Chapter 14: Contemporary Issues in the Canadian Criminal Justice System
 

“The pedagogical features offered in each chapter for students to engage with are fantastic—specifically the Critical Issues in Criminal Justice boxes and the Investigating boxes! I often refer to them while I am teaching to help get the students to read their texts and further explore things that pique their interest.”

—Lorree Bogden,
