Canadian criminal justice system

The Canadian criminal justice system investigates, prosecutes, and enforces laws to maintain public safety. It involves police, who apprehend suspects; the Crown Attorney, who prosecutes cases; and the courts, which determine guilt or innocence and impose sentences. The system emphasizes fundamental rights, fair trial standards, and rehabilitation. Offenses range from minor infractions to serious crimes like theft, assault, or murder. Eligible offenders may access options such as sentencing, probation, or restorative justice. Overall, it aims to uphold justice, protect society, and provide avenues for accountability and reintegration.
