Policing, Police Powers and Police Discretion in Canada
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing policing, police powers and police discretion in Canada. The police in Canada follow many administrative guidelines from municipal, provincial and federal levels. The Canadian Criminal Code, the Constitution Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are all balanced in order to allow the police to protect their communities but at the same time allow the citizens their own rights and freedoms. Despite the administrative guidelines under which police powers are maintained, police are given some discretionary powers within their work. In serious investigations, these powers may be increased by a writ of assistance which allows the police to further their investigations with fewer impediments. At the same time, police are also given the discretion to decide not to charge on minor offences where is it seen as unreasonable to expend the resources of the justice system.

Post-WWII Canada/2 books
[ send me this paper ]

Two books, Doug Owram's Born at the Right Time: A History of the Baby-Boom Generation (University of Toronto Press, 1996) and Alvin Finkel's Our Lives, Canada after 1945 (Lorimer, 1997) offer very different perspectives on life was like for the majority of Canadians in the post-World War II era, that is 1945-1970. In each book, the authors describe the origins and character of suburban lifestyles, but the books differ due to the distinctions between the approaches of each author. A close examination of each text reveals that where the authors appear to disagree is a direct result of the perspective employed and with small subtitles in their presentation of the socio- political-economic social atmosphere of this era.
