("These courts adjudicate bail, conduct trials, and sentence offenders, but they do so by integrating specialized Aboriginal knowledge to produce alternative understandings of an Aboriginal accused so that bail orders and sentences conform to the intent of the R. v. Gladue decision. To ensure adherence to Gladue principles, the court is presented with information that locates an Aboriginal defendant’s behaviour within collective histories and experiences of oppression.")

Comment: I wish I could link to an easily accessible copy of the Banks source, but besides this Google Books copy, there's not much better I can do. Despite the length of this article, there aren't that many hook-y facts in it, so I welcome alt suggestions.

This substantial and well-written article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either of the proposed hooks could be used, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:16, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
