Camille Hazzard

Camille Hazzard is a PhD student at the Centre for Criminology & Sociolegal Studies, University of Toronto. After graduating from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in criminology & sociolegal studies and psychology, with distinction, in 2020, she went on to complete a Master of Arts degree in criminology, here, at the Centre for Criminology & Sociolegal Studies, and graduated in 2021. 

Camille is interested in how the criminal justice system manages individuals and their behaviour (i.e., managerialism). She is fascinated by the parallels and contrasts between methods of behavioural regulation used among custodial and private citizens in carceral and non-carceral contexts. She aspires to determine how managerialism influences levels of public confidence in the rehabilitative ideal, discourages acts of reconciliation, and reproduces racial injustice. Moreover, Camille intends to explore how managerial processes can be interrupted to foster the reparation of relationships in the wake of a criminal offence. 

Prior to joining the Centre, Camille participated in a mentorship program launched by her alma mater, Woodsworth College, University of Toronto, where she was mentored by a female Assistant Crown Attorney. Camille was also a member of the inaugural Black Future Lawyers program cohort at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law where she was mentored by a Black, female Per Diem Assistant Crown Attorney.
