The Library has a collection of English-language material with a strong Australian representation, and an emphasis on recent literature. Subjects covered by the collection include criminology, the social sciences, policing, corrections, and criminal justice.

The library may be able to assist with advice on sources of information for inquiries. Contact the library for help. Please note that the library is not able to provide in-depth reference services.
