		<title>Missing Women Commission of Inquiry: Rossmo Vindicated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was gratifying indeed to read former Vancouver mayor Philip Owen&#8217;s written apology to Dr. Kim Rossmo, acknowledging that his criticisms of this courageous and principled criminologist were &#8220;unfounded, inaccurate and misleading&#8221;. During the years when an inordinate number of sex trade workers were disappearing from the grimy streets of the Downtown Eastside, then VPD [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quebec Leads the Way on Corruption&#8230; In More Ways Than one.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A welcome announcement by the Charest government, with its recent introduction of the first multi-disciplinary anti-corruption squad in Canada.  It&#8217;s about time. The public is generally unaware of the dominance of the Quebec Mafia on the world stage. The Rizzuto family, originally from Sicily before becoming established in Canada several generations ago, has been the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Encouraging Signs on the Mental Illness Front</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is cause for renewed hope this week, led by Bell Canada&#8217;s &#8220;Let&#8217;s Talk&#8221; campaign and our indomitable Olympian Clara Hughes. As a close observer of the societal impact of mental illness over a thirty year policing career, I am thrilled to support these efforts by our community, corporate and political leaders to de-stigmatize what [...]]]></description>

		<title>William Elliott: A Failed Experiment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A predictable outcome I suppose, with the first civilian RCMP Commissioner falling flat on his face in full view of the Canadian public in recent months. It would appear to me that the fact he was a civilian had far less to do with this result than his deep personal issues with people in general. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hell’s Angels Infiltrator Comments on B.C.’s Organized Crime Scene</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Special Agent Jay Dobyns had everyone&#8217;s attention in the room at an Anti-Gang Conference held in Vancouver last week. An investigator for the U.S. Dept of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATFE), Dobyns lived the life of a Hell&#8217;s Angel for two years while gathering evidence against both the organization and the membership within. Most [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cameras in Courtrooms – Yes or No?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not that simple. In this information age, society needs to carefully consider a number of possible outcomes before taking a position on the issue of cameras in courtrooms. As the digital revolution continues to grow and information is delivered in real time, the media demand for public education, openness and transparency becomes more intense [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dubious Assertions by RCMP Commissioner Elliott</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was more of the same repetitive gruel served up by Commissioner William Elliott in an interview held on January 7th, in Ottawa. While he may well be correct in his assertion that &#8220;there are far more things that are right about the RCMP than are wrong&#8220;, he vehemently rejects the suggestion by SFU Criminology [...]]]></description>

		<title>Basi and Virk: Payment of Legal Fees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Public Needs to Know. In his opinion piece in the January 11th edition of The Province, Michael Smyth hits it out of the park.  As B.C. Liberal leadership hopefuls George Abbott and Mike de Jong square off on the issue of the $6 million plea bargain deal that put a sudden stop to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reyat Gets Nine Years for Perjury</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally! A sentence reflective of the impact perjury has on our criminal justice system. In my previous post on July 8, 2010, I lamented the fact that judges seem overly accepting that perjury is just par for the course during litigation.  I commented on the need for it to be vigorously investigated in each instance.

		<title>Great Leadership Shown by B.C. Court of Appeal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There were some very encouraging signals from B.C.&#8217;s highest court last week.  Readers may recall my Dec 7, 2009 post regarding the &#8220;Smiling Judge&#8221; Peter Leask, announcing that Hell&#8217;s Angels members Randy Potts and John Punko did not meet the definition of &#8220;working on behalf of or in association with a criminal organization&#8221;.  That decision [...]]]></description>
