Aaron Doyle is an associate professor in the department of sociology and anthropology at Carleton University, where he has been based since 2002. He has published four books (all with University of Toronto Press) including Arresting Images: Crime and Policing in Front of the Television Camera. Doyle has also published a number of articles on crime and the media, including research on media coverage of prisons and on the reality TV show "Cops." He teaches a course at Carleton University called "Crime, Media and Culture." Doyle currently holds a SSHRC standard research grant for a project on public experiences of risk and fear. In younger days, he worked as a reporter on the police beat for several smaller newspapers. Jonathan Freedman is Professor of Psychology and Deputy Provost at the University of Toronto. He received his BA from Harvard University and MA and PhD from Yale University. He taught at Stanford and Columbia before coming to the University of Toronto as chair of the Psychology department. His research has involved social influence, the effects of crowding and more recently legal issues such as what affects juries and the role of pretrial publicity. Of particular relevance to this conference, he has devoted more than two decades to studying the literature on the effect of media violence on aggression. His recent book on the subject is Media Violence and Its Effect on Aggression (UofT Press, 2002). Brian Myles est journaliste au quotidien Le Devoir depuis 15 ans, où il couvre les actualités judiciaires, les faits divers et les grands enjeux reliés à la criminalité. Il est également titulaire d'une maîtrise ès Arts (UQAM). Son mémoire de maîtrise porte sur les représentations sociales au sujet des Noirs dans les médias de masse québécois, dans une perspective constructiviste. Julian Sher is an award-winning investigative journalist
in print, TV, radio, and on the Web. His books on crime and the justice
system have been translated into four languages and sold in seven countries.
His latest book, One Child at a Time: Inside the Police Hunt to Rescue
Children from Online Predators has been hailed by reviewers as "riveting" "eye-opening
and "gripping." Gaining extraordinary behind-the-scenes access,
he spent two years following the work of the Canadian police as wells
as the FBI and police agencies around the world. He also interviewed
convicted child abusers in prison, victims and their families. He has
twice won the Arthur C. Ellis award given by the Crime Writers of Canada
for the Best True Crime Book of the Year. He has filmed, written
and produced other major documentaries across the globe, covering nuclear
terrorism, wars, scandals, corruption and human rights in Afghanistan,
Iraq, Africa, Russia, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and across North
America. For the CBC, his documentaries have won numerous awards, included
a Gemini. In 2006, he directed a New York Times-CBC TV investigation
called “Nuclear Jihad” which won the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia
University Award, the broadcast equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. |
