Criminal Law in Canada is a case-oriented approach, in which the student is encouraged to study not only the general principles of criminal law but also the specific details of decided cases. Using this method, the student learns to apply these principles of criminal law to concrete factual situations that arise in everyday life or to situations that they may encounter in their professional lives. Contemporary changes in the Canadian Criminal Code are thoroughly examined and compared with precedent-setting cases, thereby creating a context for understanding and interpreting criminal law in Canada.

This refreshingly succinct and engaging introduction to family sociology in Canada has a strong focus on contemporary theory and research on a wide variety of substantive issues relevant to the lives of students from diverse family backgrounds. This book is organised into three interrelated areas: the study of continuity, diversity, inequality, and social change in families; the life course of families across the generations; and, critical issues facing families today, including social policy issues.
