A new AIC study examined threads on a darknet forum for undetected online and contact child sexual offenders to identify key drivers and deterrents of offending and to inform intervention approaches.
Today the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC), in partnership with the Attorney-General the Hon Mark Dreyfus KC MP and state and territory police commissioners will celebrate the Australian Crime and Violence Prevention Awards (ACVPA).
The ACVPA recognise best practice in the prevention or reduction of violence and other types of crime in Australia and play a vital role in highlighting effective community-based initiatives to prevent crime and violence before it actually occurs.
On 12 November 2024, 9 projects were recognised for their contribution to the prevention of crime and violence in Australian communities.
The awards were held at a ceremony in Parliament House, Canberra. The winners were presented with their awards by the Hon. Mark Dreyfus KC MP, Attorney-General.
