The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) has announced important new funding that will support Australian academics to undertake cutting edge crime and justice research.
AIC Acting Director Matt Rippon said he was pleased to approve funding for seven new projects under the Criminology Research Grants (CRG) program, which have been selected by the Criminology Research Advisory Council.
"These new projects address a number of contemporary crime and justice issues, including domestic and family violence, child sexual abuse, youth offending, police cautioning and use of bail. This research will assist with future policy developments on these important issues," Mr Rippon said.
The principal objectives of the CRG program are to support criminological research that is relevant to public policy and to promote the value and use of such research.
