Our Research
Our actions need to be grounded in evidence to alleviate the root causes of crime and improve social well-being. Knowing the difference between what will work and what could complicate things is critical.
“The offender of tomorrow is often the vulnerable child of today.”
We draw on research to ensure the most effective strategies and approaches are applied. The research we do is shared through:
FACTS & STATS
ROOT CAUSES
REPORTS
VIDEOS
We are looking to further develop our Knowledge Exchange Centre in the coming months. If you have a project or idea you would like to share with us, we’d love to hear from you!
5 Goals for the Knowledge Exchange Centre
- Facilitate communication between different communities – academic, practitioner and the public
- Facilitate and promote evidence based practice and policy making
- Create opportunities for practitioners and academics to collaborate
- Build capacity in the community to prevent and reduce crime by synthesizing research evidence for diverse populations
- Engage stakeholders and academics to collaboratively identify current research and issues related to crime prevention and social determinants of crime
The Knowledge Exchange Centre will engage researchers, practitioners, the public, and policy makers in the creation, sharing, leveraging and application of knowledge to prevent and reduce crime.
More to come in the months ahead….stay tuned!
