Graduate Certificate of Crime, Risk and Resilience | ANU College of Asia & the Pacific

Program Page

The criminological threats and governance challenges confronting police, justice, regulatory and security actors are increasing in our networked world. The significance and complexity of these issues are in-turn exacerbated by the compounding effects of systemic crises, for example Covid-19 pandemic and climate change, which generate significant disruptions and uncertainties. Combatting harmful and illicit activities in the face of disruptions, crises, and poly-crises therefore requires innovative and holistic strategies for conceptualising and addressing crime, risk and resilience and the Graduate Certificate in Crime, Risk & Resilience (CCRR) has been developed with this purpose in mind.
