This six-part resource guide starts off by exploring the over-representation of Indigenous Peoples in the criminal legal system. Then, it looks at the key aspects and application of Gladue, a set of legal principles that consider Indigenous offenders’ circumstances at sentencing.
Note: This guide is designed to go with Indigenous Peoples and the Criminal Legal System, a new module in The Path.
