The Immorality of our Crime Policy

scales-of-justice

In light of Bill C-10 (the omnibus crime bill introduced by the Conservative Party of Canada), this presentation will explore the evolution of punishment in our criminal justice system, covering themes such as rehabilitation, proportionality, and restorative justice. Greenspan will address the difficulties in restoring the values in our justice system.

Edward L. Greenspan has been practicing throughout Canada since 1970.  He is probably one of Canada’s best known defence lawyers with a strong commitment to public education in the law and an activist advocate in areas that pertain to developments in criminal law.  He is the author of Greenspan: The Case for Defence.  In 1986, he left the practice for some time to travel across the country and debate successfully against the return of the death penalty.

    About Noor Cultural Centre

    We aim to be a centre for Islamic practice and learning, and celebration of Islamic culture, while respecting the diversity in peoples and religions as directed by the Qur’an [49.13]: We have created you out of male and female, and have made you into nations and tribes, in order that you might come to know one another. In the sight of God the noblest among you is the one who is most deeply conscious of God.

    NOTE: Noor Cultural Centre no longer maintains a physical location

    Its 123 Wynford Drive location was sold in October 2021 after 18 months of continuous lockdown for COVID-19. Since March 2020, all Noor programming has been virtual, and is planned to continue thus, insh'Allah.
