Droits et voix - Rights and Voices : La criminologie a l'Universite d'Ottawa - Criminology at the University of Ottawa

Cet ouvrage souligne le 40e anniversaire du Departement de criminologie de l'Universite d'Ottawa, fonde en 1968. On y relate l'histoire du departement de ses origines a nos jours en mettant l'accent sur les debats theoriques qui ont influence son approche critique et autoreflexive de la criminologie. Les articles qui le composent s'inscrivent dans cet ordre d'idee en mettant en question la perspective traditionnelle de la criminologie sur divers sujets, notamment les etudes policieres, la sante mentale, la violence politique, le suicide et la prevention du crime. Droits et voix souligne le role primordial que joue l'Universite d'Ottawa dans la redefinition de la criminologie et la promotion du militantisme, de la justice sociale et de la compassion.
