"Sentencing in Canada contains a unique collection of essays that explore all key aspects of sentencing. The contributors include leading academics, criminal law practitioners, and members of the judiciary, and many of the authors have extensive experience working in the areas of sentencing and parole. The volume is not simply a statement of the law — instead, the chapters explore the wider context in which sentencing and parole decisions are taken. The volume also incorporates findings from the latest empirical research into sentencing policy and practice in Canada, including important issues such as sentencing Indigenous persons. As Mr Justice Moldaver notes in his preface, the volume “will be useful to criminal law practitioners and, more generally, to all persons interested in sentencing.”" - hinterer Umschlagtext

"International criminal law has focused on the prosecution of truly international crimes--genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and aggression. The emerging field of transnational criminal law reflects the fact that our post-Cold War, post-9/11 world has seen the growth of transnational crimes of international concern, such as terrorism, money laundering, organized crime, and human and narcotics trafficking, as well as transnational crimes of domestic concern, which are simply ordinary domestic crimes that involve the jurisdiction of more than one state. This book surveys these two related but increasingly distinct fields with a focus on Canada, bringing together in one accessible text topics that are of increasing importance in a world of globalized crime, from a substantive perspective and through examination of the expanding range of international tribunals dealing with such crimes. This third edition updates caselaw and international practice from Canada, including substantial revisions relating to the prosecution of cross-border crimes. It also combines examinations of international courts and tribunals, transnational criminal law treaties, and recent literature to provide a unique perspective on these two international law disciplines that, while best viewed as separate, retain a common heritage and some overlapping concepts and applications."-- Provided by publisher.

Dans l’arrêt R c Jarvis, la Cour suprême du Canada (CSC) a interprété pour la première fois la disposition du Code criminel sur le voyeurisme. Le présent article examine la jurisprudence pertinente en matière de voyeurisme qui a précédé l’arrêt Jarvis, y compris trois questions litigieuses qui ont façonné les interprétations judiciaires antérieures : la pertinence de la jurisprudence relative à l’article 8 de la Charte, la perspective de la vie privée en public et l’applicabilité de l’analyse du risque. Bien que les motifs de la CSC ne reconnaissent pas explicitement les questions d’égalité en jeu, son traitement de ces trois questions reflète sans doute trois volets de la théorie et de la jurisprudence féministes qui favorisent l’égalité. Cet article explore ce chevauchement, suggérant que les motifs de la CSC dans l’arrêt Jarvis peuvent être compris comme étant implicitement féministes. Reconnaissant que des motifs explicitement féministes auraient un plus grand potentiel de reconnaissance de l’égalité, l’auteure affirme que les motifs de la CSC représentent une étape positive vers une conception du droit à la vie privée en ce sens.

Five dimensions of gender-based violence are explored: unwanted sexual behaviour while in public, unwanted sexual behaviour online, unwanted sexual behaviour in the workplace, sexual assault, and physical assault. * According to the 2018 Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS), an estimated 1 million people in Canada are sexual minorities-that is, they reported their sexual orientation as gay, lesbian, bisexual or a sexual orientation that is not heterosexual-representing 4% of the population of Canada 15 years of age and older. * In addition, approximately 75,000 people, or 0.24% of the population of Canada aged 15 and older indicated on the SSPPS that their assigned sex at birth was different from their current gender, or that they were neither male nor female-in other words, that they are transgender. Research suggests that sexual minority (those who stated their sexual orientation as lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, or otherwise not heterosexual) people experience violence at a greater prevalence than heterosexual people (Simpson 2018; Walters et al. 2013). While this analysis will focus on the impacts of sexual orientation and gender on experiences of victimization and unwanted sexual behaviours, it is important to recognize that there are many aspects of a person that can intersect-such as their sexual orientation, gender, race, or whether they have a disability-and impact their likelihood of experiencing victimization (Crenshaw 1994). Experiences of sexual minority Canadians According to the 2018 Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS), an estimated 1 million Canadians are sexual minorities-that is, they reported their sexual orientation as gay, lesbian, bisexual or a sexual orientation that is not heterosexual-representing 4% of the population of Canada 15 years of age and older.

