The Annotated Criminal Code En Version Quebecois: Signs Of Territoriality In Canadian Criminal Law, Nicholas Kasirer Oct 1990

The Annotated Criminal Code En Version Quebecois: Signs Of Territoriality In Canadian Criminal Law, Nicholas Kasirer

Dalhousie Law Journal

Why bother annotating the Criminal Code? At first blush the answer seems as plain to the casual reader as it did to Sir Charles: judges and others join Parliament in making criminal law. Indeed, despite the promise implicit in its short title, the Criminal Code is no more than An Act respecting the Criminal Law - a near-code which was and is a boat designed to be full of holes, to the great comfort of those standing by as it was launched in 1892 and, to a lesser extent, those hard at work bailing it out today. Today's Code admits …

The Ker-Frisbie Doctrine: A Jurisdictional Weapon In The War On Drugs, Andrew B. Campbell Jan 1990

The Ker-Frisbie Doctrine: A Jurisdictional Weapon In The War On Drugs, Andrew B. Campbell

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Note addresses the ongoing use of extra legal apprehension, as applied under "Ker v. Illinois" and "Frisbie v. Collins," as a viable alternative to extradition in obtaining custody over those accused of exporting drugs to the United States. The author outlines the cultural and political reasons for the production of illicit drugs, examines the purposes and structures of formal extradition treaties and their effectiveness in bringing drug traffickers to trial, and considers the alternatives to formal extradition. The author concludes that extralegal apprehension, in both of its two forms--abduction and irregular rendition--should remain an alternative means of securing custody …

In response to such failings, this Article recommends, as an alternative to a drug-policy based on law enforcement, a measured and carefully implemented program of drug decriminalization based on the public health system. An alternate name for this policy is "medicalization."
