In 1987 a task force studied which group in Federal Corrections?

• A. Afro-Canadian
• B. Immigrant
• C. Aboriginal
• D. Caucasian

Answer: (C)

The question is about understanding historical focus in Canada’s federal corrections. In 1987 a task force examined Aboriginal offenders in the federal corrections system because Indigenous peoples were disproportionately represented in custody and had distinct cultural needs. The study highlighted the importance of addressing those needs with culturally relevant programs, involvement of Aboriginal communities in planning and supervision, and approaches geared toward fair reintegration. This emphasis on Aboriginal peoples, rather than other groups, reflects the specific concerns of that era about equity and effective correctional care for Indigenous populations.
