This research uses differential equations to model how people move between law-abiding life, crime, and incarceration. By simulating rehabilitation, overcrowding, and policy changes, the work shows how prisons can sometimes produce crime—and how evidence-based mathematical models can guide smarter decisions that reduce crime and build safer communities.

This research examines why Australian truth commissions consistently fail, focusing on deep mismatches between First Nations concepts of justice and Western institutional frameworks. Through interviews with Indigenous community members and past commissioners, the study identifies what First Australians want from truth processes, aiming to design future commissions that governments genuinely support and implement.
