Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Over the last number of years, the Government of Canada (which has exclusive constitutional jurisdiction over criminal law in Canada) enacted various pieces of legislation mandating the imposition of mandatory minimum periods of imprisonment for specific offences contained within the Criminal Code of Canada, R.S.C. 1985. This has included: – the Safe Streets and Communities Act, S.C. 2012, c 1 (which imposed mandatory minimum penalties for certain sexual offences against children and which amended the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, R.S.C. 1985, to provide for minimum penalties for certain drug offences)1; and – the Increasing Offenders’ Accountability for Victims Act, S.C. 2013, c 11 (which requires that a minimum “victim surcharge” be imposed on all offenders regardless of ability to pay).2

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
