Document Summary
Is the legal system really a justice system . 2 distortions that favour corps: interpretation and accountability. How legal person is de ned matters, especially when it comes to human rights. Social - who"s into the country etc. Economic - i don"t want to pay more money! Obvious problems do not always have obvious solutions. Over representation of african american (us) and natives (canada) This allows you to see where the greatest resistance to change comes from. For some, law is a source of injustice. Watch law - not always a tool of restitution and justice. Terms - exam (the house i live in) Non violent drug crimes - can be locked up, mandatory sentence = 5years. Asset seizure - cops taking items from a civilian (money, cars) because of probable cause. Richard nixon - made the term war on drugs . wanted to deal with treatment as well as enforcement/incarceration.
