Mylène Jaccoud is a Full Professor at the School of Criminology, University of Montreal, and an associate researcher at the CRDP (Centre de recherche en droit, politique et société). Her research focuses on alternative criminal justice practices—such as mediation and restorative justice—and the intersection between criminal justice systems and Indigenous communities in Quebec. She leads participatory projects, including initiatives in Nunavik aimed at rebuilding social regulation in Inuit communities. Jaccoud collaborates with Indigenous organizations and policymakers to develop culturally appropriate justice approaches, emphasizing decolonization in criminology education and training. She chairs an Indigenous advisory committee at her school and is president of the World Mediation Forum.
Her research spans topics like First Nations governance, violence against Indigenous women, specialized courts, and legal pluralism. She has secured funding from the FRQ-SC (Fonds de recherche du Québec - Société et culture) for projects aligning with the theme of 'Justice and Change.' Her work bridges academic research with practical interventions, advocating for systemic reforms that center Indigenous autonomy and marginalized voices. Jaccoud frequently participates in conferences and public dialogues on punitive societies, abolitionism, and decolonizing justice frameworks.
Key collaborations include projects with the Quebec Ministry of Public Security, Indigenous police forces, and international forums. Her contributions extend beyond academia to shaping policy through participatory methodologies, ensuring Indigenous communities’ perspectives drive justice system transformation.
