LAW120 - Criminal Law and the Charter

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms has exerted a major and ongoing impact on law enforcement in Canada through its emphasis on individual rights, and especially those of an accused person.  This has compelled police services to be meticulous in their adherence to procedures such as providing information to an accused person, obtaining evidence and conducting searches in a manner sanctioned by statute and precedent law.  In this foundational course in Police Foundations, students consider the basis of criminal law, along with examining the principles and purposes of the Charter.   Students review examples of charter breaches and consider the role of law enforcement agencies in protecting the rights of the individual citizen while balancing their responsibilities to protect communities and individuals from criminal activity.   Students consider the key elements of criminal law in Canada and the Criminal Code is introduced with regard to its purposes, structure, format and use. Key concepts regarding criminal responsibility and defences to criminal charges are analyzed and discussed through the use of critical cases across the course.

LAW130 - Criminal Justice and Community Services

The maintenance of social control and order is fundamental to any contemporary society and is exercised through a system of justice. The administration of justice encompasses numerous agencies, all of which interact both formally and informally. The system is applied by three main public sector agencies, the police, the courts and corrections, along with several other public and private sector agencies, including community and volunteer services. The justice system is dynamic and attempts to reflect the wishes of society, but often leads to opposing views in its application. This course examines the various discourses, roles, responsibilities, and interrelated relationships of these agencies and organizations in the application of the criminal justice system, community services, and restorative justice.

LAW140 - Interviewing and Communications in Law Enforcement

The majority of crimes are solved through the routine task of interviewing witnesses, victims and suspects.
