Dr Don Weatherburn has taken on the adjunct professor position at Sydney Law School, following his resignation as executive director of NSW BOCSAR.
“We are delighted to have Dr Weatherburn join us at the University of Sydney Law School. I am confident he will contribute enormously to our ongoing vision to deliver innovative research and education in an evolving legal landscape,” said acting dean of the University of Sydney Law School Professor Cameron Stewart.
Professor Rita Shackel, co-director of the Sydney Institute of Criminology, added: “Dr Weatherburn brings with him a depth of knowledge and experience, particularly when it comes to applying data and research findings to contemporary issues in the criminal justice system”.
“The institute is very much looking forward to working with Don on challenging research issues and seeing that research benefit the community.”
Commenting on his new role, Dr Weatherburn said: “In terms of research, I would really like to get a better understanding of the impact of methamphetamine on regional communities, and I think a lot of work remains to be done on policing and crime”.
“I’d also really like to show students how to apply their skills to critically evaluate government policy. It can be great fun,” he noted.
