Abstract
This research was done regarding how mandatory minimum sentences can be considered "cruel and unusual punishment" under section 12 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms for Indigenous offenders. The overarching argument being the intended use of s.718.2(e) of the Canadian Criminal Code when it was established to help ameliorate the damage caused to Canadian Indigenous communities and the creation of their intergenerational trauma due to colonialism, residential schools and more. This research was conducted through a systematic review of primary and secondary sources including government websites, Indigenous run historical websites, Canadian Supreme Court cases, Provincial Court cases and more. |
