Ruth M. Mann, Associate Professor (PhD, 1996 University of Toronto)

Professor Mann teaches in the Criminology Program of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. She is currently working on two research projects. The larger SSHRC-funded project (with co-investigator Dr. Charlene Senn, Department of Psychology), is on youth violence and youth violence interventions under Canada's "new" (2003) Youth Criminal Justice Act. A smaller project (funded by the Health Research Centre for the Study of Violence Against Women, University of Windsor), is on feminism, men's rights, and Canadian policy on family law and domestic violence.
