About Dahn Batchelor

I am a criminologist in Canada and since 1975, I have addressed the United Nations in their conferences on criminal justice around the world. (Europe, Africa, South America and Asia) I am the father of the United Nations bill of rights for young offenders (The Beijing Rules) which affects the lives of millions of children around the world. I created Ventures in the boy scouts organization and it is currently in 13 countries. I was 22 years of age when I did this. I am currently 72 years of age and still working as a speaker on justice at UN conferences and I am practicing law. I am a concert pianist, written several novels and am an essayist. Most of my work and writings is on issues on criminal justice and on human rights. In the past, I was a private investigator, a syndicated newspaper columnist and editor of a police magazine and host of a TV talk show.
