#MeToo. Black Lives Matter. Decriminalize Drugs. No More Stolen
Sisters. Stop Stranger Attacks. Do we need more cops or to defund
police? Harm reduction or treatment? Tougher sentences or prison
abolition? The debate about Canada’s criminal justice system has
rarely been so polarized – or so in need of fresh ideas.
Indictment brings the heart-rending and captivating stories of
survivors and offenders alike to the forefront to help us
understand why the criminal justice system is facing such an
existential crisis. Benjamin Perrin draws on his expertise as a
lawyer, former top criminal justice advisor to the prime minister,
and law clerk at the Supreme Court of Canada to investigate the
criminal justice system itself. Indictment critiques the system
from a trauma-informed perspective, examining its treatment of
victims of crime, Indigenous people and Black Canadians, people
with substance use and mental health disorders, and people
experiencing homelessness, poverty, and unemployment. Perrin also
shares insights from others on the frontlines, including
prosecutors and defence lawyers, police chiefs, Indigenous leaders,
victim support workers, corrections officers, public health
experts, gang outreach workers, prisoner and victims’ rights
advocates, criminologists, psychologists, and leading trauma
experts. Bringing forward the voices of marginalized people, along
with their stories of survival and resilience, Indictment shows
that a better way is possible.
