Nexus Policing Conference

May 26-28, 2008

Victoria, Australia

Over the last six years Victoria Police has developed what is perhaps the largest applied research program in the world of operational policing. The program has involved partnerships with no less than nineteen universities, both across Australia and abroad, and a total number of seventy-two researchers, ranging from professors to PhD students.

The disciplines involved include criminology, anthropology, organisational behaviour, forensic science, applied ethics, and, of course and crucially, field-based policing. We have already seen the outcomes of these collaborative research projects improving the ways in which Victoria Police does its business.

Through this conference, and through the publication and dissemination of research findings, I am confident of a positive impact upon policing generally, both here in Australia and internationally. I greatly look forward to your attendance.
