This updated second edition of Diversity, Crime, and Justice in Canada provides a comprehensive overview of the intersections between diversity, crime, and the justice system in Canada. It examines various forms of diversity, including race, ethnicity, social class, gender, and sexual orientation, and how these intersect with crime, victimization, and justice responses.
Drawing from extensive research and data, the book highlights the unique experiences and challenges faced by diverse groups in the Canadian criminal justice system. Key topics explored include:
- The over-representation of racialized and marginalized groups in the justice system
- The disproportionate rates of violence, victimization, and incarceration experienced by Indigenous peoples
- The impact of poverty and social exclusion on crime and justice outcomes
- The role of gender and sexual orientation in crime and victimization
- The challenges and opportunities for creating a more inclusive and equitable criminal justice system
