The AIC achieved or exceeded its targets for all five of its performance criteria. During the year, all Trends & issues and Research Reports were subject to rigorous, double-blind peer review, ensuring that the Institute’s research stands up to external scrutiny. In total, 28 peer-reviewed reports were produced, against a target of 23 for the year. See Appendix 1 for further details.
The AIC also intended to release four Statistical Reports during the year and all were released as planned, thereby helping to achieve the target of producing 38 other publications. For details of these publications, see Appendix 2.
Recognising the importance of disseminating research findings through face-to-face events, as well as through publication, the AIC also has a target of holding 10 roundtables, workshops and other forums each year. In 2018–19, 12 such events were held on a range of topics, including child exploitation material, the mafia, organised crime, CCTV, domestic violence and youth crime. See Appendix 3 for further details.
