JustResearch Edition no. 13
Upcoming Issue of JustResearch
We are now accepting submissions for the next Issue of JustResearch on the broad theme of New and Emerging Justice Issues . There have been a number of new areas of research within the Department of Justice Canada , as well as within the broader justice research community, that would fit well within this theme. Recent examples include trafficking in persons, identity theft, new Criminal Code offences [e.g., luring a child (s. 172.1)], human genetics and privacy issues, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, marijuana grow-operations, criminal interest rates, and same-sex marriage. This list, however, is by no means exhaustive. There are numerous other research areas that would fit well within this theme.
If you would like to submit an article, please refer to the Submission Guidelines for Prospective Authors on page 2 and then send your contribution electronically to jlatimer@justice.gc.ca by the appropriate deadline.
Working Documents Initiative
From time to time the Research and Statistics Division undertakes research that does not make it to the formal stage of a publication. There is still much value in these past works and great utility in making them available to a broader audience. To that end, and in recognition of the public expenditure on these efforts, these works will be made available publicly in their present format and language. Short summary descriptions of these reports will appear on our website following announcements in JustResearch and full text copies will be made available upon request to the Research and Statistics Division. These reports remain the views of their authors and in no way represent the views of the Department of Justice Canada or the Government of Canada.
Under this "working documents" initiative the following three reports are currently available:
- The Size of the Underground Economy: A Review of the Estimates by Professor Stephen Easton and N. Veldhuis, Department of Economics, Simon Fraser University.
- Researching Evidence of Hate Propaganda inCanada: A Conceptual Report by Dr. E. Faulkner, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Windsor .
- Drawing the Line: Responses to Hate Crimes and Bias Activities in Canada, Survey of Legal and Extra-Legal Recommendations by Professor A. M. Field, Department of Political Science, Carleton University .
