Is there a greater urgency to investigate quickly in cases of violence than those of theft?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Feeney, [1997] 2 SCR 13, 1997 CanLII 342 (SCC):
163. I completely agree. The nature of the crime is an important factor to consider. There can be little doubt that there is a greater urgency to investigate quickly in a case of violence than, for example, a case of theft: see United States v. Scroger, supra, at p. 1260.
