It identifies the benefits such research has provided and assesses whether the community has received value for the funds expended. The Australian Institute of Criminology is used as a case study to illustrate the challenges and pressures facing those who have sought to carry out independent crime and justice research in the public sector, to assess what fifty years of work has achieved and to determine whether or not there remains a need for criminologists to be employed by governments. The book is based on extensive archival research, administrative data analysis, interviews with current and previous staff and the perspectives of scholars in comparable institutions globally. It presents new historical information as well as current and future critical perspectives on crime and justice research in a unique Australian government organization. Russell G Smith has qualifications in law, psychology and criminology from the University of Melbourne, Australia, and a PhD from King?s College London, UK. After almost 25 years working at the Australian Institute of Criminology, he is now Honorary Fellow at the Institute and Professor in the College of Business, Government and Law at Flinders University, Australia. 606 $aCriminology?History 606 $aCriminology 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aSchool administration 606 $aHistory of Criminology 606 $aCriminology in the Global South 606 $aResearch Methods in Criminology 606 $aPublic Administration 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aOrganization and Leadership 615 0$aCriminology?History. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aSchool administration. 615 14$aHistory of Criminology. 615 24$aCriminology in the Global South. 615 24$aResearch Methods in Criminology. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aOrganization and Leadership. 676 $a364.072094 676 $a364.072094 700 $aSmith$b Russell G$0130431 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910735779803321 996 $aPublic Sector Criminological Research$93418520 997 $aUNINA
