1997年，加拿大的青少年拘留所关押了3825名被判刑的青少年。18年后，这一数字为527，减少了86%。青少年监禁（判刑+审前拘留）总体下降了约73%。本文以加拿大成功的青少年脱瘾案例为例，来了解在更广泛的范围内脱瘾可以学到什么。通过研究自20世纪60年代以来加拿大在对待年轻罪犯方面发生的改革以及自20世纪90年代以来发生的政治/文化转变，我们证明了这种下降是由系统各个部分发生的变化造成的。最后，我们将这种情况与60多年来加拿大成人监禁率的相对稳定以及加拿大未能大幅减少青少年审前拘留的情况进行对比，以确定那些似乎对更普遍地减少监禁是必要的因素。
In 1997, Canada's youth custodial facilities held 3825 sentenced youths. Eighteen years later, this number was 527—an 86 percent reduction. Overall youth imprisonment (sentenced + pretrial detention) decreased by approximately 73 percent. This paper uses Canada's successful decarceration of youths to understand what might be learned about decarceration more broadly. By examining the reforms that transpired in Canada's treatment of young offenders since the 1960s and the political/cultural shifts that occurred since the 1990s, we demonstrate that the decline resulted from changes occurring in various parts of the system. Finally, we contrast this decarceration with more than 60 years of relative stability of Canadian adult imprisonment rates as well as Canada's failure to substantially decrease youth pretrial detention in order to identify those factors seemingly necessary to reduce imprisonment more generally.
