SENTENCING

According to the federal Criminal Code, sentences are imposed upon those convicted of criminal

infractions with the intention of expressing society’s denunciation of the crime, deterring the

transgressor from further similar activity, promoting in the offenders a sense of responsibility

for their malfeasance, and assisting in the offender’s rehabilitation. There is a signif‌icant body

of law, entirely federal and predominantly statutory, which directs judges in the formulation

of sentences. Related topics: CRIMINAL LAW, CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, HUMAN RIGHTS

AND THE CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, YOUNG OFFENDERS.

SENTENCES

Les sentences sont des décisions punitives prises par les tribunaux en DROIT CRIMINEL ou en

droit pénal. Certaines dimensions relèvent de la PROCÉDURE PÉNALE. Les conditions d’exé-

cution de ces sentences peuvent relever du droit CARCÉRAL.
