Document Summary
Case studies: vince li (2008) and allan schoenborn (2008) vince li: manitoba, on. Role of media in these cases: we have constructions of individuals who have gone through the courts and have received the designation of ncrmd as dangerous killers/menaces to society. They use an aggressive tone in order to get a reaction from the community without using any context. Headlines for the previous cases include: bus beheader vince li"s gradual path to freedom , child killer thinks it"s time he gets community access , killer dad could get absolute discharge . The court has to feel that this person has the potential to possibly hurt another person (public safety dialogue). Critiques of bill c-14: section 7 & 9 of charter; victims role; hospitals & review board role; criminal justice system impact.
