The ARC Centre of Excellence in Policing and Security (CEPS)



Established on 1 January 2008, the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence in Policing and Security (CEPS) is a major research partnership between The Australian National University, Griffith University, The University of Queensland and Charles Sturt University. The Centre also brings together a range of industry partners that are committed to innovation and evidence-based research in policing and security.

The Centre's goal is to gain a better understanding of the origins, motivations and dynamics of crime and security threats. Its objectives are to create significant transformations in crime, crime prevention and security policies, and to bring about evidence-based reform in the practices of policing and security to enhance Australia's social, economic and cultural wellbeing.
