Les interactions des facteurs biologiques, psychologiques et sociaux au cours de la vie qui influencent le développement des troubles mentaux, les comportements antisociaux et criminels.
Présentement, mes études portent sur le développement des comportements antisociaux à travers la vie. Nous tentons de comprendre comment les facteurs génétiques et environnementaux interagissent pour promouvoir ces comportements et aussi pour les prévenir. Pour ce faire j’étudie des cohortes d’individus qui ont été suivi dès leur entrée à l’école jusqu’à 33 ans, des cohortes d’adolescents, des individus qui à l’adolescence ont été traité pour les problèmes de toxicomanie, et les criminels. Nous examinons les facteurs sociaux, les facteurs individuels tel la personnalité, les troubles mentaux, la performance académique, etc., la famille, ainsi que les anomalies cérébrales identifiés par l’imagerie, ainsi que les gènes. Le but est de mettre en évidence les mécanismes qui sous-tendent des patterns de comportements antisociaux et de contribuer au développement de traitements et de programmes de prévention.
De plus, je travaille sur un projet qui suit les enfants de parents ayant le trouble bipolaire.
Biographie
J'ai terminé une maîtrise et un doctorat, qui combinait une formation en psychologie expérimentale et clinique à l'Université McGill sous la supervision du professeur Donald Hebb. Ma recherche de thèse portait sur la psychopathie. Après avoir obtenu mon diplôme, j'ai été nommée au département de psychiatrie et d’addictologie de l'Université de Montréal où je suis professeure associée.

Antecedents of persistent antisocial behaviour and psychopathy: A developmental follow-back study of Canadian men using prospectively collected data from age 6 to 30
Description
Résumé
Approximately 5% of males display antisocial and aggressive behaviour that emerges in childhood and remains stable throughout life. They commit more than 50% of all violent crimes. In addition, they assault others, participate in the illegal drug trade, do not work or pay taxes. The first goal of the proposed project is to estimate the burden this small group of males places on Canadian society in order to inform policy decisions regarding investment in child and family focused prevention programmes. The second goal is to identify distinctive sub-types within the population of males who display stable antisocial behaviour. These sub-types, we propose, differ as to the traits of psychopathy and symptoms of anxiety. This evidence is needed in order to investigate the mechanisms that initiate and maintain antisocial behaviour and to develop childhood intervention programmes that are tailored to the needs of different sub-types of boys presenting antisocial behaviour. There is presently no effective treatment for persistent antisocial behaviour. Interventions in childhood present the greatest potential for success. The present project will provide evidence about the treatment needs at different ages of each sub-type of males who engage in persistent antisocial behaviour. To achieve these goals, the proposed project will examine 2631 men, aged 30-33, who have been participating in a study since they were 6 years old. We will collect official records to identify all those who have a criminal conviction (~376) and a random sample of 350 with no record of criminality. We will interview these 726 men in order to assess mental health, psychosocial functioning, and aggressive behaviour, and collect their health files. This new information will be combined with parent, teacher, and self-reports of behaviour, symptoms, and parenting, and official reports of maltreatment, delinquency and social service interventions collected since age 6.
The Lifetime Costs of Criminal Offending: A Canadian Study of a Sample of Males followed from age 6 to 30
Description
Résumé
The present application requests funds to provide evidence from Canada of the costs of offenders in an effort to contribute to the discussion about how best to reduce crime. While there are a few studies of the costs of offenders in the US and in the UK, such evidence is currently lacking in Canada. Further, evidence is needed of the costs of different types of offenders – life-course persistent, adolescent-limited, and adult-start offenders, about the nature of the costs that they impose on Canadian society, and about the age period when the costs occur – childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Such detailed cost estimates would contribute to the on-going discussion about investing in early childhood programs rather than, or in addition to, criminal justice programs.
LCP offenders, while few in number, are responsible for most of the violent crimes that are committed. These individuals are distinguished by individual factors, principally persistent conduct problems and aggressive behaviour from a very young age, and family factors, principally parents engaging in criminal and/or antisocial behaviours who provide non-optimal parenting. These individuals present more physical and mental health problems across the life-span than other offenders and spend less time employed. Some individual and family factors also distinguish adolescent-limited offenders.
While presently we wait until adolescence to intervene, usually by incarcerating offenders, there is now robust evidence suggesting that interventions in childhood that reduce conduct problems and improve parenting might limit subsequent criminal activity, improve academic performance, and increase pro-social skills. Therefore, information about the costs of criminal offending over the life-span would be a useful contribution to the debate on crime reduction strategies.
The study uses data collected on a sample of 2631 males from Quebec who have been followed from age 6 to age 30. By age 24, official records indicated that 376 of these men had at least one conviction for a criminal offence in adult court and another 204 had convictions in juvenile but not in adult court. Criminal files will be up-dated to age 30.
The proposed study aims to compare costs of offenders and non-offenders from the perspectives of both the government (all publicly-borne health care, education and criminal justice costs, including any additional costs that victims incur, government revenues and outlays, including taxes, unemployment insurance, disability benefits) and society (publicly borne and private costs of health care, education and criminal justice costs, labour force participation, and all costs associated with criminal activity, including intangible costs – pain and suffering). Costs will be estimated for the lifespan, and for age periods, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Additionally, estimates will be made for life course persistent, adolescent-limited, and adult-start offenders. Family and individual factors associated with costs will be identified.
The study will provide estimates of the costs of processing and incarcerating offenders and providing care for their victims, but also the costs the offenders incurred in the health, social service, and education systems from birth onwards. The results will make a useful contribution to debate and decisions about crime reduction and prevention for both policy makers and the general public. The proposed study will fill a void as few data are available in Canada on the costs of criminal offending. Further, the estimates will be sufficiently detailed to be used in making decisions about how to reduce the costs.
