Australian Institute of Criminology

There is actual criminology research looking at why people join outlaw motorcycle gangs.

In 2024, researchers with the Australian Institute of Criminology, this is where the Australia sources come from.

Australia.

Shout out to my Australian friends, Amanda.

All government agencies are required to develop an internal AI use register under the Digital Transformation Authority's Responsible Use of AI in Government policy, which came into force on June fifteen, with a final delivery deadline in December.

The Productivity Commission was the only agency hit with an FOI yet to complete its register, while the Workplace Gender Equality Agency and the Australian Institute of Criminology supplied only draft registers without further detail.

Logged use cases by other agencies range from the development of podcast scripts and advertising videos to tools hunting for internal budget savings, the rehabilitation of a uranium mine, fraud detection, and even the tracking of feral chickens in Norfolk Island National Park.

Larger departments, including Health and Industry and regulators such as the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, ASIC, were more likely to have a wider variety of, uh, more novel AI at work.

Well, these are all terrible, probably preventable tragedies and it is a very complex issue.

But what I would like to do, I would like to sort of somewhat confound this debate because in the last 36 years, when we look at intimate partner violence and homicide rates, According to the Australian Institute of Criminology, that rate has actually decreased by 70%.

Decreased?

Decreased.
