Crime stats drop
Crime statistics across B.C. are down, but not surprisingly, murders are up, according to the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics. SFU criminologist Paul Brantingham analyses crime statistics and patterns and can provide some insight into the decreases. Neil Boyd can talk about the rise in murders, driven largely by gang-related slayings.

Survey tracks work/life balance of parents
A survey of parents of middle school-aged children in Canada and the U.S. is tracking how those parents are handling the work/life balance in today’s world. SFU PhD student Amie McLean is working on the survey for the Families in the New Millennium research project, which will shed light on parents’ views of education, financial planning, and their children’s extracurricular activities. The goal is to help various agencies with planning and policies related to families. McLean is also looking at work/life balance as part of her sociological study of inequalities in the trucking industry, underway for her PhD.
