Record 2 2016-02-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Practice and Procedural Law
CONT

In resolving conflicts within the family, between landlords and tenants, businessmen and customers, or management and labour, citizens and police have always been reluctant to use the full force of the criminal law. This absorption of crime by the community, police screening of cases out of the criminal justice system, settling of incidents at the pre-trial level, or using sanctions other than imprisonment are examples of what is commonly referred to as diversion.

OBS

When "diversion" is used to refer to such a wide range of functions as indicated above, care is needed in specifying just what type of diversion is under discussion. No one definition of diversion seems capable of comprehending everything done in its name.

Key term(s)
  • diversionary measures
  • diversionary measure

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit judiciaire
CONT

La police et les citoyens ont toujours hésité à faire appel aux dernières ressources du droit pénal pour résoudre les conflits entre divers membres d'une même famille, entre propriétaires et locataires, vendeurs et clients ou direction et employés. L'appellation "déjudiciarisation" désignera donc les incidents réglés à l'intérieur de la collectivité, les affaires non transmises à la justice par la police, les conciliations intervenues avant le procès, ou l'imposition de peines autres que les peines d'emprisonnement.

OBS

On peut juger de ce qui précède que le terme "déjudiciarisation" recouvre un grand nombre de notions différentes et il faudra prendre soin chaque fois de préciser quelle est celle que l'on entend examiner. Il ne semble pas que l'on puisse trouver une définition unique de ce terme, capable d'englober toutes les notions qu'il recouvre.

OBS

La déjudiciarisation de l'arbitrage des griefs, 1996, Les éditions Blais inc., par Rodrique Blouin, 500 pages.

English

Subject field(s)
  • General Conduct of Military Operations

DEF

Assistance provided by the CF [Canadian Forces] to federal or provincial law enforcement agencies upon their request, with respect to any law enforcement matter.

OBS

Assistance to law-enforcement agencies is always governed by a legal instrument(e. g., National Defence Act, Order in Council or memorandum of understanding). It is always provided in a supporting role to the federal or provincial police force of jurisdiction, which retains full responsibility for law enforcement. The assistance provided may be armed or unarmed and is usually based on a unique or special skill or equipment that is only available from the CF [Canadian Forces].

OBS

assistance to law-enforcement agencies; ALEA: term, abbreviation and definition officially approved by the Joint Terminology Panel, the Army Terminology Panel and the Defence Terminology Standardization Board.

Assistance en matière de maintien de l’ordre que les FC [Forces canadiennes] fournissent sur demande aux agences de maintien de l’ordre fédérales ou provinciales.

OBS

L’assistance aux agences de maintien de l’ordre est toujours régie par un document légal (p. ex. Loi sur la défense nationale, Décret du Conseil privé ou protocole d’entente). Elle est également toujours fournie à titre de soutien à la force ou autorité policière fédérale ou provinciale, laquelle demeure entièrement responsable du maintien de l’ordre. Cette assistance peut être armée ou non et relève habituellement d’une compétence ou d’un matériel spécial ou unique que seules les FC [Forces canadiennes] possèdent.

OBS
