"This book is our first major treatise in criminal law, a substantive modern interpretation of the law of evidence in Canada. It differentiates itself from the major treatises offered by other publishers by emphasizing practical guidance, advocacy tactics, a balance between Crown and defence perspectives, national context, and a more focused and succinct treatment than the more academic treatises. As an evidence treatise, the book is one of general application, covering issues relevant to all types of Canadian criminal offences."-- Provided by publisher.

Women were also more likely to have talked to somebody about their experience following an incident of unwanted behaviour or assault. * Women were more likely than men to have experienced multiple incidents in the past 12 months and to have experienced unwanted behaviour or violence while on the street versus while in another public place, such as a bar or restaurant. * Beside gender, being younger, having experienced harsh parenting, having been physically or sexually abused by an adult during childhood, and being single, never married, all play a role in experiencing gender-based violence. * One in three (32%) women and one in eight (13%) men experienced unwanted sexual behaviour in public. The victims-and even the perpetrators-may not themselves perceive the motivations for the incident as being rooted in social structures and systems, which can serve to produce and reproduce gender inequality and gendered violence across many dimensions. Because of this, asking about gender-based violence directly in a survey may not lead to accurate findings or conclusions. Previous research indicates that disabled women, Indigenous women, girls and young women, lesbian and bisexual women, and gay and bisexual men are more at risk of experiencing violence (Boyce 2016; Burczycka 2018a; Conroy 2018; Conroy and Cotter 2017; Cotter 2018; Cotter and Beaupré 2014; Ibrahim 2018; Perreault 2015; Rotenberg 2019; Rotenberg 2017; Simpson 2018). By also including questions which measure violence that meets the criminal threshold, such as physical and sexual assault, the SSPPS allows for a comparative analysis of the risk factors across the continuum of gender-based violence, while also providing more recent self-reported statistics on violent victimization.

Experiences of First Nations, Métis and Inuit women in Canada: Highlights * Violence against Indigenous peoples reflects the traumatic and destructive history of colonialization that impacted and continues to impact Indigenous families, communities and Canadian society overall. * Violent victimization is defined in the 2018 Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS), as a physical assault (an attack, a threat of physical harm, or an incident with a weapon present) or a sexual assault (forced sexual activity or attempted forced sexual activity). * Results from the SSPPS indicate that more than six in ten (63%) Indigenous women have experienced physical or sexual assault in their lifetime. * Almost six in ten (56%) Indigenous women have experienced physical assault while almost half (46%) of Indigenous women have experienced sexual assault. First Nations, Métis and Inuit (Indigenous) peoples are diverse and have unique histories, languages, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs. [...]Indigenous women may face unique barriers to reporting experiences of violent victimization or seeking help following victimization, including a lack of access to culturally appropriate resources, inaccessibility of support services, a general distrust of law enforcement, and perceived lack of confidentiality in the justice system (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada 2015). [...]homicide data highlights the prevalence and characteristics among homicide of Indigenous women in Canada.

"The eighth edition of Criminal Law has been thoroughly updated to include new developments. It includes a detailed discussion of R v Brown striking down restrictions on the extreme intoxication defence and the likely parliamentary reply, and Parliament’s reply in Bill C-28. It also examines changes in jury selection upheld in R v Chouhan; important decisions on fault, such as R v Zora, R v Javanmardi, R v Chung, and R v Goforth; and assesses R v Cowan on parties. The discussion of sexual assault has been updated to take into account R v Barton and the possible implications of R v Morrison. The Supreme Court’s first decision under the amended self-defence provisions in R v Khill is reviewed. This new edition also has been revised to include important decisions from the Ontario and Nova Scotia Courts of Appeal on sentencing Black offenders, as well as the Supreme Court’s striking down of mandatory minimum fine surcharges and stacking of twenty-five-year periods of parole ineligibility."-- Provided by publisher.

« Noyau du droit privé, la théorie des obligations constitue le tronc commun du droit civil et du droit commercial. C'est le ciment de l'activité juridique des citoyens, tant dans leur vie particulière que dans leur vie professionnelle. Telle est la conception moderne du droit des obligations, domaine privilégié de ce qu'il faut aujourd'hui appeler le "droit civil des affaires". Il comprend trois piliers : la théorie des contrats, profondément renouvelée par la poussée du droit de la consommation ; la théorie de la responsabilité, transformée par le jeu des assurances et l'idée de solidarité ; le régime général des obligations, marqué par la "patrimonialisation" des créances, qui en fait un objet de circulation économique, vivifiée par le développement des organismes financiers. Deux de ces trois piliers viennent de connaître une refonte d'une ampleur inédite depuis le Code civil de 1804 : l'ordonnance du 10 février 2016, ratifiée et retouchée par la loi du 20 avril 2018, a totalement réécrit et profondément actualisé le droit des contrats et le régime général des obligations. Et le troisième, celui de la responsabilité civile, s'apprête à connaître aussi une rénovation dont le processus est entamé. Ainsi, matière classique par excellence, le droit des obligations est cependant moderne et actuel : c'est que sa nature même est de se renouveler constamment en fonction des évolutions sociales et économiques, et aujourd'hui en particulier sous l'influence (controversée) de l'aspiration européenne (les principes du droit européen des contrats sont intégrés au texte et reproduits en annexe). »--Quatrième de couverture
