Abstract
The defence of duress in Canadian criminal law has been described by scholars and judges as a “complicated mess,” “[o]ften confusing and potentially gendered,” and “irrational, anomalous, perverse, illogical and fundamentally wrong.” The most recent Supreme Court of Canada case to attempt to bring clarity to the embattled duress defence, R v Ryan (“Ryan”), is the focus of Nadia Verrelli and Lori Chambers’ No Legal Way Out: R v Ryan, Domestic Abuse, and the Defence of Duress (“No Legal Way Out”).
学者和法官将加拿大刑法中对胁迫的辩护描述为“复杂的混乱”,“常常令人困惑,可能带有性别色彩”,“非理性、反常、反常、不合逻辑,根本上是错误的”。加拿大最高法院最近的一个案件试图澄清陷入困境的胁迫辩护,R v Ryan(“Ryan”),这是Nadia Verrelli和Lori Chambers的《无法律出路:R v Ryan,家庭虐待和胁迫辩护》(“无法律出路”)的重点。
