Welcome to our WikiProject

Project

Our goals are create more quality articles on historical and recent crime in Australia (such as convicts, bushrangers, Aboriginal massacres, rebellons, riots, terrorism, and deaths in custody), Australian criminal biography, and crime-related media. We also aim to fill in, organise, and standardise articles about related topics (such as law enforcement in Australia, punishment in Australia and indirectly, the judiciary of Australia and Australian crime studies and statistics).

We need your help! If you are familiar with Australian crimes, please feel free to:

• Join up! Add your name to Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian crime/Members.
• Attract attention... from editors interested in crime and Australian criminal-related topics.
• Discuss the project... on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian crime.
• Expand a stub. See Category:Crime stubs and Category:Australian crime biography stubs.
• Create an article... where a knowledge gap exists.
• Start a new area of the project. See the list of current areas below.
