The dramatic evolution of crime in Canada

Professor Boyd has had a 50-year career in criminology, beginning with a fascination for crime in the 1970s and culminating in retirement as a professor emeritus in 2022. Over these decades, he’s noticed that crime in Canada has evolved significantly, particularly in the areas of homicide, property crimes, and drug control. Professor Boyd advocates for a balanced approach to drug policy, emphasizing prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and enforcement to address the ongoing crisis and its impact on communities.
