CRIMINAL LAW
As Canada’s Criminal Code is a federal statute, criminal law is considered to be an area of
federal jurisdiction. Furthermore, there are other federal criminal enactments (e.g., the Young
Offenders Act), and quasi-criminal statutes (e.g., the Canadian Environmental Protection Act,
which contains punitive enforcements provisions). However, there are also numerous quasi-
criminal provincial statutes as well (e.g., the various highway traffic codes of the provinces).
This topic deals with the non-procedural aspects of Criminal Law. Related topics: CRIMINAL
PROCEDURE, ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, EVIDENCE (CRIMINAL), POLICE & PRIVATE SE-
CURITY LAW, SENTENCING, YOUNG OFFENDERS.
CRIMINEL (DROIT)
Branche importante du droit public de compétence fédérale exclusive, le droit criminel s’at-
tache à définir les crimes et prescrit des peines pour leur commission. Les infractions non
criminelles, tant fédérales que provinciales, relèvent du droit pénal. La PROCÉDURE PÉNALE,
la PREUVE PÉNALE, les SENTENCES et l’emprisonnement, le droit CARCÉRAL font l’objet de
rubriques distinctes, même si les plus grands ouvrages de droit criminel embrassent tous ces
sujets.
