Overview

Only 3 per cent of criminal trials in Canada end with an outright acquittal. Yet the public is continually told by politicians, police, and the media that our justice system is criminal-friendly and administered by liberal judges who wake up each morning looking for legal technicalities to put the bad guys back on the street. The reality could not be more different. What has evolved into a criminal justice industry in Canada is increasingly skewed against those on trial, with protections in the Charter of Rights steadily eroded by the courts as judges show deference to police even when there is evidence of state misconduct. Shannon Kari explains how this institution actually functions instead of how it is portrayed by groups with a financial self-interest in keeping Canada's criminal courts overflowing, usually with minor offenders. Cutting through the law-and-order hyperbole - this book serves as an insider's guide to the Canadian criminal justice system.
