All other murders are non-capital.

[Tikinagan Child and Family Services is] a community-based child welfare agency rooted in and accountable to the First Nations communities [it] serves. [It is composed of] a large team of residential care workers, child care workers, family service workers, community-based prevention workers, intake workers, and administrative staff.

OBS

Tikinagan is mandated by the chiefs of Nishnawbe-Aski Nation to provide services in a manner that is sensitive to the unique needs of the Native child and family, Native culture and traditions, and the concept of the extended family. Families often require help at many levels to address issues of mental health, family violence, marital support and addictions, and communities often do not have the necessary resources to meet all of the family's needs. In establishing Tikinagan as a Native child welfare agency, the chiefs were committed to providing services to children and families in whatever manner necessary to prevent them from becoming at risk. Tikinagan was formed, not only to provide child protection services, but also to provide family support and intervention services, to assist and seek out resources for families to overcome their difficulties and to broaden the social services network for the benefit of our children and families.

OBS

As a Children’s Aid Society, Tikinagan has been mandated since April 1987 under the Child and Family Services Act to provide services that will ensure children are protected from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, neglect, and other forms of maltreatment.

OBS

In recent years, several Correctional Service of Canada institutions have begun to offer treatment programs for low-risk sex offenders. These programs target sex offenders who need only minimal intervention before returning to the community and usually emphasize developing empathy for the victim and preventing recidivism. The Violence Interdite Sur Autrui(VISA) program emerged as an offshoot from these programs. It was developed specifically for men who have sexually abused children for whom they played a significant role(such as father, stepfather, grandfather, uncle or older brother).

OBS

Depuis quelques années, plusieurs établissements du Service correctionnel du Canada offrent des programmes de traitement à l'intention des délinquants sexuels à faible risque. Ces programmes visent les délinquants sexuels qui n'ont besoin que d'une intervention minimale avant de réintégrer la collectivité, et ils mettent ordinairement l'accent sur le développement de l'empathie à l'égard de la victime et la prévention de la récidive. Le programme Violence Interdite Sur Autrui (VISA) est quelque peu différent de ces programmes en ce sens qu'il a été conçu expressément à l'intention des hommes qui ont agressé sexuellement des enfants auprès desquels ils jouaient un rôle significatif (p. ex., père, beau-père, grand-père, oncle ou grand frère).

CONT

The intent of intervention is to make aggressors take responsibility for their actions and to enable them to adopt non-violent behaviours in order to establish new relationships with their families. No matter what the peripheral problems associated with violence, the aggressive behaviour is analyzed as a function of the power associated with it and the relationship of domination which it creates.

CONT

Feminism examines the power relationships in society.

OBS

"If your father is touching you, it’s not about sex, it’s about power." A father uses his power, and the child’s inherent trust in a parent, and violates that trust.
