Description

Canadian Criminal Law and the Criminal Code: An Introduction, first edition, is the first brand new criminal Law text for criminology undergraduate students to be published in a generation. Its unique and accessible approach is designed to appeal to a wide variety of students, including those without a law background or who aren't planning on careers as lawyers. The text is laid out to mirror the process by which a person moves through the criminal justice system and interacts with justice system players, from pre-trial procedures through defences and sentencing. Key sections of the Criminal Code are included and brought to life through contemporary case studies and compelling discussion questions. The aim is to engage the students fully with the material, which consists of the most up-to-date judgements and statutes of any criminal law text available.
