Description
Bad Law: Rethinking Justice for a Postcolonial Canada by John Reilly explores the Canadian justice system and its treatment of Indigenous people. Reilly examines an approach to justice that often increases crime rather than reducing it, and presents a radically different indigenous approach that is restorative rather than retributive. He draws on extensive evidence, including historical cases, to argue for a gentler and more effective process used by Indigenous peoples. This book offers a thought-provoking interrogation of the Canadian justice system, with all the colour and anecdotal savour that comes from an author who has spent years watching it unfold.
