Irregular immigration in general, especially in relation to the exploitation of human being, as is the case with trafficking of people, is a great concern in many countries such as Canada. In 2002, Canada ratified the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. The majority of measures adopted by Canada in the fight against trafficking target migration control and the criminalization of traffickers, relegating the protection and assistance victims of trafficking to a secondary. In addition, several of these measures can victimize and even criminalize the victims. Temporary Resident Permits developed by Canada for victims of trafficking appear, from a victimological perspective, to be a step in the right direction. However, in practice, this measure is ineffective in reaching victims. This article presents, from a victimology and legal perspective, the progress and the gaps in legislation and the Canadian policy of protection and assistance to victims of trafficking.

AbstractThe street youth phenomena is an international and historical reality. It concerns all social classes, girls as well as boys and also even appears in social contexts where strict rules are applied. The study conducted in Montreal made use of anthropological fieldwork techniques. This article focuses on the street youth coping strategies. These young people pattern their attitudes on the relationship they had within their own family. Violence, abandonment and escape are expressed through the type of supplying relations, discontinuous relations, make-believes and instability.

This article tackles the paradoxical notion of poetic novelization by studying two poetry books written in French in the 2000's: Vivre sa vie : une novellisation en vers du film de Jean-Luc Godard by Jan Baetens and Flip-Book by Jérôme Game. Although both books share the same principle –narrating films–, I will show that they are in fact very different in the way they envision the relationship between literature and film: by differentiation or by imitation.

This article concerns the circulation of money in Putain by Nelly Arcan (2001). Money is paid to the sex-worker by clients for sexual services rendered, and she then pays a part of that money to the agency which rents and maintains the room in which she works. What does she, who claims to be earning “a lot of money,” do with the rest? In order to maintain her value on the high-priced escort market, Cynthia has to invest in the production of femininity, handing over money to other men (owners of large companies, plastic surgeons, etc.). However, the sex-worker also takes on other expenses that lead her to convert her erotic capital into symbolic capital.

In late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Saint-Henri, the street was a contested space. The local elite's municipal management of public space conflicted with the popular social use of the streets, both in the design and promotion of the main commercial street, rue Notre-Dame, and in the moral regulation of street behaviour. Political negotiation was limited to male property owners, for restrictions on the municipal franchise in a bourgeois liberal democracy excluded most women, many tenants, and all street vagrants. Mounting public debt resulting from the promotional politics of expropriation and bonusing incited popular resistance and, in 1905, led to annexation to the city of Montreal. The local elite directed the use of public space in ways that conformed with their private perspectives. Local by-laws and policing efforts largely succeeded in eliminating or displacing criminal and disruptive behaviour on rue Notre-Dame by day, but nightly disturbances and illicit activities were common on adjoining residential streets, in hidden areas, and in the neighbouring community of Sainte-Cunégonde. A wider range of primary sources, including photographs and sketches, are crucial to disclosing the class and gendered nature of street life.

This paper deals with the legal approach to homosexuality throughout history, focussing on Roman law, French law up to the Revolution, English law till the mid-60's and finally, Canadian law from the French period up to the amendments to the Criminal Code in 1969. What lessons can be drawn from this analysis? A first conclusion is the increasing intolerance towards homosexuals as evidenced by laws that become more and more preoccupied with private morality and control of individual behaviour. Here, we notice the inverse trend in the Roman law tradition and the common law one, where cultural and religious differences explain much of this curious evolution. A second conclusion is the link established between deviant behaviour and all forms of « deviance » from official policies-thus, accusations of homosexuality are to be found in troubled periods of religious (heresies) and political turmoil. Finally, one notes that although the Medieval period is often considered as being particularly cruel in its treatment of homosexuals, this view would need important qualifications in light of the 20th century treatment of such persons, witness of course, the Nazi extermination.

AbstractPsychotropic drugs such as cocaine can act as a stimulant on the central nervous system and alter sexual responses and behaviour. Several studies have suggested a relation between the effects of cocaine and sexuality ; however, the results remain contradictory in regard to its positive and negative effects. In this exploratory study, the impact of psychotropic drugs, including cocaine, on sexuality was observed among 33 participants who frequent a drug addiction rehabilitation centre. Correlations were made between various aspects of their consumption, including the duration, method of administration, quantity and frequency of their use and various aspects of their sexuality, particularly fantasies, sexual satisfaction, atypical sexual behaviour and criminality. The results show significant correlations between the consumption variable and those related to sexual satisfaction, atypical behaviour and criminality. More specifically, the results suggest that an increase in the duration of the consumption or the quantities absorbed is associated with a decrease in sexual satisfaction, while an increase in the duration of the consummation or method of administration at a high absorption level is associated with an increase in atypical sexual behaviour and criminality. These results are interpreted according to an explanatory model which attempts to consolidate the results of the study with sometimes contradictory scientific documentation.