Human rights instruments are but one of many legal advocacy tools used by trans people. Recent legal scholarship emphasizes that human rights laws are not sufficient to address legal challenges facing trans people, particularly intersectional and systemic barriers. This article looks to Canadian trans case law outside of human rights law to reveal the many instances in which trans people’s fight for legal recognition and redress occur outside of the human rights arena. It focuses on trans case law in three areas: family law, the use of name and gender in court, and access to social benefits. Canadian trans jurisprudence illustrates that not only are trans legal strategies outside of human rights plentiful and effective, they are also imperative. An agile and pragmatic approach to trans rights is necessary, particularly when minority rights are under threat, and for trans people on the margins of trans law reforms., RésuméLes instruments de protection des droits de la personne ne sont que l’un des nombreux outils juridiques utilisés par les personnes trans. Une récente étude juridique souligne d’ailleurs que les lois sur les droits de la personne ne sont pas suffisantes pour relever les défis juridiques auxquels sont confrontées les personnes trans, en particulier les barrières intersectionnelles et systémiques. Cet article se penche sur la jurisprudence canadienne portant sur des litiges trans qui ne touchent pas les lois relatives aux droits de la personne. Cette analyse permet de révéler les nombreux cas dans lesquels la lutte des personnes trans pour la reconnaissance juridique et la réparation survient en dehors de l’arène des droits de la personne. L’article se concentre sur la jurisprudence trans dans trois domaines : le droit de la famille, l’utilisation du nom et du genre devant les tribunaux et l’accès aux prestations sociales. La jurisprudence canadienne relative aux personnes trans illustre que non seulement les stratégies juridiques trans qui se trouve à l’extérieur des droits de l’homme sont nombreuses et efficaces, mais qu’elles sont également impératives. Une approche agile et pragmatique des droits des trans est donc nécessaire, en particulier lorsque les droits des minorités sont menacés, ainsi que pour les personnes trans qui se trouvent en marge des réformes des droits trans.

"L’assurance se retrouve partout dans la société canadienne. La santé, l’emploi, les transports, le commerce, l’industrie, les communications et l’éducation : tous les secteurs d’activité sont touchés par l’assurance. Qu’elle soit publique ou privée, obligatoire ou volontaire, l’assurance touche tout le monde, tous les jours : les adultes, les enfants, les autorités gouvernementales, les associations et les personnes morales. Nous exerçons des activités qui ne pourraient pas avoir lieu sans assurance. Nous prenons des risques qui ne pourraient pas être acceptés sans assurance. Nous effectuons des achats qui, si ce n’était de l’assurance, ne pourraient pas être justifiés. Nous exerçons des professions, exploitons des entreprises et entretenons des rapports avec autrui qui seraient trop coûteux en l’absence de l’assurance. Lorsqu’il y a des risques, l’assurance est nécessaire et il est impossible de vivre au 21e siècle sans courir de risques chaque jour. Le droit des assurances au Canada est un amalgame de lois fédérales, provinciales et territoriales, de règlements, de principes de common law et de coutumes. Cet ouvrage offre une analyse détaillée de ce cadre réglementaire en constante évolution. Rédigé en français dans une perspective de common law, son but est de rendre le droit des assurances accessible aux nombreux francophones et francophiles qui étudient et pratiquent le droit dans une juridiction autre que le Québec et d’offrir une base de comparaison aux juristes de tradition civiliste qui œuvrent dans ce domaine. Quoique l’ouvrage est pancanadien dans son approche générale, la seconde édition est axée sur quatre provinces : l’Ontario, le Nouveau-Brunswick, l’Alberta et la Colombie-Britannique. Il renferme des douzaines de nouveaux arrêts de la Cour suprême du Canada et des cours d’appels du pays, de même que des réformes législatives qui sont entrées en vigueur en 2012 en Alberta et en Colombie-Britannique et en 2016 en Ontario. Ensemble, ces développements renforcent de façon significative le cadre réglementaire qui protège les attentes raisonnables des personnes assurées et bénéficiaires de police." -- Page 4 de la couverture

Loyalty has many meanings, within and without the law. There is a difficult question about whether loyalty is a virtue, inasmuch as one can be loyal to many causes, not all of them virtuous. For many jurists, the notion of loyalty evokes the common law’s fiduciary relationship and the norms that are particular to that … Continued
