Law professor Colton Fehr also puts forward various reform recommendations and criticisms of current doctrine. He contends that the judicial development of section 12 and its methodology for proving an infringement provide a principled framework upon which to consider a variety of issues that are sure to come before the courts including the consideration of the constitutionality of various minimum sentences and other methods of treatment used in Canadian prisons. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a concise and accessible manner, \u003cem\u003eCruel and Unusual\u003c\/em\u003e is tailored to both law students seeking to develop an understanding of this complex area of law and jurists seeking to apply and develop this important constitutional right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colton Fehr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1049801717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781049801711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Irwin Law\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Colton Fehr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965571252479,"sku":"9781049801711","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75aa339a-2715-4a8f-bf7c-655972833f29.jpg?v=1767281440","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cruel-and-unusual-colton-fehr-9781049801711","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
