Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Criminal Code classifies offences into three categories: summary offences, indictable offences, and mixed or hybrid offences. Summary offences are less serious offences that are usually punishable by fines or short-term imprisonment. Indictable offences are more serious offences that carry longer prison sentences and are tried by judge and jury. Mixed or hybrid offences can be prosecuted as either summary or indictable offences, depending on the circumstances of the case. The terms "felonies" and "misdemeanors" are not used in the Canadian criminal justice system.
