Le Centre international de criminologie comparée (CICC) a le profond regret de vous annoncer le décès de Madame Céline Bellot, chercheuse au CICC et professeure à l’École de travail social de l’Université de Montréal.
Céline Bellot était professeure titulaire à l’École de travail social de l’Université de Montréal. Spécialiste de l’itinérance, de la judiciarisation des populations marginalisées et des pratiques de profilage, elle a marqué de manière significative la recherche, l’enseignement et les milieux de pratique en travail social. Titulaire d’un doctorat en criminologie de l’Université de Montréal, elle a joint l’École de travail social en 2003 et y a mené une carrière marquée par un engagement soutenu envers la recherche partenariale, la formation de la relève et le service à la collectivité. Fondatrice de l’Observatoire des profilages et instigatrice de l’École d’été sur les enjeux et pratiques en itinérance, elle a également assumé d’importantes responsabilités institutionnelles. Son apport exceptionnel a été reconnu par de nombreuses distinctions. Céline Bellot est décédée le 4 janvier 2026.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our daily lives, from our smartphones to its increasing use in public services. As law enforcement faces ever more sophisticated digital attacks, such as ransomware, online harassment, and sextortion, can AI play a role in protecting our communities from these threats? While discussions often focus on the risks associated with its use, could AI also become a valuable tool in the fight against online crime?
A wide range of empirical studies has examined sex work and the individuals involved in it. However, this body of research often tends to homogenize lived experiences, overlooking the diversity of practices and profiles within the industry. The experiences of women who voluntarily engage in independent sex work remain particularly understudied. Often operating on the margins of institutionalized structures and less visible within the broader industry, these women remain largely unknown and underrepresented in the scientific literature.
