offence
- Categorizing homicide offenders by actual conviction, one finds the following:
- 642 cases of first degree murder, and 15% of all homicide offenders;
- 2,387 cases of second degree murder, and 55% of all homicide offenders;
- 1,289 cases of manslaughter, and 30% of all homicide offenders; and
- 0 cases of infanticide, and 0.0% of all homicide offenders.
III: SEX OFFENDERS
BACKGROUND
The following is an end-of-1995 review of statistical information available on sex offenders then under federal jurisdiction.
THE CURRENT SITUATION
Total Sex Offender Population
- On 31 December 1995, a review of CSC's offender management system yielded a total of 3,875 sex offenders under federal
jurisdiction and comprise (17%) of the total federal offender population. However, these figures understate the actual number
of sex offenders because current computer systems do not identify all previous convictions for a sex offence (e.g., provincial sentences);
anyone who has committed a sexually-related offence; and anyone who has previously committed a sex offence but was never convicted.
A National Sex Offender Census which was conducted in March 1991, identified all sex offenders. The census found about 85%
of the sex offender population could be accounted for by the computer systems. Therefore, using a correction factor (1.173), it
is estimated that on 31 December 1995 there were actually 4,542 sex offenders under federal jurisdiction. This adjusted number
comprises about 20% of the total federal offender population.
Incarcerated Sex Offender Population
- On 31 December 1995, there were 2,766 sex offenders incarcerated in federal institutions and comprise about one-fifth
(20%) of the federal incarcerated population. Using a correction factor, it is estimated that on 31 December 1995 there
were actually 3,245 sex offenders in federal institutions. This adjusted number comprises 24.0% of the total federal
incarcerated population.
- About 553 of these federally incarcerated sex offenders were in maximum security institutions, 1,876 were
in medium security institutions, and 329 were in minimum security institutions.
More specifically:
- minimum security: 11.9% of all sex offenders;
- medium security: 67.8% of all sex offenders; and
- maximum security: 20.0% of all sex offenders.
Conditional Release Sex Offender Population
- On 31 December 1995, there were 1,109 sex offenders on conditional release and comprise about (12%) of the federal
conditional release population. Using a correction factor, it is estimated that on 31 December 1995 there were actually 1,301 sex
offenders under community supervision. This adjusted number comprises about 14% of the total federal conditional release population.
More specifically:
- 136 or 12.3% were on day parole;
- 423 or 38.1% were on full parole;
- 548 or 49.4% were on statutory release; and
REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF SEX OFFENDERS
- Regionally, the Prairies and Ontario regions have the most sex offenders, each being responsible for roughly one-quarter of
the sex offender population, respectively.
- In a comparison of the proportion of sex offenders in each region with the proportion of general offenders, the Quebec region has fewer sex
offenders relative to their proportion of general offenders.
- More specifically:
- Atlantic: 12.4% of sex offenders, and 9.8% of all offenders (proportionately more sex
offenders);
- Quebec: 19.3% of sex offenders, and 29.2% of all offenders (proportionately fewer sex
offenders);
- Ontario: 24.7% of sex offenders, and 27.1% of all offenders (about the same proportion);
- Prairies: 28.5% of sex offenders, and 20.5% of all offenders (proportionately more sex
offenders); and
- Pacific: 15.1% of sex offenders, and 13.5% of all offenders (proportionately more sex
offenders).
. The sex offender population has continued grow relative to the total sex offender population over the past year - particulary
on conditional release. Over a one-year period (31 December 1994 to 31 December 1995) the total sex offender population has increased
by 3.4%, the sex offender population in institutions has increased by 2.3% and the sex offender population under community
supervision has increased by 6.1%.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SEX OFFENDERS
Gender
- On 31 December 1995, a review of CSC's offender management system revealed that the majority of sex offenders listed to
date are male (99.7%). There were 10 (0.3%) cases of a female offender for whom a sex offence was listed.
Age
- On 31 December 1995, the average age of sex offenders under federal jurisdiction was almost 42 years old. The oldest
sex offender was 85 years old and the youngest was 20 years old.
- Sex offenders as a group appear to be aging. The average age of sex offenders at admission was about 40 years
old. The oldest sex offender admitted was 82 years old and the youngest was 18 years old.
Ethnicity
- On 31 December 1995, the majority of sex offenders (76.0%) were Caucasian.
- In a comparison of the proportion of sex offenders in each ethnic group with the proportion of general offenders, there was
somewhat of a larger proportion of Native sex offenders relative to their proportion of general
offenders. More specifically:
- Caucasian: 76.0% of sex offenders, and 77.0% of all offenders (proportionately fewer sex
offenders);
- Native: 16.5% of sex offenders, and 10.9% of all offenders (proportionately more sex
offenders);
- Black: 4.4% of sex offenders, and 6.0% of all offenders (proportionately fewer sex
offenders);
- Asiatic: 0.5% of sex offenders, and 2.2% of all offenders (proportionately fewer sex
offenders); and
- Other: 2.6% of sex offenders, and 3.9% of all offenders (proportionately fewer sex
offenders).
