The road to compliance: Integrating three theories. This project aims to reduce young driver deaths and injuries by developing an integrated theory of road policing using the elements of deterrence, procedural justice and third party policing approaches. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of road policing which represents a resource intensive area of policing activity. The expected outcome of this project is an integrated theory of road policing that can better inform inte ....The road to compliance: Integrating three theories. This project aims to reduce young driver deaths and injuries by developing an integrated theory of road policing using the elements of deterrence, procedural justice and third party policing approaches. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of road policing which represents a resource intensive area of policing activity. The expected outcome of this project is an integrated theory of road policing that can better inform interventions for young driver compliance. This should provide significant benefits including a reduction in the cost of crashes involving young drivers, which cost nearly $5.5 billion from 2006-2015.Read moreRead less

The estimated cost of crime in Australia is $36 billion with $6.9 billion spent on police services each year. This project will fund a series of field experiments testing the effectiveness of Third Party Policing: a promising, new policing approach that involves police partnering with communities, businesses and other government agencies to use regulations and civil laws to better control crime. The research will strengthen Australia's social and economic fabric, grow Australia's capacity to conduct multi-site, multi-country field trials, institutionalise the use of scientific experimental evidence to guide crime control policies, and help safeguard and protect Australia from terrorism and crime.Read moreRead less

Police rely on the public to report victimisation, crime incidents and terrorist threats, but new immigrants can be reluctant to engage with police. This project will explore why immigrants disengage from police and examine how immigrants perceive and respond to procedural justice policing, an approach th ....Policing in a multicultural society.

The criminal justice system struggles to cope with the challenge of mentally ill offenders. Yet unfortunately increasing numbers of mentally ill people are coming into contact with police, the courts and correctional institutions. Using a life-course criminological perspective, this project aims to understand the links between mental illness and offending. Such an understanding will provide the criminal justice system with strategies for managing and treating mentally ill offenders. More importantly, such an understanding can be used to intervene in circumstances that result in mentally ill people offending, improving their well-being and increasing community safety.Read moreRead less
