Former judge Wallace G. Craig has worked in the justice system for forty-six years. He graduated from the University of British Columbia faculty of law in 1954 and practiced as an independent lawyer in downtown Vancouver from 1955 to 1975. In 1975 he was appointed to the bench of the Provincial Court of British Columbia (Vancouver Criminal Division). During his twenty-six years in court he sensed that the criminal justice system and particularly the judiciary was dispensing justice without any real sense of law and order. In his view, the criminal justice system has ceased to be a deterrent to criminal behaviour.
Following his retirement in 2001, he was released from the judicial constraint against engaging in public discussion and political comment and thereafter focused his efforts on raising public awareness about the state of the justice system.
Wallace Craig is considered an authority and thought leader in the area of law and order in our time. He offers us some thoughts and solutions with only one purpose in mind and that is to make our communities more peaceful and safe.
