Crime & Terrorism
Think Tank Programme
Our Programme
Our focus for the Crime and Terrorism Think-Tank is on understanding, analysing and providing meaningful insights on crime and terrorism. As law and criminology academics, both Dr Hiruy Gebreegziabher and Samaya Borom are interested in how crime and terrorism impacts upon society as well as the socio-political, legal and governmental responses that arise from such matters. The Crime and Terrorism Think-Tank researches and presents workshops, conference papers and policy papers broadly across law and terrorism studies, including terrorism in Africa, the increasing visibility of right-wing terrorism in Australia and globally, the human rights compatibility of criminal (including anti-terrorism) legislation, and the impact of crime and terrorism on gender. The Crime and Terrorism Think-Tank offers the expertise of the Co-Leads in research, policy and partnerships on topics of interest.
