Ableism is deeply entrenched within Canadian criminal justice institutions, policies, and practices, posing significant risks to the well-being and lives of disabled individuals. The consequences of incarceration and institutionalization are particularly perilous for those with disabilities, as they exacerbate existing vulnerabilities and expose them to heightened dangers. Disability Injustice, a groundbreaking collection of scholarly and activist contributions, delves into the multifaceted aspects of disability within the Canadian criminal justice system. The book explores challenging topics such as eugenics, crime control measures, the pathologization of difference as deviance, discriminatory criminalization based on subjective assessments of physical and mental health, and the crucial role of disability justice activism in challenging longstanding discrimination and exclusion. By intertwining disability and sociolegal studies, criminology, and law, Disability Injustice offers a comprehensive examination of disability in various contexts, including policing and surveillance, sentencing and court proceedings, prisons and other carceral spaces, and alternative forms of detention. Through its provocative insights, the book highlights the urgent need for a deeper understanding of disability to challenge the practices of crime control and the processes of criminalization. By advocating for inclusive and equitable policies and practices, Disability Injustice contributes to the ongoing struggle for justice and equality for all individuals, regardless of their abilities or disabilities.
