Courthouse Libraries BC maintains a subscription to Rangefindr. Rangefindr is the Canadian sentencing research database designed to save you time when you want to find criminal sentencing ranges fast.
How it works
Select from predefined tags in order to describe the type of case that you would like to research. There are tags available to describe the situation of the accused, the details of the case, the offence and more. When you're done, Rangefindr will return results of the sentences that were imposed for similar cases. You can also continue on to read the judgement.
Where to find it
