Central to the Conservative Government of
Canada's punishment agenda are (dis)integration measures that make it more
difficult for the criminalized to fully rejoin society after the completion of
their sentences. The two articles in this edition of TPCP-Canada
focus on the challenges arising from cuts to Circles of Support and
Accountability and changes to the pardon system.
With the 2015 federal election soon upon us, the
next editions of TPCP-Canada will include articles that make visible
the consequences of the Conservative punishment agenda. We will also
track the introduction of new 'law-and-order' legislation tabled by the federal
government and opposition party responses, which will form the basis for their
campaign platforms this fall.
