AIC Criminology Research Projects 2024

Suppliers are required to submit a detailed proposal for a criminological research project that will make a valuable contribution to knowledge and address policy-relevant needs in the area of crime and criminal justice.

Projects to be supported through this Approach to Market are:

- criminological research that is relevant to the public policy of the Commonwealth, the states, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory and

- activities related to that research (including, for example, the publication of that research).

In addition to the above, the Advisory Council welcomes applications that address:

- Identifying culturally safe and effective approaches to reducing the overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the criminal justice system,

- Understanding and addressing victimisation of other vulnerable cohorts (e.g. older people) and in specific contexts (e.g. online),

- Understanding and addressing offenders living with disability or mental health conditions in the criminal justice system, and

- Innovative responses to address children at risk of entering the criminal justice system (including young people with harmful sexual behaviours).
