Community Justice Project

Too often government, social and criminal justice policy focuses on the symptoms rather than the causes of ongoing injustice in society. This subject partners with community agencies to work on a research problem identified by the agencies themselves. The agencies come in and discuss areas of their work that would benefit from criminological research. The subject coordinator works with you on developing a project, doing research, preparing a response and presenting this to the agency in conversation with them. Past agency partners have included the Human Rights Law Centre, Fitzroy Legal Service, WEstjustice, Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service, Consumer Action Law Centre, Australian African Foundation for Retention and Opportunity (AAFRO) and Banksia Gardens Community Service.
