Prof. Dr. Irvin Waller

Irvin Waller is a Full Professor of Criminology at the University of Ottawa and Vice-President of the International Organization for Victim Assistance. He continues to advise national and local governments across the world and talk to concerned citizens and taxpayers.

He has 40 years of prize winning work in government, with governments and outside governments to prevent crime, reduce the over-reliance on cops, courts and corrections, and empower victims. He was President of the World Society of Victimology, founding CEO of the International Centre for Prevention of Crime affiliated with the United Nations, and founding CEO of the Institute for Crime Prevention at Ottawa University. His contributions have been recognized by governments in Europe and North America as well as international non-governmental organizations.

He is the author of Less Law, More Order: The Truth about Reducing Crime, already in paper back in English, French and Spanish, with Chinese and German versions to appear this year. His visionary views on how governments can prevent violence but not through more police and prisons are not just being listened to, but adopted by governments who mean business. This internationally renowned author is working on a sequel on crime victim rights to empower voters to get politicians to change the way justice is administered from more punishment to more respect, truth and safety.
