Yvon Dandurand is a Canadian criminologist who has taught criminology courses and sociology of law courses at various universities across Canada, including Queen's University, the University of Ottawa, and Carleton University.[1] He married a Québécois woman just as the men of three previous generations of his family did before him.[2] He is the Research and Industry Liaison for the University of the Fraser Valley and serves as Senior Associate for the International Centre for Criminal Law Reform and Criminal Justice Policy.[3] He is also Director of Research and Statistics for the Department of Justice.[4] In 2006, he co-wrote a handbook called Handbook on Restorative Justice Programmes with Curt T. Griffiths that was published by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.[5] In 1981, he was wrongfully arrested and imprisoned for shoplifting, and was awarded $75000 in damages for false arrest and false imprisonment three years later.[6] In 1983, he recommended that a surtax be levied on all convictions in Canada such that criminals would be required to financially compensate their victims.[7] Barbara Jane Messamore acknowledged Dandurand as having helped her in writing her 2006 book Canada's Governors General, 1847-1878,[8] and Sylvie Murray similarly acknowledged Dandurand's support in her 2011 book Writing World War II.[9] In 2012, Dandurand appeared on a discussion panel about human trafficking in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in conjunction with a performance of Andrew Kooman's She Has a Name at the Hotel Grand Pacific.[10]
