Canadian Criminal Justice System An Issues Approach to the Administration of Justice

The administration of justice is an area of social policy which defies attempts to achieve a balance between order and the protection of the public and respect for individual rights. The media contain daily accounts of the failure of the criminal justice system to repress crime. It is within this social and legal context that this work is situated. In addition to including a range of articles in the standard areas of policing, courts, and corrections, recent articles deal with such controversial issues as aboriginal justice, the recruitment of visible minorities by Canadian police forces, and the role of women in the Canadian criminal justice system. The collection concludes with a critical assessment of the retributive model which currently serves as the philosophical underpinnings of the Canadian criminal justice system.Larsen, Nick is the author of 'Canadian Criminal Justice System An Issues Approach to the Administration of Justice', published 1998 under ISBN 9781551300467 and ISBN 155130046X.
