STUDY 1: Observatory of Racial Inequalities in Quebec

The creation of the Observatory of Racial Inequalities in Québec was made possible thanks to financial support from Heritage Canada as part of its new anti-racism strategy. This project is being led by Alternatives, an international solidarity organization, in partnership with several organizations, including the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Diversity and Democracy (CRIDAQ) at UQAM. The CRIDAQ Diaspora Observatory is responsible for the project's Scientific Committee.

STUDY 2: Reinventing police funding in Quebec

The police institution is today the subject of a crisis of legitimacy that crosses borders. Several social movements have recently emerged here and elsewhere to denounce its discriminatory practices and recurrent violence.

This study notes first of all that a consensus exists regarding the need to rethink the funding of police services in Quebec. It then examines the evolution of police service budgets in the province and compares them to other public expenditure items.
