Professor Roach's account of the current state of substantive criminal law and theory in Canada has become essential reading, not only in law schools, but also among judges, practitioners, and others involved in the criminal justice system. The fifth edition of Criminal Law has been thoroughly updated and includes analysis of  a number of important Supreme Court of Canada decisions especially in relation to the provocation defence, and in the Court's  use of a modified and contextual objective standard that has implications for other defences. The book also examines the provisions relating to self defence, defence of others, and defence of property which Parliament has replaced with new and radically simplified defences in ss.34 and 35 of the Criminal Code. In addition the book reviews the judgment in R. v. Ipeelee  where the Supreme Court confirmed the need for restraint in the use of imprisonment and the need for a different approach to the sentencing of Aboriginal offenders, particularly in light of the fact that Parliament continues to restrict the use of conditional sentences and enact new mandatory minimum sentences. 410 0$aIrwin Law eLibrary. 410 0$aEssentials of Canadian law. 606 $aCriminal law$zCanada 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCriminal law 676 $a345.71 700 $aRoach$b Kent$f1961-$0522663 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910672004703321 996 $aCriminal law$93051247 997 $aUNINA
