The survey was conducted from York University in Toronto, Canada, between May and November of 1975. Involving an 11-page, 303-item questionnaire, the survey received answers from 1,917 randomly selected Canadians in 30 size-stratified communities across the country. Canadians expressed a deep concern with the level of crime and were critical of the police and the courts, favoring more severe handling of offenders, including the use of capital punishment. The majority are opposed to the legalization of marijuana, but endorse the criminalization of neither pornographic distribution to adults nor abortion in select situations. Implications of these findings are discussed. Tables and notes are included. (Author abstract modified)
