Abstract:
Mandatory sentencing tools have received a great deal of attention lately as the federal government continues to promote law-and-order legislation in response to the public's perception that Canada's criminal sentencing regime is overly lenient with offenders. This legislation has met with fierce criticism from members of the media and academia, and increasingly inventive attempts to subvert it by the judiciary.
