The ICPC takes part in the second edition of Synergy, Dialogue on Urban Violence organized by the City of Laval

On October 16, we were pleased to take part in the second edition of Synergy, Dialogue on Urban Violence, organized by the City of Laval in partnership with the Pôle lavallois d’enseignement supérieur (PLAN).  

Alexis St-Maurice, analyst and project officer, and Michelle Côté, scientific advisor at the ICPC, presented to an audience of more than 150 people recent trends in delinquency in Laval based on observations drawn from fieldwork conducted with 20 key stakeholders, mainly professionals in direct contact with participants aged between 12 and 35.  

The event provided an opportunity to discuss suitable means of prevention, as well as the challenges associated with delinquency in the Laval region. We also discussed the next steps to be taken as part of the 2024-2034 Action Plan for Community Safety and Well-Being, financed by the governments of Canada and Quebec through the Government of Canada’s Building Safer Communities Fund (BSCF) to combat the increase in crime and the use of firearms in Laval.  

Thank you for the invitation!  

Chronicle of the ICPC on France 24

The ICPC was invited to participate in a science segment on the France 24 channel which focused on the knowledge of Canadian ways to detect and prevent the risks of delinquency among young children.

In this interview, Anne Vandelle, analyst and coordinator of activities and projects at ICPC, focuses on the work that can be done around a set of protective factors in young children. These can have a positive impact on children, specifically on their safety and sense of security. Through a few examples of programs, we highlight the importance of offsetting risk factors with protective factors, such as physical and mental health, and the feeling of of safety, in order to prevent the risk of delinquency from childhood.
