It has been a long time since we last posted a news story. A lot has happened since the last post:

  • Numerous students in the lab have published important papers, including Ariane, Audrey, Bryce, Tori, and Zack. Their publications can be found on the publications page.
  • The lab had a great showing at the first Canadian Evidence-Based Policing Conference at Blue Mountain, Ontario in November 2024. Everyone did a great job presenting their research and new connections and friendships were formed.
  • Simon and Craig presented at the Canadian Chiefs of Police Roundtable event in Toronto in February 2025. The theme of the roundtable was police responses to people in crisis.
