About this Unit
An important aspect of contemporary policing in Australia involves co-operation between policing institutions, various government and non-government agencies and community based groups. This broad based multi-agency network is responsible for assisting in the prosecution of crime and for the implementation of crime prevention strategies, whilst identifying and attempting to minimise the socially constructed causes of crime. This unit examines the way policing and other government agencies theoretically and practically interact. The content focuses on multi-agency effectiveness in responding to major crime, family voilence, emergency management and other challenging behaviours within the community.
