Gillian Balfour is Associate professor in the Department of Sociology at Trent University.
Gillian recently completed a PhD in sociology at the University of Manitoba where she examined the role of lawyers in the criminalization of men and women accused of violent crimes. Her PhD research examined the practice of law as a social act that is constrained and enabled by socio-political interests of “law and order,” professional codes of conduct, and the identities of victims and offenders and the meaning of violence that are encoded with stereotypes of whiteness, Indianness, dangerousness, poverty, heterosexuality, femininity and masculinity.
Her research interests include law reforms in the areas of domestic and sexual violence, women, crime and social justice, feminist criminology and Aboriginal peoples in the criminal justice system. Gillian teaches Sociology of Law, Feminist Criminology and Introductory Sociology.

Excerpt: Contemporary Criminological Issues: Moving Beyond Insecurity and Exclusion (edited by Carolyn Côté-Lussier, David Moffette & Justin Piché; contributions by Gillian Balfour, Jeffrey Bradley, Chris Bruckert, Kathryn Campbell, Patrice Corriveau, Serena Dastouri, Jean-Denis David, Rachel Faytor, Maritza Felices-Luna, Matthew Ferguson, Christine Gervais, Chris Greco, Anouk Guiné, Katrin Hohl, Matthew S.

“[…] critical criminology [has] a shared commitment towards understanding how class, race, gender, sexuality, and other markers of difference shape (a) catastrophic imaginaries that construct threats to security and (b) actual instances of victimization that result in the exclusion of those deemed to be vectors of risk and/or culpability. This shared commitment to critically engage with issues related to insecurity and exclusion produces alternative ways of seeing “crime” and “security” matters appropriated by the state, and opens the horizons to other ways of responding to them premised on equality and inclusion.” (Introduction, p. 2)
Editorial Reviews
(Reviewing David Mofette & Anna Pratt, Beyond Criminal Law and Methodological Nationalism: Borderlands, Jurisdictional Games and Legal Intersections, in Contemporary Criminological Issues: Moving Beyond Insecurity and Exclusion)
“a chapter in a book that is, in its entirety, a great and important read for those interested in the field of (critical) criminology and criminal justice. The 2020 edited collection “Contemporary Criminological Issues” provides its readers with an interesting set of chapters that challenge current critical criminological theoretical perspectives, themes and methods.”
(…)
“The lens provided by Pratt and Mofette offers an alternative and more dynamic way to look at the intersection of criminal justice and immigration.”
