The increase in charges for sexual crimes against minors which followed the case Cloutier-Simard led to a marked increase in admissions of sex offenders in penitentiaries in Quebec over the past five years.
Statistics submitted to the Journal by the National Parole Board reported a 55% increase in admissions of offenders convicted of sexual offenses on minors in federal institutions in Quebec. 93 it was in 2003-04, the number of admissions rose to 143 in 2007-08.
In Canada, the same data show that the number of admissions has risen from 390 to 461 in five years, a smaller increase of 18%.
In the prisons of Quebec jurisdiction, 348 people convicted of sex crimes (it was impossible to obtain data only for the victims of minor age) were admitted in 2007-08, compared to 264 in 2004-05, is an increase of 24%.
Case management
Both Ottawa and Quebec, we did not want to talk about the reasons for the price of admission for such offenders. At both locations, it ensures that the largest arrival of such prisoners causes no problem of cohabitation with other prisoners who might be tempted to make them a bad party.
"The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is committed to provide the necessary protection to offenders who need it. Each case is evaluated on an individual basis. If necessary, the Service may, for example, make planning cell which would be suitable both for the safety of the prisoner in question for the rest of the prison population, "said Lynn Brunette, spokesman for the CSC.
"The areas of protection have always existed in our prisons. In cases, measures are taken, "said Mario Vaillancourt, spokesman for the Ministry of Public Security of Quebec.
More resources and knowledgeable
Author of a book reports of stalking against the cyber police (One day at a time), journalist Julian Sher nods when asked if the hyper-publicized cases of sexual crimes in recent years have had an influence on the number denunciations and therefore convictions. But there is more.
"The media and the police began to focus more attention to the protection of children. The police have put more resources in this sector. Teachers, hospital staff and parents are more knowledgeable.
Moreover, since November 2005, prison sentences minimum imposed for these offenses. "
Mr. Sher also argues that it is now easier for predators to have access to child pornography through the Internet.
"We are in a society increasingly sexualized. We have access to scenes of child rape and sexual abuse as never before. "
This helps to break down two walls among sex offenders, said he. That of guilt, shot by the trivialization of such images, and the fear, as well hidden at home in front of their computers, predators are more afraid of getting caught. "
