We are a joint research team from Griffith University, Massey
University and the
Queensland Police Service. The principle researchers have over 25
years of research experience and 25 years of policing service under
their belt and our research assistants all have at least one higher
education degree to their name.
Our ultimate goal in undertaking this research is to increase safety
for people entering and exiting entertainment precincts by better catering for
their needs. For example, if people are predominantly preloading
(i.e., drinking before going out) we may advise that more street
food outlets and free water be available. We may also revise how
these precincts are policed - making more police available to the
public earlier in the evening.
When we have our results we will compile a report with anonymous
data (i.e., we will not be collecting names or details of
participants) and publish honours and masters and PhDS theses, as
well as advise media and governments of our results. We will also
write a manuscript for publication in the scientific literature.
This data may also form the basis of a student's higher degree
thesis. In all cases we will only have anonymous data. If you would
like a summary of the results please sign-up by
