Abstract

A University of Regina student has been awarded a prestigious Vanier Scholarship valued at $150,000. Sophie Duranceau, a doctoral student in Psychology, will look at the impact of police work on the psychological, social and occupational development of Canadian police officers. “I want to support the social and occupational development of police officers because they provide critical structure for our entire society,” says Duranceau who is working under the supervision of Dr. Nicholas Carleton. “Our police officers are the basis for enforcing the rule of law, but in our modern world they are also highly visible agents of social change; as such, the more we support our police officers, the more we support ourselves,” she adds.
