Criminologists Andrew Goldsmith and Mark Halsey are investigating the ascent of a gun culture within organised crime gangs – seeking answers behind the increasing rate of offences involving handguns and other firearms.

“We are interested, for example, in the use of handguns by people like bikies, gang members and people in the drug trade. These guys may once have taken a knife as their form of intimidation and protection but their use of handguns is escalating,” Professor Halsey said.

“We want to understand how it got to this stage – what kind of value they give to their weapon in terms of getting the job done and what it means to carry one type of pistol compared to another. We need to better understand what drives crime and the roles of different perpetrators – what it means to actually pull the trigger instead of merely displaying a gun. There are also a lot of questions about how the illicit gun market has changed in recent years, so we can develop a picture of where guns are coming from and how criminals find them.”

The secretive nature of organised crime is a distinct impediment to this research but the professors have done a range of work with the prison system and have found there is much to be learned from those convicted of crimes involving guns once they’re in prison.

“Going into prisons and talking to convicted offenders of drug and gun crimes isn’t by any stretch of the imagination a walk in the park. They’re generally distrustful of us at first and scared the information they share could make their sentence worse, but we have found honesty is our best weapon against this,” Professor Goldsmith said.

“It can take some time to build their trust but once we have it, these guys are an incredible wealth of knowledge about the link between guns and organised crime in Australia.”

Professor Andrew Goldsmith, Strategic Professor of Criminology

Professor Mark Halsey, ARC Future Fellow

Despite some of the strictest gun laws in the world, Australia’s criminal underworld still manage to get their hands on a wide range of weapons.

“As a legal practitioner, business owner and employer, I am impressed with the qual ity of students that Fl inders University is producing. They seem to be more work-ready, wel l-rounded and knowledgeable. I consider their students to be sol id and seasoned contenders for positions I offer in my firm.”

The prestigious scholarship offers a unique opportunity for postgraduate students to study at the University of Oxford in England and perpetuates the commitment to learning, research and humanity of businessman and philanthropist Cecil Rhodes.

Rhodes Scholars are chosen for their outstanding academic achievement, character, leadership and a commitment to service. The Rhodes Scholarships support students who demonstrate strong propensity to emerge as ‘leaders for the world’s future’.

At Oxford University, Jordan plans to continue his commercial law studies specialising in public-private partnerships (PPPs), the method of financing infrastructure projects between the public and private sectors.

“After graduation, I hope to work and learn at the World Bank PPP Centre, before returning to Australia,” he says, adding Australia is in a prime position to help the development of Asia-Pacific nations with sustainable PPPs and enabling legislation.

“Many of these developing nations are desperate for social infrastructure investment but the complexity of PPPs means that they may lack the expertise necessary to implement them.”
