MAY 2015 EDITION OF TPCP-CANADA

by Justin Piché, Assistant Professor, Criminology, University of Ottawa

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.
