Description

Criminal Law in Canada is a core introductory text intended to give students the practical understanding of criminal law that they require to become successful criminal justice system practitioners. Criminal Law in Canada uses an integrated case-oriented approach to appeal to students. It discusses the general principles underlying Canadian criminal law in the context of specific cases decided by the courts. By combining the study of general principles with a close analysis of specific cases, students learn to apply the principles of criminal law to concrete, factual situations that they will face in everyday life or read about in the media.
