Canadian Criminal Law is a body of law that defines criminal offenses and outlines the legal processes for prosecuting those accused of crimes in Canada. It is primarily governed by the Criminal Code of Canada, which categorizes offenses into summary conviction offenses, indictable offenses, and hybrid offenses, each with different legal procedures and penalties. The legal system in Canada emphasizes the presumption of innocence, meaning that individuals are considered innocent until proven guilty. The law also ensures that accused persons have the right to a fair trial, legal representation, and the opportunity to appeal convictions, reflecting the principles of justice and due process.
