  • Policing and Surveilling the Black Community in Toronto, Canada, 1992-2016
    From the Yonge Street Riot to the Carding Controversy: Policing and Surveilling the Black Community in Toronto, Canada, 1992-2016 By Maria Kyres A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies in Conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2017 Copyright © Maria Kyres Abstract In the last decade, the conversation surrounding racial profiling and carding in the city of Toronto garnered much public and scholarly attention. Many journalists, academics and activists have examined the Community Contacts Policy, also known as carding, as well as mass incarceration and the police shootings and killings of unarmed, young Black men. The Yonge Street Uprising and the carding controversy in Toronto serve as two case studies to explore the ways that Black men have been disproportionately profiled, policed and surveilled in this country, particularly in the province of Ontario. Despite the fact that the Yonge Street Uprising and the carding controversy occurred decades apart, a common thread throughout both cases was the narrative of Black male criminality. In addition, it became apparent that many of the practices employed in contemporary society, such as racial profiling, carding and mass incarceration were derived from slavery, with the goal of limiting the freedom and mobility of Black people. Therefore, an examination of Canada’s historical treatment of Black people is necessary in order to demonstrate how practices rooted in slavery, such as, fugitive slave advertisements and historical representations of Black criminality helped inform current police practices. Through an analysis of historical, legal, criminological, and critical race scholarship, this work seeks to examine how and why Black people, specifically Black men, were and continue to be disproportionately more likely to be policed, surveilled and incarcerated.

  • Information Report to Council Report Number 17-302
    City of Kingston Information Report to Council Report Number 17-302 To: Mayor and Members of Council From: Lanie Hurdle, Commissioner, Community Services Resource Staff: Paige Agnew, Director, Planning, Building & Licensing Services Date of Meeting: November 7, 2017 Subject: Nuisance Party By-Law Executive Summary: The purpose of this Information Report is to provide an overview of the concept of a Nuisance Party By-Law as a local enforcement tool, to identify best practices from other Ontario municipalities, and to outline next steps for the development and implementation of the by-law in Kingston. In Ontario, a number of municipalities have enacted nuisance party by-laws to provide Police and By-Law Enforcement with the ability, under one City-wide by-law, to address the negative impacts on neighbourhoods of behaviours associated with large social gatherings. By exercising the authority provided under a nuisance party by-law, an Order can be issued by Police for a large social gathering/party to cease, and for the dispersal of people not residing at a residence where the social gathering is occurring. By-laws of this nature have been demonstrated to serve as an additional tool for local enforcement, bridging the gap between existing by-laws and charges under the Criminal Code. The regulatory purpose of this concept is to create a duty upon those hosting a social event or party to control the participants, and to give law enforcement personnel a mechanism to control and disperse people where the event has become a public nuisance. Nuisance party by-laws can therefore provide additional enforcement options beyond those available under existing by-laws and statutes.

  • The History and the Future of the Politics of Policing
    Conference Draft – June 29, 2004 CONFERENCE DRAFT “The History and the Future of the Politics of Policing” Margaret Beare Sociology and Law, Osgoode Hall Law School Abstract: This paper examines the operational realities of the police executive linkages—beyond the official dictates of the law and the desired position expressed in ideological discourses on police independence. Paper draws primarily on historical and criminological literature and research, and public inquiries. The central argument of this paper is that, while there may be a somewhat clear-cut division between the policy versus the operational control of the police by the State in law and in rhetoric, the reality is quite different. The relationship between the State and the police is a dynamic relationship that changes to reflect the nature of the policing that is being carried-out, the political interests of the party in power, and to some extent the personalities of the key players within both the police services and in politics at a specific period in time. This research indicates that looking for the ‘smoking gun’—i.e. the memo or document that in writing acknowledges a directive from the executive to the police sidesteps the reality of the on-going partnerships between politics and policing. Introduction: Much current controversy surrounding policing centres around two issues: the relationship between the police and politics and the question of accountability. Dianne Martins paper has addressed the issue of accountability and while the two issues overlap, I shall be looking specifically at the political question. An understanding of the organizational workings of the police is essential to any attempt to reconcile the tensions between the dictates of police autonomy and the restraints imposed on the police.

  • Selected Police-Reported Crime and Calls for Service During the COVID-19 Pandemic, March 2020 to June 2021 Released at 8:30 A.M
    Selected police-reported crime and calls for service during the COVID-19 pandemic, March 2020 to June 2021 Released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in The Daily, Tuesday, August 10, 2021 Police-reported data on selected types of crimes and calls for service during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to June 2021 are now available. Note to readers The Canadian Centre for Justice and Community Safety Statistics is conducting a special survey collection from a sample of police services across Canada to measure the impact of COVID-19 on selected types of crimes and calls for service. Data will continue to be collected monthly until December 2021, and will continue to be reported regularly. This is the seventh release of this special data collection by Statistics Canada. Previously published data may have been revised. For this reference period, 19 police services provided data on a voluntary basis. These police services are the Calgary Police Service, Edmonton Police Service, Halton Regional Police Service, Kennebecasis Regional Police Force, London Police Service, Montréal Police Service, Ontario Provincial Police, Ottawa Police Service, Regina Police Service, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, Saskatoon Police Service, Sûreté du Québec, Toronto Police Service, Vancouver Police Department, Victoria Police Department, Waterloo Regional Police Service, Winnipeg Police Service, and York Regional Police. Police services that responded to this survey serve more than two-thirds (71%) of the Canadian population. The Edmonton Police Service, Montréal Police Service, RCMP, Sûreté du Québec and Winnipeg Police Service were unable to provide data on calls for service; as a result, the police services that did provide these data serve nearly one-third (32%) of the Canadian population.
