Reckoning with Racism - Police, Judges, and the RDS Case (Hardcover)
Series: Landmark Cases in Canadian Law

In 1994, a white police officer arrested a Black teenager, placed
him in a choke-hold, and charged him with assault and obstructing
arrest. In acquitting the teen, Judge Corrine Sparks - Canada's
first Black female judge - remarked that police sometimes
overreacted when dealing with non-white youth. The acquittal was
appealed and ultimately upheld, but most of the white judges who
reviewed the decision critiqued Sparks's comments. Reckoning with
Racism considers the RDS case, in which the Supreme Court of Canada
fumbled over its first complaint of judicial racial bias. This is
an enthralling account of the country's most momentous race case.
