Abstract

Abstract This paper argues that patterns of pervasive police violence can and should be treated as organizational crime in Canada. It uses the documented events of police violence in Val d’Or, Quebec, that emerged in 2015 to show how a similar fact pattern might fit all of the elements of organizational crime as defined in the Criminal Code. The article also suggests that this is an example where legal imagination is important, in order to shift our collective understanding of what organizational crime is and where it occurs.

警察暴力作为组织犯罪

摘要本文认为，在加拿大，普遍存在的警察暴力模式可以而且应该被视为有组织犯罪。它使用了2015年在魁北克Val d 'Or出现的警察暴力事件的记录，以说明类似的事实模式如何适用于《刑法》中定义的有组织犯罪的所有要素。这篇文章还指出，这是一个法律想象力很重要的例子，为了改变我们对有组织犯罪是什么以及它发生在哪里的集体理解。
