Crim. is not the study of law, it is the study of crime. Crime rates in canada have been dropping since 1991. Other than a blip in 2015, crime has been at a steady decline since 1991. Crime is most likely to happen in and around the home. Followed by the workplace, then the streets. Police services stating they want to put more police on the streets does not do any good, because crime rarely happens on the streets. 3 major agencies - police, courts, corrections. Outlines the rights and freedoms of canadians. Outlines offences related to narcotics not listed in the criminal code. Outlines procedural law about how to deal with youth in the justice system. Less/little agreement on what societal values are. Look at reactions - how we sanction tells is a lot about how we see crime. Don"t see a line between criminals and noncriminal behaviors non-criminals. There are power struggles in what gets from.
