SUMMARY |
|
|
|
At present the Criminal Code provides that a court must, in imposing
a sentence, take into account the principle that imprisonment should,
within reason, be seen as a last resort, especially for Aboriginal
offenders. With this enactment the court is no longer mandated to give
such special consideration to aboriginal offenders.
