Disability injustice: confronting criminalization in Canada / Kelly Fritsch
KM208.5.F75 2022
Click here to view this title in the catalogue
Ableism is embedded in Canadian criminal justice institutions, policies, and practices, making incarceration and institutionalization dangerous – even deadly – for disabled people. Disability Injustice brings together highly original work by a range of scholars and activists to explore disability in the historical and contemporary Canadian criminal justice system.
The contributors confront challenging topics such as eugenics and crime control; the pathologizing of difference as deviance within criminal law systems; processes of criminalization based on discretionary, biased approaches to physical and mental health; and the role of disability justice activism in contesting longstanding discrimination and exclusion. Weaving together disability and sociolegal studies, criminology, and law, they examine disability in relation to various agencies and aspects of the criminal justice system. Policing and surveillance, sentencing and the courts, prisons and other carceral spaces, and alternatives to confinement are among the areas of focus.

In Corporate Governance and the New Technology, Alberto Salazar explores a new and evolving area of law which is quickly becoming a key element in the effective governance of corporations.

Written in a simple and straight-forward tone, Corporate Governance and the New Technology focuses on the duties of directors and officers associated with the use of the new technology. It provides a clear introductory overview of the conceptual framework governing that area of law while offering primary updated authorities such as legislation, court decisions, and rule proposals from several jurisdictions as well as some secondary authorities.
