Sept/Oct 2011: Canada’s Criminal (Justice) System

Volume 45, Issue 5

Governments in all parts of Canada are expanding prisons and deploying more police despite resounding evidence that these strategies don’t reduce crime, and despite the fact that crime rates are falling anyway. The expansion of the criminal justice system has become a central part of political and economic restructuring in Canada and it demands attention. This special issue of Canadian Dimension contributes to the documentation of what this shift looks like and ways people are resisting it.
