Phone Interview: Shachi Kurl and Canadians Confidence

phone interview: Provincial criminal courts in particular lagged with a mere 44 per cent of public confidence, according to Metro News. When you have numbers close to half or below 50 to 60 per cent, that would give rise to raised eyebrows, said the institute executive director, Shachi Kurl, in a phone interview. But would you consider that a good enough average mark for your country justice system That the average level of Canadians' confidence in our courts, according to new Angus Reid Institute opinion poll. It also speaks to a sense of, 'Do we feel safe in our communities, well-protected, and have access to fairness in this country ' However, Kurl said there are two more positive findings of this year survey that outshine the negatives. Prior to 2012 … our institutions related to justice were not necessarily inspiring a lot of confidence in Canadians, she explained, citing the botched investigation of serial killer Robert Pickton and the tasering death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski in Vancouver airport. For one, the results have actually improved dramatically over time for both police and courts — particularly compared to 2012, in some cases nearly doubling in confidence since the institute first justice survey.
