PLEA gratefully acknowledges our primary core funder the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan for their continuing and generous support of our organization.
The Criminal Code sets out different maximum sentences for assault convictions, depending upon the circumstances. There is no minimum sentence.
There are a wide range of sentences possible for most crimes, including assault. The law usually sets a maximum and sometimes a minimum sentence for each crime. A judge rarely gives the maximum sentence. The maximum sentence is for the worst offender who has committed the worst type of the offence.
PLEA offers free online training on preventing and addressing workplace harassment.
