Governing for Security Research Program
Projects:
This program of research covers a wide range of topics and disciplines. Historians, lawyers, psychologists and criminologists come together to tackle a wide range of challenging topics relating to terrorism, serious and organised crime, corruption, as well as other emerging security issues. Indeed, a common thread through these projects is the malleable and changing nature of threats to security and the inherent difficulties of developing effective and proportionate solutions to counter such threats. Historical perspectives open up a valuable inventory of experience and policy learning (as well as policy failures) that informs and shapes contemporary debates about law and order reform, policing and counter-terrorism. The program is committed strongly to brokering an interdisciplinary dialogue between scholars (in Australia and overseas), as well as practitioners. The group contributes collectively to workshops, conferences, and disseminating its innovative research work through journals and edited volumes. Another distinctive aspect of the program is the extent to which it fosters comparative learning similarities and differences in legal and regulatory approaches provide important means of challenging the ‘conventional’ truths about what works and doesn’t work in law enforcement and security. With a vibrant doctoral and post-doctoral community, attracting new scholars to the various projects, Governing for Security makes a significant contribution to the profile of CEPS.

Abstract: Principles of Criminal Law, 3rd Edition, explores the criminal law of every Australian jurisdiction and seeks to place it into the wider context of Australian society. It examines the principles of the law in detail, providing a thought-provoking and engaging experience for the reader by analysing and challenging these principles from interdisciplinary perspectives, such as sociology, psychology, criminology, and legal theory.

Abstract: Crime Over Time features original contributions from some of Australia’s most respected criminologists and historians. The book marries these two disciplines to offer a unique examination of crime and deviance over more than 200 years of Anglo-Australian history. This innovative compilation explores the intriguing ways in which Australian crime has evolved and the pioneering ways criminal justice agencies have dealt with offenders. The topics investigated range from colonial bushranging to terrorist attacks, along with emerging forms of criminal activity, such as cybercrime.
