The CJRC is calling for new members. The Consortium is a successful semi-virtual network of participants united by an interest in criminal justice, drawn a range of faculties of Monash University. The CJRC operates collegially, addressing its objectives by facilitating interaction internally and externally. It supports and enhances criminal justice-related research activities across the university. Successful past events of the CJRC have included a ’speed dating’ workshop to increase knowledge of members’ research interests, and seminars on topics such as mental health law and the Victorian Charter of Human Rights. The CJRC also facilitates cross-disciplinary grant applications and co-supervision of HDR students. The CJRC is led by an Executive Committee comprised of representatives from each faculty of Monash University represented in its membership base. The Executive Committee has established an Advisory Committee, whose membership includes representatives from interested government and non-government organisations at both the state and federal level. It is chaired by the Honourable John Coldrey QC. To become a member of the CJRC, please contact Katie Barnett, Executive Officer by phone +61 3 990 34965 or email Katie.Barnett@med.monash.edu.au.
