Australia

The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) is committed to protecting children and young people from the risk of harm or abuse. Several elements of our work directly support providing a safe environment for children in Australia.

Introduction

The Australian of Criminology (the AIC) is an agency subject to the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) and is required to comply with the Information Publication Scheme (IPS) requirements. This agency plan describes how the AIC proposes to do this, as required by s 8(1) of the FOI Act.

The AIC is Australia's national research and knowledge centre on crime and justice. The AIC seeks to promote justice and reduce crime by undertaking and communicating evidence-based research to inform policy and practice.
