Now, electronic data storage, digital photography, smart phones and tablet devices present new opportunities for educators, researchers, and health care providers. Mobile technologies allow for new possibilities for physician collaboration as well as patient diagnosis, treatment and study. However, while it presents new opportunities, the mobile technological revolution in health care has brought about new risks to patient privacy. These risks to patients, in turn, translate into exposure to liability on the part of health care providers including physicians, allied health care professionals and institutions. This paper reviews recent developments in the legal landscape providing new forms of civil liability for breaches of privacy and discusses how risks of liability under those developing civil causes of action can be managed by health care providers, while they at the same time harness the potential of the mobile technological tide.

Virtually all have grown up in poverty; many are racialized or Indigenous; all are marginalized. As youths, and later as adults, they are proportionately more often charged, found guilty, and incarcerated relative to youth who are not or have not been "in care.". This article critically considers disadvantages "cross-over" youths face under the YCJA. It provides a new, theoretically engaged understanding of how dangerousness and criminality are constructed in official discourses for cross-over youths. It argues that YCJA evidence law compounds the disadvantage of cross-over youth, who are already socially excluded, setting them up for disproportionate criminalization and incarceration. Both with respect to their statements and to documentary records about them, cross-over youth are vulnerable under Criminal Evidence law in ways that youths who reside in their families of origin are less likely to be. Systemic change to child welfare law and policy to focus on early interventions preventing apprehensions in the first place should be promoted. Further, as an interim and partial solutions, this "cross-over" should be addressed through changes to evidence law under the YCJA. We need to revisit the appropriateness and implications of explicit and implicit * PhD, LL.M., LL.B., faculty member with the Department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University, lawyer member of the Bar of Ontario since 2003, and former "cross-over" youth. 266 MANITOBA LAW JOURNAL| VOLUME 42 ISSUE 4 assumptions-running throughout youth criminal justice processes and protections-that a youth before the Court will be able to draw upon parental support.

Resistance Behind Bars compellingly challenges and goes a distance to remedy the frequent failures of prior studies to document or theorize the agencies and resistances of incarcerated women. The information offered in the book about the agency of woman prisoners is valuable in that it provides a window into the under-studied and woefully under-appreciated agency of women prisoners. With sensitivity to issues of race and class, the text documents individual resistance and collective organizing by women in the United States. The book discusses problems faced by women in prison such as sexual abuse, isolation from families and especially children and a lack of opportunities for work and education. The text then uniquely discusses active steps women in prison take to challenge and change their conditions, from the formation by women in prison of peer education groups, the clandestine making of arrangements for children to visit mothers to prison rebellions and uses of the media by woman prisoners in raising public awareness about their lives. Probably the best thing about this book is that it is such an accessible read. The narrative is personal and engaging in its presentation of thorough research. As such it is likely to be accessible to-and read by-woman prisoners themselves as well as people not specifically trained in law, criminology or any related academic discipline. Clearly, the introduction from the second edition indicates that this has already begun to happen. Providing for these women a context, community and history for their own struggles is invaluable. The great strength of the

Academics, students and the practicing bench and bar continue to access this publication and contribute to it their knowledge and experience in the criminal law. The fact that we have, once again, elected to publish a double volume is a testament to the quality of submissions we have received over the last twelve months. We present twenty-five articles from twenty-nine authors, highlighting the work of some of Canada’s leading criminal law, criminological and criminal justice academics.
The Manitoba Law Journal remains one of the most important legal scholarship platforms in Canada with a rich history of hosting criminal law analyses.1 With the help of our contributors, the Manitoba Law Journal was recently ranked second out of thirty-one entries in the Law, Government and Politics category of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). We continue to be committed to open access scholarship and our readership grows with each Criminal Law Special Edition released.

Further, we have recently tapped into the CanLII Connects system and are excited by the drive towards open access in legal scholarship and authorship. We have made connections with Emond Publishing who have graciously provided editorial assistance to us in these two latest volumes. Our commitment to open access publication, as well as our presence on the usual legal databases and Academia.edu contributes to making our resources easy to access. As part of our commitment to advancing legal research and disseminating knowledge in the fields of criminal law, criminal justice and criminology, we present you, this year, with two additional volumes of the Criminal Law Edition of the Manitoba Law Journal.

Black letter law analyses indeed have their place, as do complex theoretical interrogations of criminal law. Speaking across disciplines between law, criminology, sociology, psychology, and other disciplines is an ever-present challenge. We must never forget that good criminal law practice is informed well by the social sciences and humanities.

From studies of propaganda (Shimko 1991; Wilke 1998) to examinations of visual culture and images more broadly (Howells 2003; Messaris 1994; Mirzoeff 1998), visuality and visibility are two of the most significant concepts of the last decade across the social sciences and humanities (Jay 1995; 2005; Urry 1992; Woodiwiss 2001). Our definitions of justice, visuality, and visibility are broad and inclusive, partly because we see them as contested concepts.
The rewarding, enjoyable aspect of academic inquiry is testing how far these analytical ideas can be pushed and explored. As part of our annual justice conference, we invited academic contributions as well as photographic and artistic exposures of the following approaches to justice and visibility including but not limited to: social justice; ecological justice; indigenous justice; urban justice; human rights and justice; works on surveillance; the role of sight in criminal justice; media representations of law; order and justice more broadly; the use of visual methods in the justice disciplines; and the visuality of forensics. As the reader will see in what follows, the contributors have been comprehensive and meticulous in their examination of these topics.
