The television spectacles of Oka and the Rodney King affair
served to focus public disaffection with the police, a disaffection
that has been growing for several years. In Canada, confidence in
the police is at an all-time low. At the same time crime rates
continue to rise. Canada now has the dubious distinction of having
the second highest crime rate in the Western world.
How did this state of affairs come about? What do we want from
our police? How do we achieve policing that is consistent with the
Charter of Rights and Freedoms? The essays in this volume set out
to explore these questions. In their introduction, the editors
point out that constitutional order is tied to the exercise of
power by law enforcement agencies, and that if relations between
the police and civil society continue to erode, the exercise of
force will rise - a dangerous prospect for democratic
societies.
