Document Summary

Cjs cannot do everything, its a lot to manage. Comprehensive review and reform of cjs needed. Shift to empirical research and promising practices. Victims of crime experience trauma ( varies based on crime, dramatized by the crime) Revictimization thru cjs (when the victim says it aloud they may relive it and that may harm them again) Crown takes the role of the victim. Exclusion from decisions ( hurting the victim because they feel they dont think their voice is being heard) Exclusionary rule (without reasonable grounds it will be excluded from the court, illegally detained that can also be thrown out) Criminal behaviour deviates from socially prescribed norms: Deviance refers to human behaviours or actions that are considered by others to be wrong, bad, or inappropriate . Deviance and criminality are more than just acts. It is based off of an assumed social norm.
