Neuilly is using her year-long award to support a research project based in France. With colleagues at the Rennes University Hospital, she is studying the impact of a 2017 change in the French death certificate on the quality of French mortality statistics. This change included adding more precise information about which types of deaths have to be investigated by medical examiners. Neuilly hypothesizes that this change has led to more deaths being investigated, in turn leading to more accurate death classification and mortality statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are delighted to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Melanie-Angela Neuilly (PhD) for this remarkable achievement and outstanding contribution to the field of Criminal Justice and Criminology. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
