Do we need more cops or something else? Harm reduction or treatment? Does incarceration reduce crime or make things worse? The debate about Canada’s criminal justice system has rarely been so polarized – or so in need of fresh ideas. Join Benjamin Perrin, a UBC law professor, as he shares the latest research on the challenges facing the criminal justice system and fresh ideas for a new transformative justice vision from his upcoming book, Indictment: The Criminal Justice System on Trial (University of Toronto Press, October 2023). Indictment has been hailed as “revolutionary” and named one of Indigo’s Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2023.
