Unlawfully at large : Liberté illegale : profil des délinquants sous responsabilité fédérale qui manquent aux conditions de leur mise en liberté

Male and female offenders had similar UAL rates, but a higher percentage of Aboriginal offenders went UAL than non-Aboriginal offenders (this was true for males and females). [...] There is a need to examine the prevalence and to understand the characteristics of this group so that CSC is better able to develop programming interventions to reduce the likelihood of offenders going unlawfully at large while on conditional release in the community. [...] The research on institutional UALs may provide insight to help identify offenders more likely to go UAL in the community and to prioritize resources to manage the risk of UAL. [...] Specifically, characteristics of offenders who went UAL were compared to those who did not go UAL via chi-square analyses for categorical risk factors and the Mann-Whitney U test for continuous predictors (this test was chosen because the continuous variables were skewed, violating the assumption of a normal distribution necessary for a t-test). [...] Table 2 presents the mean and median number of days until offenders went UAL, 2. Of the 3,990 UAL offenders examined, 36 went UAL after a revocation and re-release.
