Gladue Reports

Gladue refers to a right that Aboriginal People have under section 718.2 (e) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

Gladue is a sentencing principle which recognizes that Indigenous people face racism and systemic discrimination in and out of the criminal law system, and attempts to deal, with the crisis of overrepresentation/inequities of Indigenous people in custody, to the extent possible, through changing how judges sentence. Gladue instructs judges, when sentencing or setting bail, to consider: "all available sanctions other than imprisonment that are reasonable in the circumstances with particular attention to the circumstances of Aboriginal offenders"(Gladue Primer, 2011).
