Abstract

The Criminology Research Council (CRC) supports criminological research that is relevant to current and future public policy issues, fosters the undertaking of quality research, and ensures that this research is disseminated effectively. This article describes the composition and procedures of the CRC; the kinds of projects it supports; the grant application and selection process; and other initiatives of the CRC. Criticisms of the CRC are also considered. Recent examples of CRC funded research are listed in an appendix, along with graphs summarising the percentage of grant submissions approved, 1973-2002, and median and range for dollar amounts of grants approved, 1973-2002.
