Criminal Law in Canada: Cases, Questions, and the Code

by Simon Verdun-Jones

Criminal Law in Canada initiates students into the sophisticated, 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 draw appeal to students. Students are encouraged to study not only the general principles of criminal law, but also the specific details of decided cases. 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.
