LIAISON WITH THE AIC
The Director of the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) Adam Graycar met recently with Barbara Dunlop, First Assistant Statistician of ABS Social and Labour Statistics Division, and Stuart Ross Director of the NCCJS to discuss ways of working together. The meeting identified possible areas of collaboration.
The AIC is now using ABS prisoner census data as the basis for projects on trends in prisoner populations and forecasting models for correctional populations. Opportunities for analytical work on unpublished data from the Crime and Safety Survey, 1998 and common areas of interest in the illicit drug statistics were also discussed.
