Multi-Site Trials of Third Party Policing: Building the Scientific Capacity for Experimental Criminology and Evidence-Based Social Policy in Australia

据估计，澳大利亚每年的犯罪成本为360亿美元，其中69亿美元用于警察服务。该项目将资助一系列实地实验，以测试第三方警务的有效性。第三方警务是一种有前途的新警务方法，涉及警察与社区、企业和其他政府机构合作，利用法规和民事法律更好地控制犯罪。这项研究将加强澳大利亚的社会和经济结构，提高澳大利亚进行多地点、多国实地试验的能力，将科学实验证据的使用制度化，以指导犯罪控制政策，并帮助保护澳大利亚免受恐怖主义和犯罪的侵害。

The estimated cost of crime in Australia is $36 billion with $6.9 billion spent on police services each year. This project will fund a series of field experiments testing the effectiveness of Third Party Policing: a promising, new policing approach that involves police partnering with communities, businesses and other government agencies to use regulations and civil laws to better control crime. The research will strengthen Australia's social and economic fabric, grow Australia's capacity to conduct multi-site, multi-country field trials, institutionalise the use of scientific experimental evidence to guide crime control policies, and help safeguard and protect Australia from terrorism and crime.
