handle is hein.journals/cjccj61 and id is 1 raw text is: OBITUARY Denis Szabo (1929-2018): Founder of Criminology in Quebec Fran ois Fenchel* Universit6 Loval John Winterdyk Mount Royal University Rien n'est possible sans les hommes, rien n'est durable sans les institutions. Nothing is possible without men, nothing lasts without institutions. Jean Monnet The recent passing of Professor Denis Szabo (13 October 2018) is marked with sadness in the Canadian criminological community. There is, however, a respite in knowing that as one of the founders of Canadian criminology, his legacy has been well- documented. We are also fortunate that many of his former students, including the lead author of this article, and a good number of his former colleagues (e.g., Maurice Cusson, Jean-Paul Brodeur, Serge Brochu, Ezzat Fattah, and Andr6 Normandeau, among others)2 are still alive to provide their own accounts of Szabo's life and contribution to the development of criminology. As an homage, we propose a condensed version of his life drawn from a recently published essay on his life.' Szabo's early years Denis Szabo was born on 4 June 1929 in Budapest, Hungary. His father was a police officer, and at the tender age of 10, he became a cadet and received an officer's education during World War II. It was during this formative phase of his life that Szabo garnered different lessons that would guide the rest of his life. One of the first and enduring lessons he learned was a certain contempt for authority and rebelliousness against regulations and bureaucracy. While his military training provided him with specific valuable skills, he found it too restricting, and his will to be more expressive and free-spirited often got him into trouble. * Please direct correspondence to Frangois Fenchel, Ecole de travail social et de criminologie, Universit Laval, Qubec, QC G1V 0A6 Canada; francois.fenchel@tsc.ulaval.ca © 2019 Canadian Journal of Criminology and CriminalJustice / Revue canadienne de criminologie et de justice p~nale, 61, I, (January Ijanvier), 1-7 doi:10.3138/cjccj.2018.0068
