Shannon O’Connor is currently completing her Master’s in Criminology at the University of Ottawa. Since receiving her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Queen’s University, Shannon has been concerned with the relationship between mental illness and the criminal justice system. Her concern for torture survivors began with a paper that she wrote for a graduate level criminology course on human rights and crimes against humanity. She is particularly interested in exploring the psychological effects of torture, as well as the various forms of treatment available to support survivors and their families.
