Key Centre for Ethics, Law, Justice and Governance

The Key Centre for Ethics, Law, Justice and Governance (KCELJAG) at Griffith University is one of the premier research centres in Australia examining issues concerning crime, justice, ethics, and governance.

Part of the strength and success of the Centre lies in our intensive and rigorous research focus, our commitment to inter-disciplinary research, our commitment to research collaboration and stakeholder partnerships, our people and values.

We undertake projects that seek to make a difference for the community, in advancing improved awareness and understanding, in informing and facilitating improvements in government policies and practices, and in promoting well being and returning social dividends to society.
