Biography

Rémi Boivin is a full professor at the School of Criminology at the University of Montreal. Previously, he worked for several years at the Montreal City Police Service. His research focuses on several aspects of crime analysis and policing practices, including understanding where, when, and how criminal offenses occur. Additionally, he studies the planning and evaluation of interventions aimed at preventing and addressing crime. He examines the police's handling of criminal offenses, highlighting the role of police discretion in the judicial process. A deeper understanding of these decision-making mechanisms informs our insights into policing and crime indicators.
