Urban African Canadians: A Qualitative Study of Serious Legal Problems in Quebec

Introduction

Urban African Canadians: A Qualitative Study of Serious Legal Problems in Quebec is part of a national study series on serious legal problems experienced by minority communities across Canada, including Black Canadians, Indigenous people, LGBTQ2+ Canadians, persons with physical and/or mental disabilities, and immigrants. In the case of Black Canadians, this study also included immigrants and those with mental and physical disabilities. The goal of the study was to collect information about serious legal problems that Black Canadians have faced in the past three years, how they tried to resolve their problems, and the impacts of those problems. The report is based on 14 interviews, which were conducted in the summer and fall of 2020 with members of Quebec’s Black population.
