Written by a team of experts from across the country, this original collection begins with an introduction to the Canadian criminal justice system followed by two parts: the first focusing on specific areas of the criminal justice system in light of the policy surrounding it and the second examining crime policy as it relates to a range of policy areas such as immigration, welfare, and technology. Current and comprehensive, this innovative volume uncovers the process and participants involved in shaping criminal justice policy, while linking crime policy and democratic governance in Canada to broader institutional, cultural, and global criminal justice trends.
