Components of a policy brief
A policy brief consists of three separate but interlinked components:
A brief (one page)executive summaryof research explaining what the offence is and why it is significant.
A detailedanalysis of existing government policiesthat are relevant to the offence, specifically addressing their strengths and weaknesses.
A suite ofrecommended changes to existing policies, including one to three significant changes that would offer a more comprehensive response than what is currently in place.
Requirements of your policy brief
As with the research essay, the policy brief must be well researched and supported by relevant scholarly and governmental sources.
The tone of your policy brief should be informative, succinct, critical and persuasiveremember, its your job to offer practical, real world solutions to the issue at hand. It is also important not to assume the minister knows anything about the selected cyber crime you have chosen.
Where possible, use real world examples of government policies that have been used and have demonstrated success (or failure) in other jurisdictions.
