Wiese was stabbed seven times, another partygoer was severely wounded, and several others were assaulted. Jazlyn Radke, who was 17 years old at the time, was found guilty of second- degree murder, two counts of assault, and one count of aggravated assault for her role in the offences. According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (2015), Radke had been kicked out of the party but she “refused to go and was scream- Mitchell Harkes, the 19-year-old who was sentenced to ing, swearing and swinging at partygoers before life imprisonment along with Radke, is shown here being vowing to return.” arrested.

Why do we hold punitive feelings toward young people who commit serious and violent crimes? Youth Justice in Canada 3 INTRODUCTION It is not uncommon for youth to engage in some minor criminal offe ces such as shoplifting, theft, vandalism, trespassing, drug use, or mis- chief. In addition, there are a variety of actions that are considered lawful for adults but not for youth, such as drinking alcohol, gambling, run- ning away from home, skipping classes, or buying tobacco products. Young people caught engaging in these acts are rarely arrested, but the police will typically caution them or bring them home to face their parents. Many officers are reluctant to go through with an arrest because of the lifelong consequences an arrest or conviction can have on an individual, including for minor offe ces. Even supporters of “tough on crime” punishments are often sympathetic toward young people who have committed minor offe ces. As a result, justice sys- tem officials have developed alternative measures programs to divert young minor offe ders from the formal justice system. Our positive or sympathetic feelings toward youth are challenged by young people who have Photo Hansen/iStock Shane Vincent © repeatedly appeared before the courts and con- A police officer arrests a female youth in this photo. tinue to reoffe d.

When assessing the seriousness of youth crime, we can also consider the youth Crime Severity Index, which is shown in Figure 3. This figure shows that the volume and severity of youth crime (overall) and violent youth crime have been decreasing since 1998 (Allen & Superle, 2016). Although Figures 1 to 3 represent all youth crimes, the public is also very concerned about homicide rates. The number of youth aged 12 to 17 years accused of homicide is presented in Figure 4. The homicide rate fluctuated during the 30 years from 1983 to 2013, but it has been on a down- ward trend since 2009.

There were no survivors among the 329 passengers and crew members. There was unanimous official opinion among authorities that an inflight breakup caused by an explosion in the forward cargo compartment occurred. Based on the direct, tangible and circumstantial evidence of four similar accidents as described in six aircraft accident reports and using the benefit of hindsight, the conclusion of this investigator and author of this report is that the probable cause of the accident to Air India Flight 182 was faulty wiring shorting on the door unlatch motor causing the forward cargo door to inadvertently rupture open in flight probably at one or both of the midspan latches leading to an explosion of explosive decompression in the forward cargo compartment and subsequent aircraft breakup.

Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia).

  • Compensation for Wrongful Convictions: a Study Towards an Effective Regime of Tort Liability
    Compensation for Wrongful Convictions: A study towards an effective regime of tort liability by Laura Patricia Mijares A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws Graduate Department of Faculty of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Laura Patricia Mijares 2012 Compensation for Wrongful Convictions: A study towards an effective regime of tort liability Laura Patricia Mijares Master of Laws Graduate Department of Faculty of Law University of Toronto 2012 Abstract How would you feel if after having spent many years incarcerated for a crime that you did not commit and when finally you are released to a broken life where there is nobody to respond effectively to all the damages that you have and that you will continue to endure due to an unfortunate miscarriage of justice? In Canada, compensation for wrongful convictions is a legal issue which has yet to find a solution for those who the government has denied to pay compensation for and the damages such wrongful conviction brought to their lives. This thesis will analyze the legal problem of compensation for wrongful convictions in Canada from a tort law perspective and will present an alternative to the existing regime to serve justice to those who have been victims of miscarriages of justice. ii Acknowledgments A new start is never easy. Actually, I believe that starting a new life in this country represents a challenge from which one expects to learn, but overall, to succeed. In my journey of challenges, and especially in this one, I would like to thank the persons whose effort made this challenge a successful one.

  • Advocate for Wrongly Convicted, David Milgaard Fights to Keep Innocent out of ‘Cages’”
    Networked Knowledge Media Reports Networked Knowledge Canada Homepage This page set up by Dr Robert N Moles On 2 OCTOBER 2014 Valerie Fortney of the Calgary Herald reported “Advocate for wrongly convicted, David Milgaard fights to keep innocent out of ‘cages’”. David Milgaard, who spent 23 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit, spoke at the John Howard Society in Calgary on Thursday as part of the first Wrongful Conviction Day. Photograph by: Leah Hennel David Milgaard is not by definition an angry man. “I love my life,” says the youthful 62-year-old, who has called Calgary home for the past six years. “I’m grateful for everything I have today.” Stir his memories, though, and the old demons rush over him like an ocean wave. “I had trouble sitting with some men recently who were wrongfully convicted,” he says. “I wish to say that anger isn’t there, but it is there.” Despite the unwelcome emotions such encounters trigger, Milgaard — who spent more than 23 years in a Canadian prison for a crime he didn’t commit — stands outside the John Howard Society on Thursday morning, the featured speaker at a press conference launching the first Wrongful Conviction Day. Together with his long time lawyer Greg Rodin, who also lives in Calgary, Milgaard speaks passionately to the gathered media about the issues surrounding the wrongly convicted. “We cannot let innocent people be disqualified from life, from beauty,” he says. “In our Canadian prisons right now, we have wrongly convicted men, we have wrongly convicted women and, in some cases, children, sitting still right now inside cages.” The new day of recognition is being hosted by the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted, a national non-profit organization that grew out of the Justice for Guy Paul Morin Committee.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be al1 owed without my written permission. Department of History The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date October 6. 1976. ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the ways in which the Irish-Catholic popula• tion of Canada was perceived and described by the newspapers of mid- Victorian Toronto and Montreal. A study of the leading political and religious journals at mid-century demonstrates the prolonged existence in Canada of hostile feelings towards the immigrant community, based both on Protestant aversion to Catholicism and on stereotypes of Irish character in general. The thesis argues that these antagonisms and un• favourable images were identified by the Irish community as contributing to its lack of economic, social and political progress. In defence against the hostility which they detected at all levels of society, and which was especially apparent in the vocabulary of disparagement and abuse with which Irish affairs were reported in Canadian newspapers, Irish-Catholics maintained a distinct and self-conscious sense of national community.
