Experimental criminology is a field within criminology that uses scientific experiments to answer questions about crime:its prevention,punishment and harm. These experiments are primarily conducted in real-life settings,rather than in laboratories. From policing to prosecution to probation,prisons and parole,these field experiments compare similar units with different practices for dealing with crime and responses to crime. These units can be individual suspects or offenders,people,places,neighborhoods,times of day,gangs,or even police officers or judges. The experiments often use random assignment to create similar units in both a "treatment" and a "control" group,with the "control" sometimes consisting of the current way of dealing with crime and the "treatment" a new way of doing so. Such experiments,while not perfect,are generally considered to be the best available way to estimate the cause and effect relationship of one variable to another. Other research designs not using random assignment are also considered to be experiments because they entail human manipulation of the causal relationships being tested.
The Strax affair was a sequence of events at the University of New Brunswick (UNB) in Fredericton in 1968 and 1969. It began in September 1968 when the university president suspended Norman Strax,a young physics professor,after Strax led protests in the university library against the introduction of photo ID cards. The suspension,and UNB's subsequent legal proceedings against Strax,led to the institution's being censured by the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT). Other components of the affair were the lengthy occupation of Strax's former office by his supporters and the jailing of a student for an article that appeared in the student newspaper questioning the objectivity of the New Brunswick legal system. The formal lifting of the CAUT censure in September 1969 brought the Strax affair to an end.
