The operational challenges for policing, justice, regulatory and security agencies across Australia, Asia and the Pacific, and globally, are increasing in our networked world. These challenges are exacerbated by the compounding effects of systemic crises, for example, the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change. These crises generate significant disruptions and uncertainties which stretch the capabilities of traditional governing actors and institutions. They also give rise to novel governance landscapes and arrangements, which traditional justice and security actors must navigate and adapt to as part of coordinated and collaborative responses to systemic risks and harms.Combatting harmful and illicit activities in the face of disruptions, crises, and poly-crises necessitates innovative and holistic strategies for conceptualising and addressing crime, risk and resilience. Enhancing the resilience of established crime control and policing institutions and security governance networks in-turn requires a new generation of working professionals and recent graduates with: a rich understanding of established crime control concepts, processes, models and practices; expert knowledge of the core regulatory principles and practices; and the ability to recognise and adapt to opportunities and risks across domains, using recent advances in systems-level thinking. The Graduate Certificate in Crime, Risk &amp; Resilience has been developed with this cohort in mind.Taught by experts based at the world-renowned School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), the Graduate Certificate of Crime, Risk &amp; Resilience is a rich interdisciplinary training experience. The curriculum has been developed to ensure that graduates develop knowledge and skills which will enable them to gain professional recognition as change agents and thought leaders across multiple sectors and domains that are working to prevent and reduce criminal harms in the face of growing complexity.

Address the challenges of regulating illegal activity which stretch the capabilities of traditional governing actors and institutions. You’ll consider crime in complex scenarios like global pandemics and climate change. Mitigate risk. Enhance resilience.

Graduate Certificate of Crime, Risk and Resilience

The Master of Regulation and Governance (MREGG) is a unique degree that equips students and their organisations to navigate environments where complexity, catastrophic risk, and transformative technologies are reshaping the ways in which we govern and regulate. Graduates from this program will be working in - or will join - government or private sector organisations charged with designing and applying regulatory policy solutions to pressing social problems, often in partnership with diverse stakeholders. Core courses provide students with a solid foundation in the concepts, processes, institutions and practice of regulation and governance. Elective courses provide case-studies, simulations and clinics in which to examine domains such as climate, crime, environment, health, Indigenous Australia, justice, safety, technology and urban design. All the courses are interactive and ask how regulation and governance is created and by whom - and for what purpose, with an emphasis on how to better anticipate catastrophe, manage risk and provide equitable social outcomes. It draws on the evidence-based research and the ‘big ideas’ in regulation and governance for which the ANU&#39;s RegNet academics are world famous. MREGG students join an education program at the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) that emphasizes interdisciplinary skills-building, our place in Asia and the Pacific, a stimulating curriculum, master classes with distinguished practitioners, global networks and multiple career pathways.

Bolster your governance skills and grow your global regulatory network. You’ll delve into special topics and complete a research project. Navigate complex social problems, manage risk, anticipate catastrophe. Take the next step in career progression.
