Ashley Kyne (iTaukei [Indigenous persons of Fiji], Irish, Tamil, and Nepali) is a PhD student in the Department of Criminology at the University of Ottawa and a recipient of the Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship. She holds an MA in Criminology from Simon Fraser University, where her master’s research examined whether informal social control and related protective factors predicted later offending equally among Indigenous and White persons. Ashley’s doctoral research builds on this work by examining culturally informed risk and protective factors for justice-involved Indigenous persons, with a focus on how mainstream assessment frameworks may misclassify Indigenous persons and reproduce structural inequities.
