Abstract

The fundamental principle behind sentencing in most jurisdictions is the idea of proportionality. Although the concept of proportionality is found in the Criminal Code, it existed as touchstone for judges well before it was formally placed in the Code in 1996 as part of a comprehensive set of sentencing principles in Bill C-41.
