Biography

Maurice Cusson is considered one of the leading French-speaking criminology professors. Since he began his career at the School of Criminology at the University of Montreal in 1972, he has focused on all traditional sectors of his discipline: family, predatory and sexual criminal violence in all its forms. His work mainly concerns the effectiveness of prevention measures, the explanation of delinquent behaviors, and the causes of variations in crime over time and across different societies. His innovative contributions to criminology fall within the realm of internal security. A successful author, Maurice Cusson has received prestigious awards for some of his publications, including the Governor General's Award of Canada for 'Social Control of Crime' in 1984.
