Document Summary
canada is a unique country; we actually have a formal ban of publication of any racial or ethnicity crime rates unlike the states and europe. same goes for a number of other issues/ not only offending but criminal justice processing.

By race we typical refer to skin color or visible characteristics, ethnicity often refers to your nationality. There could be bias in the collection of the data. data could be used to justify discrimination against particular racial/ethnic groups. data could be used to damage the operation or reputation of the criminal justice system.
