Stribopoulos on Canadian Criminal Justice Reform

James Stribopoulos (York University - Osgoode Hall Law School) has posted Criminal Law Reform: Stealing a Page from the American Playbook (Act for Freedom, Canadian Civil Liberties Association, p. 36, 2010) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: 

Criminal justice law reform is a major component of the Federal Government’s current legislative agenda. Unfortunately, instead of basing reforms on criminological research or the advice of experts, our current Government, by its own admission, is far more interested in what ordinary Canadians think about the criminal justice system.
