Deaths in Custody in Britain and Australia 1
An examination of the available evidence relating to deaths in prison and police custody for Britain and for Australia reveals that the Australian prison crude death rate is twice as high as the equivalent rate for England and Wales. There were equal proportions of suicides in both groups, but the prison deaths from England and Wales were much more likely to be among remandees than was the case in Australia. The Scottish prison death rate was fou…
The Use of Imprisonment on Groote Eylandt

Crime victims and the police
Over half of all the crimes which occur in Australia are not reported to the police. For various reasons the victims do not make any official complaint, and it is of considerable interest to psychologists as well as to criminal justice personnel to examine these reasons in detail. A recent survey conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics makes it possible to do this. This survey established that the most common reason for non-reporting was…
On Being Unemployed and Being a Victim of Crime
The results of the first Australian National Crime Victims Survey concerning the socio‐economic status of victims of crime in Australia are discussed. While the findings on occupational status and household income are somewhat equivocal, the data show a strikingly higher rate of criminal victimization among the unemployed for a number of types of crime. The unemployed, spending a large proportion of their lives in public rather than private space…
