DESCRIPTION:With Prof. Sylvia Rich\, University of Ottawa Faculty of Law (M
 cGill LLB/BCL ’07)\n\nPolice violence against women may occur when police 
 are carrying out their duties\, or it may occur outside of the scope of th
 eir official duties. Reports of both kinds of violence have been increasin
 g in Canadian media over the last ten years in relation to the RCMP and th
 e Sûreté Québec\, among others. Culture change is always difficult and pol
 icing culture is a strong and intransigent cultural force. On the other ha
 nd\, simply accepting the status quo of police committing acts of violence
  against the vulnerable people they are meant to protect is intolerable. T
 his lecture will present some of these cases of widespread police violence
  against women and lay out different options the law has for addressing th
 em.\n\nBio\n\nProf. Sylvia Rich is an assistant professor at the Universit
