Canada's Approach to Minor Offences, Behavioural Problems and Administrative Detention
This paper is meant to assist our Chinese partners by providing some information on the Canadian approach to minor crime and problem behaviour as well as the use of detention outside the criminal justice system. Through a review of the Canadian Criminal Justice system and the international norms pertaining to restorative justice and administrative detention, this paper seeks to illustrate the importance of ensuring adequate safeguards, fairness, and due process.
