Illicit Organisations - Organised Crime and Terrorism
2010 Achievements include:
Illicit Organisations
The Illicit Organisations project has now completed its theoretical and research question phase. Several literature reviews on Australian and Asian organised crime are now in press. Contributions to the Routledge and Oxford handbooks of organised crime were made by Professor Sandy Gordon, Julie Ayling, Dr Nicholas Farrelly and Professor Rod Broadhurst (due for release in 2011). A monograph by Professor Peter Grabosky and Professor Michael Stohl, Crime and Terrorism (London Sage Publications, 2010) exploring the connection between crime and terrorism was completed with an overseas partner institution, the University of California.
Cybercrime
The recruitment of a full-time research officer (Dr Lennon Chang) and PhD candidate (Chon Kihong - Steve) at the close of 2010 was undertaken and this enabled the project to commence in 2011. A short article on the need for another international cybercrime treaty (see Broadhurst, R. (2010), A New Global Convention on Cybercrime, Pakistan Journal of Criminology, Vol. 2(4): 1-10) was published and forthcoming chapters for Routledge’s International Handbook of Criminology and Cyber Criminology: Exploring Internet Crimes and Criminal Behavior by the CRC press are expected in 2011.
Post-Conflict Crime and Policing
Data collection and analysis is largely completed for this project and the PhD candidate working on human trafficking is expected to submit in mid 2011. ANU College of Asia and the Pacific funding for a small workshop on Asian policing cultures and traditions had been obtained, and Professor Broadhurst and Dr Farrelly will convene this meeting in 2011. PhD candidate Jacqui Menager will be involved in this workshop and other aspects of the research.
The preparation of a manuscript on the history of violence in Cambodia is underway and an article on theoretical aspects of crime and modernization is in review. A book chapter has been published and another is in press on crime in Cambodia (see Broadhurst, R., Bouhours T., and Keo C. (2010). Cambodia. In D. Chu (Ed.), Crime and Punishment Around the World, Vol.3. Asia-Pacific, Santa Barbara: ABC-CLIO, pp 52-64.)
Significant highlights for 2010 include:

Other participants included John McFarlane, Professor Adam Graycar, Dean of the Australian National Institute of Public Policy, and Karen Harfield from the Australian Crime Commission. He also participated in a panel addressing international collaboration at the Virtual Task Force on Child Protection in Sydney (2 December 2010).
