In fact, many states in the past heavily relied on snitches to be there eyes and ears, for example being a snitch for the Ussr was something to be proud of. Opposite of the Ussr, individuals like Falcone killed his son for snitching, this always leaves a dark stain on families honour. Although, with our snitch culture we praise people who risk their lives to bring in criminals but when they do the same for political stances they are in the

    How would you feel if you defected to another country and spent the rest of your life under Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) protection out of fear of Soviet reprisals? This is exactly what Igor Sergeyevich Gouzenko faced in September of 1945 when he and his family defected to Canada. Igor Gouzenko stole over 100 documents that he had accumulated from his time working as a cipher clerk at the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa, Canada.

  • Canadian Policing Essay

    1914 Words  | 4 Pages

    Policing in Canada is much different from many other nations due to the rich cultural diversity that Canada is blessed with having. The discussion on policing in a multicultural society must be viewed as a much more political question on how to respond to diversity (Ben-Porat, 2007). Policing has a problem when minority groups feel alienated from the Police or when they feel that the police are enforcing discriminating policies and unjust laws (Ben-Porat, 2007). There are many examples in Canada of racial biases on the side of the police. Recently the RCMP commissioner Bob Paulson made a public address acknowledging racial bias in Canadian Policing (Ireland, 2016). Unfortunately, credibility and legitimacy of the police among different minority groups in Canada has yet to be met due to these groups feeling that they have been unfairly treated (Ben-Porat, 2007). Most police agencies in Canada now have some form of diversity training relating to specific minority groups. Another thing that some of Canadas police agencies have done

  • Canada Crime Rate Case Study

    1229 Words  | 3 Pages

    For more than a decade, crime rates in Canada have been declared as steadily declining in correlation to the published rates of Police Reported Crime (PRC). Whilst there is the argument that the crime rates in Canada is factually falling, there is an armada of hypotheses that would disagree. For an individual to make a statement of how to maintain this trend, it would mean they would first need to be in agreement with the proposal that the cause of shrinking crime rates are due to the actions of the Canadian Justice System. In order to continue to be a successful justice system, Canada would benefit most by relying on old and new methods that both stand by important values, and adapt to current crime trends and effective punishments. This paper seeks to explore the various components linked to crime rates as well as make recommendations on how to maintain the trend Canada is seeking.
