The Role of Crown Prosecutors in Child Advocacy Centres in Canada

Description

Given the legal and practical constraints of the role of the prosecutor in CACs across jurisdictions in Canada, the aim of the current project was to explore how these relationships are currently being navigated and to document the variety of approaches to the Crown/CAC relationship. There is a general lack of research on Canadian CACs (see McDonald, Scrim, & Rooney, 2013), and little is known about how the Crown are currently operating within or alongside Canadian CACs. Thus, semi-structured interviews were undertaken with Crown prosecutors who worked closely with CACs across Canada to document their experiences and perspectives.
