This paper is an examination of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and the related\u00a0conditions of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), fetal alcohol effects (FAE), and alcoholrelated\u00a0birth effects (ARBE)3 as they pertain to the Canadian criminal justice system, and\u00a0specifically to Aboriginal Canadian offenders. FASD is considered a problem for the\u00a0criminal justice system in general, but the over-representation of Aboriginal persons at\u00a0various levels of the Canadian system, in particular in the Prairie Provinces of Canada\u00a0(Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) places an additional factor into any consideration\u00a0of the issue. This is further complicated by the fact that, as suggested by Tait (2003), it is\u00a0important to recognize the \u2018secondary disabilities\u2019 identified as part of FASD in the\u00a0context of those social characteristics that are the result of colonialism and related policies\u00a0of discrimination, attempts at forced assimilation and economic marginalization\u00a0experienced by Aboriginal people. Thus the high incarceration rate of Aboriginal people\u00a0which many see as an outcome of colonialism, combined with common stereotypes of the\u00a0\u201cdrunken Indian\u201d may lead one to assume that FASD is a major contributing factor to\u00a0Aboriginal peoples\u2019 over-involvement with the criminal justice system. What is really the\u00a0issue at hand is the relationship between FASD and incarceration of\u00a0 Aboriginal people,\u00a0not as an indicator of the connection between alcoholism addiction and Aboriginals, but\u00a0rather as a sign that incarceration of Aboriginal people is connected to discrimination,\u00a0and broader health and social development issues (the outcome of colonialism) and which\u00a0may also include FASD. The problems of identifying offenders with FASD in the criminal\u00a0justice system (and in particular the prison system), presents as disproportionately problem of Aboriginal people. This must be taken into account when developing policies\u00a0and practices around FASD and criminal justice.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ align_mobile=”align_center_mobile” mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_button button_color=”accent” size=”btn-lg” radius=”btn-square” wide=”yes” border_width=”0″ link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fmmuperu.co.uk%2Fbjcj%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F441%2F2020%2F08%2FBJCJ_6-3_Bracken-1.pdf||target:%20_blank|”]Download PDF[\/vc_button][uncode_share layout=”multiple” bigger=”yes” separator=”yes”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”2″ override_padding=”yes” column_padding=”2″ back_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1593440492913{padding-right: 26px !important;padding-left: 26px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_font=”font-128611″ text_size=”h4″ text_weight=”500″ text_color=”color-210407″]Latest Issue[\/vc_custom_heading][uncode_index el_id=”index-163686″ loop=”size:1|order_by:date|post_type:post|categories:3″ gutter_size=”3″ post_items=”title,date” screen_lg=”1000″ screen_md=”600″ screen_sm=”480″ single_text=”overlay” single_style=”dark” single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_overlay_anim=”no” single_text_visible=”yes” single_text_anim=”no” single_h_align_mobile=”left” single_padding=”0″ single_title_family=”font-128611″ single_title_dimension=”h4″ single_title_weight=”500″][vc_button button_color=”accent” size=”btn-xl” radius=”btn-square” wide=”yes” custom_typo=”yes” font_family=”font-128611″ font_weight=”500″ border_width=”0″ link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fmmuperu.co.uk%2Fbjcj%2Fnewsletter%2F|title:Newsletter||”]Subscribe to our Newsletter[\/vc_button][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10aW1lbGluZSUyMiUyMGRhdGEtd2lkdGglM0QlMjI0MDAlMjIlMjBkYXRhLWhlaWdodCUzRCUyMjU0NSUyMiUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGYmpjb21tdW5pdHlqdXN0JTNGcmVmX3NyYyUzRHR3c3JjJTI1NUV0ZnclMjIlM0VUd2VldHMlMjBieSUyMGJqY29tbXVuaXR5anVzdCUzQyUyRmElM0UlMjAlM0NzY3JpcHQlMjBhc3luYyUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGcGxhdGZvcm0udHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZ3aWRnZXRzLmpzJTIyJTIwY2hhcnNldCUzRCUyMnV0Zi04JTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGc2NyaXB0JTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
