ABSTRACT
This special issue examines the study of legitimacy with a focus on racial–ethnic minority relationships in criminal justice system. The violent and senseless death of George Floyd in the United States on 25 May 2020 has galvanized the recent international Black Lives Matter movement and represented one of the many tragedies in the history of the global racialized criminal justice system, Canada included. The criminal justice system of Canada has a disturbing and problematic history of oppression and colonialism. Against this historical backdrop, however, Canada has been able to develop its own research on a number of key themes, voice these concerns on scientific grounds, and pave its own way towards a more inclusive multicultural future. The special issue is part of the efforts during the extraordinary circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic, which witnessed a short invocation of police emergency powers in Ottawa. (English) [ FROM AUTHOR] Ce numéro spécial s'intéresse aux études sur la légitimité du point de vue particulier des relations avec les minorités raciales et ethniques au sein du système de justice pénale. La mort violente et gratuite de George Floyd, le 25 mai 2020 aux États-Unis, a galvanisé le récent mouvement Black Lives Matter sur la scène internationale;c'est l'une des nombreuses tragédies qui marquent l'histoire d'une justice pénale racialisée partout dans le monde, y compris au Canada. Le système de justice pénale canadien, en effet, a un passé troublant et problématique d'oppression et de colonialisme. Mais sur cet arrière-plan historique, le Canada a su cultiver des recherches sur de nombreux sujets primordiaux, formuler leurs problématiques en s'appuyant sur des données scientifiques et ouvrir lui-même sa voie vers un avenir plus inclusif et multiculturel. Ce numéro spécial est le fruit de ces efforts appliqués aux circonstances extraordinaires de la pandémie de COVID-19, au cours de laquelle le pays a eu recours, brièvement, à la Loi sur les mesures d'urgence à Ottawa.
