Teaching Organization Theory and Practice: An Experiential and Reflective Approach
The organization is often the overlooked level in social work's ecological perspective. However, organizational realities exert a profound influence on human development and well‐being as well as the nature and quality of social work practice. This article describes a model of teaching organization theory and practice which requires master's social work students to assess their school of social work as well as their field placement agencies. Teac…
Hidden Markov models for character recognition
A hierarchical system for character recognition with hidden Markov model knowledge sources which solve both the context sensitivity problem and the character instantiation problem is presented. The system achieves 97-99% accuracy using a two-level architecture and has been implemented using a systolic array, thus permitting real-time (1 ms per character) multifont and multisize printed character recognition as well as handwriting recognition.
The Effects of Sexually Explicit Media Material: A Research Criminologist's Perspective
When Justice Fails: A Preliminary Examination of Serious Criminal Cases in Australia
A preliminary survey suggests that the number of wrongful convictions in Australia for murder and other serious offences may be considerable. Reference is made to key elements in the criminal justice system that are significant in these cases. The elements called in question include police behaviour, expert evidence, witness evidence, media response and the trial process. Policy implications of these elements are discussed and some suggestions to…

Medical Fraud and Abuse: Australia, Canada, and the United States
Criminologists have paid scant attention to the issue of crime and abuse in the field of the delivery of health care by physicians. However, largely because of the escalating costs of such services in recent years, government officials and academics have begun to examine this form of white-collar crime. The present paper explores the.extent of violations by physicians in the course of their involvement in health benefit programs in Australia, Can…
Social Antecedents of Medical Fraud and Over‐Servicing: What Makes A Doctor Criminal
Medical fraud and overservicing are estimated to cost the Australian community between $130 and $200 million per annum, a figure far greater than the national cost of burglary and almost the same as the total property loss from all conventional crime. An examination of the social antecedents of medical fraud and overservicing suggests that the predisposition of some doctors to engage in these practices occurs because of the following: (1) medical…

Social Deviance in Australia
Reported Consequences of Decriminalization of Consentual Adult Homosexuality in Seven American States
This article reports results of a survey of police officials, prosecuting attorneys, and members of homosexual groups in the seven states that had decriminalized private homosexual behavior between consenting adults. Despite the dire predictions of many, the responses indicate that, among other things, decriminalization has had no effect on the involvement of homosexuals with minors, the use of force by homosexuals, or the amount of private homos…

The Police and the Public in Australia and New Zealand
INTRODUCTION Commentators on Antipodean way of life have long identified a strong anti-authoritarian trait among Australians and New Zealanders. It is an attitude which perhaps first came under notice of outside world during course of two World Wars when Australians, and to a lesser extent New Zealanders, gained reputation of having little respect for military symbols of authority. Within Australia, anti-authoritarian attitudes have more recently…
Laymen, 'Scholars' and Social Issues
The Trouble with Lawyers
The Australian legal system and lawyers as a professional group are critically examined in three main areas: excessively high legal costs in certain areas; failure to provide legal services within the reach of the poorer sections of the community; and failure to become involved and to press for reform on important sociological and socio‐legal matters
