Aims and Objectives of the Home Affairs, Policing and Security Science (HAPSS) Research Group

HAPSS seeks to advance public and community safety across Australia and globally through multi-disciplinary, collaborative, impactful, industry relevant research and consultancy outputs.

HAPSS brings together a large number of academics, and from across the Faculty of Business, Justice and Behavioural Sciences with diverse disciplines and knowledge areas, including but not limited to:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Behavioural sciences
  • Biosecurity and bioterrorism
  • Customs and border protection
  • Counter-terrorism
  • Criminology
  • Cyber security
  • Data sciences
  • Defence studies
  • Ethics, privacy and security
  • Emergency management
  • Engineering
  • Forensics
  • Financial crime
  • Intelligence studies
  • Justice studies
  • Law
  • Policing and law enforcement studies
  • Science and technology studies
  • Security studies

Some areas listed, for example cyber security, are the focus of existing and vibrant research areas in the Faculty. HAPSS does not dilute or duplicate efforts being made in other groups. Rather, HAPSS seeks to work closely with existing research groups and industry to help better broker and coordinate researchers and research efforts across different groups where there is a home affairs, policing and/or security science component to the research.

Homes Affairs, Policing and Security Science Research Group: National and CSU Research Priorities

HASS is aligned with the National Innovation and Science Agenda, particularly the pillars–collaboration and talent and skills. HAPSS, as recognised above, promotes greater research outputs in partnership with relevant industry partners that can produce world leading research and improved research infrastructure at Charles Sturt University (CSU). HAPSS also focuses on ‘talent and skills’ by identifying strategies to attract high quality digitally literate and entrepreneurial HDR students and researcher talent. The group also aims to develop the talent and skills of CSU researchers.

HAPSS works towards improving and expanding CSU’s ERA ratings, particularly in discipline areas where it has received a rating of 3 or more in recent ERA assessments (e.g., criminology and applied ethics).  Additionally, the activities of HAPSS align strongly with the ERA’s Engagement and Impact Assessment initiative, which seeks to assess the engagement and impact of research to end users beyond academia. From a University research policy perspective, HAPSS has been built around the Research Narrative. While a large proportion of HAPSS research falls under the university research narrative of ‘flourishing communities’, the cross-disciplinary nature of HAPSS undoubtedly leads to outputs that cut across the remaining university research narrative: resilient people and sustainable environments. Indeed, the researchers within HAPSS reside in the Faculty of Business, Justice and Behavioural Sciences, the group actively collaborates with researchers in other faculties on research in the domain of Home Affairs, Policing and Security Science, as well as outside of the university.

Home Affairs, Policing and Security Science Research Group - Industry engagement and impact

FRA members are already working with a number of national and international stakeholders. Current and potential industry partners include but are not limited to:

  • Australian Federal Police
  • ASIO
  • ONI
  • ASIS

  • Defence
  • ADFIS
  • ACIC
  • FBI
  • DHS
  • DEA
  • NZ Police
  • RCMP
  • NCA
  • MI5
  • ATO
  • AIPM
  • ANZPAA
  • AIPIO
  • Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet
  • College of Policing (UK)
  • Cyber Security CRC
  • Interpol
  • Indian Police Service
  • Hong Kong Police
  • NSW Committee Judiciary and the Academy
  • Immigration and Border Protection
  • State and territory police
  • Attorney-General departments (state and federal)
  • Corrections sector
  • Juvenile justice agencies
  • ANU
  • Queens University
  • Leicester University
  • Kings College London
  • Temple University
  • UNSW
  • Deakin University
  • Edith Cowan University
  • University of Georgia

  • XLAB (Slovenia)
  • Nanyang Technological University
  • Michigan State University
  • Chinese Academy of Science
  • University of Central Lancashire

Research comparative advantage:

CSU and particularly the Faculty of Business, Justice and Behavioural Sciences has a significant workforce capacity to develop a strong multi-disciplinary public safety and research agenda. For example, all of the 3.4 FTE staff allocated to work on the Cyber Security CRC come from either Australian Graduate School of Policing & Security (AGSPS), the School of Computing and Mathematics or Marketing. Staff allocated to the Cyber Security CRC will work on projects that cut across a lot of research topics being pursued by this HAPSS. Hence, there are already in place natural synergies that HAPSS utilises and can develop further beyond the Cyber landscape into other home affairs, policing and security science areas.

In particular, CSU has the strongest police and intelligence links of any university in Australia, including through the AGSPS. The AGSPS has more than two decades of experience in collaboration with national and international industry (e.g., law enforcement and security agencies), short courses in cyber security and policy, investigations, counter-terrorism and strategic intelligence. The AGSPS thus provides a well-established mechanism for the sharing and promotion of knowledge about policing, security risks and threats, public and community safety.

The AGSPS and School of Computing and Mathematics researchers working in the home affairs, policing and security sciences areas are also frequently called upon for media commentary as well as releasing media statements after major policy announcements or critical incidents such as a terrorist event. HAPSS aims to build on the branding that CSU has with many national and international media outlets by developing a media strategy for a more coordinated response to issues that promote HAPSS and the wider university.

HAPSS already demonstrates its capability to be a national leader in public safety and security related research. For example, in the 2018 ERA assessment, CSU achieved a rating of 3 in relevant areas such as criminology and artificial intelligence and a 4 in applied ethics. HAPSS allows CSU to provide a more coordinated and strategic approach to its research capabilities, thereby making it highly possible to achieve ratings of 4 or 5 in these and possibly other public safety and security related ERA clusters in the near future.

HAPSS seeks to develop those members of staff who do not have a track record in research and publishing from within the Faculty, but who want to engage with industry partners.

Finally, HAPSS includes a number of researchers, who have already demonstrated significant capability to complete impactful research and consultancy work in the public safety and security context and who would act as mentors for those individual wishing to develop in this area (see members section).
