Griffithsâ Canadian Criminal Justice: A Primer provides a succinct yet thorough introduction to the dynamic and complex Canadian criminal justice system for students without significant prior exposure to the field. In fourteen brief chapters, the text presents a current, accessible overview of the distinct parts of the criminal justice system as they are evolving in response to the technological and societal changes of the 21st century. The fifth edition includes enhanced coverage of the impact of technology in addition to enhanced coverage of the experiences of Aboriginal Canadians, women, and youth. In addition to an overview of the structural and procedural elements of the system, the author highlights the human dynamics of the system. The new At Issue boxes present the key, current issues surrounding this countryâs responses to crime and offenders, capturing studentsâ attention and generating classroom discussion. Three new chapters on restorative justice, victimization and the communityâs role, and the creation of an effective criminal justice system enhance this market-leading text, helping to create a highly engaged community of learners who come to class prepared and eager to discuss the issues presented in the text.
