Canadian Criminal Law: A Treatise

This title has been thoroughly updated. In the five years that have passed since the last edition was published there have been no major legislative attempts to make the substantive law more principled. Parliament has been engaged in adding new offences and in a worrying trend to add minimum prison sentences. General matters of substantive principle have been left to the courts. Major decisions additions addressed in this edition include: Supreme Court decisions in Beatty (dangerous driving and the marked departure test for crimes of objective fault), Morelli. (possessing child pornography on computer); Briscoe (definition of wilful blindness as deliberate ignorance and liability as aider);
