Document Summary

Trauma: any out-of-the-ordinary event that is experienced as overwhelming. The way people handle it is different. Trauma is different from stress it is shocking, terrifying, devastating, and results in feelings of powerlessness, terror, shame, helplessness. People who have been traumatized often live in fear and develop maladaptive coping mechanisms. Trauma isn"t just individual, it can be collective residential schools, natural disasters, forced migration, gender-based violence. People involved with the law come from marginalized groups who come from shared feelings of trauma. Youth justice system of canada doesn"t work well; it catches poor, mentally challenged, Aboriginal youth, more than other groups these marginalized groups have experienced intense trauma. System causes more traumas and increases likeliness of re-offending. Over-emphasis on risk assessment/analysis based on probability of it happening again, reflects past behaviour. Past behaviour does indicate in some sense future behaviour, but isn"t 100%; so not everything should be focused/based on the probability of it happening again based on past.
