First one was held from 27 August to 3 September 1965, Montreal, Quebec. It became the capital of international criminology.

A series of related experiments investigated the relationship between naturally established teacher expectation and IQ change. Subjects were 109 grade 1 and 2 pupils from an average socioeconomic area of Montreal. Results show no linear relationship between teacher expectation and IQ gain scores either with or without the partialing out of initial IQ scores. A significant relationship was found between negative discrepant teacher expectation and IQ change in children with superior intellectual potential. The use of IQ testing in the primary grades is discussed, and suggestions are made concerning both teacher training and in-service training programs in the light of these findings.

The article investigates the three of the largest studies of drug use that were done among high school students in Toronto, Montreal and Halifax. The purpose of the article is to report the similarities and differences among drug use rates and concomitant variables for these three cities. The article reports the similarities and differences among the three studies in terms of: (1) gross rates of use of various drugs in the total samples, (2) rates of drug use by sex, (3) rates of drug use by grade, and (4) the frequency of use of various drugs.
