ANU Program
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.
