Summary: Although privatization is not new, in recent decades we have witnessed an increasing return to the involvement of private, corporate actors in and the privatization of core criminal justice functions in Canada. This includes not just private security guarding, a well-documented trend since at least the 1960s, but other forms of private influence and outsourcing in the courtroom, prisons, security intelligence, and at the border as well. Yet, for the vast literature on private security that now exists in criminology, criminal justice, and sociology, very little research has explored these other areas of the criminal justice system. When one looks specifically at Canada, the academic record is even thinner. Most of the literature on private influence and privatization of criminal justice processes focuses on the United States, Britain, and Australia. Private Influences, Privatization, and Criminal Justice in Canada aims to fill these gaps in the literature by providing a comprehensive look at some of the major developments around private influence in and privatization of the Canadian criminal justice field today. The chapters in this volume will illuminate the impacts of private influence and privatization on government transparency, accountability, the administration of justice, and public debate.
