Mass Hysteria, Manufacturing Crisis and the Legal Reconstruction of Acceptable Exercise during a Pandemic
There is a saying in that every crisis is an opportunity. Unfortunately, this seems to be applied more to politicians seeking to extend their powers over citizens, and less to citizens attempting to imagine new forms of accountable government. The Covid-19 pandemic has created an extraordinary shift in people’s freedoms in a short space of time, with little interrogation or apparent concern with the legal basis of this shift. Exercise has been on…
Sexting
Sexting is an activity most commonly associated with young people that consists in sending sexual images of oneself or others via mobile communications. While it can be considered a form of sexual expression, sexting also raises issues of privacy, harassment, and harm, particularly when it is nonconsensual
Those Exceptionally Thin-skinned Americans
In September 2013, revelations that the U.S. National Security Agency had for years spied on German Chancellor Angela Merkel (to the point of tapping her personal cell phone) roiled the country’s relations with Washington. Merkel was hardly the only victim, nor were Germans the only people outraged by the voracious and seemingly indiscriminate appetite of U.S. intelligence agencies. Nevertheless, for a certain class of U.S. intellectuals and poli…
Challenging childhood, challenging children
Concern with children’s online safety dominated the early days of the internet, fuelled by a fear of online predators able to utilise online technologies to manipulate their identities and groom children. Such adults strike at long held notions of childhood innocence and often commit serious offences as a result. However, a possibly unforeseen consequence of new online technologies has been the apparent capacity they afford to children themselves…
Sexualizing the child
In 2008 internationally acclaimed Australian photographer Bill Henson planned to exhibit some of his work at a Sydney Gallery. This included photographs of a naked 12-year-old child. When one image was used in publicity to promote the exhibition it came to the attention of the organizer of a child advocacy group who complained to police that the image constituted child pornography. The subsequent seizing of the images gave rise to a community deb…

Policing Victorian Public Transport
In Victoria, responsibility for policing the public transport system was recently transferred to the Victoria Police, the official rationale for this development relied on the notion of a crime crisis and the need for a ‘crackdown’ on transport security. However, a more convincing explanation for this transfer can be found in Transport Department mismanagement, bureaucratic bungling, and alleged criminal activities of railway investigation office…

A Chipping-floor at Orleigh Court, North Devon
The chipping-floor and its associated artifacts, situated at Orleigh Court in the parish of Buckland Brewer, lie about four miles south-west of Bideford in North Devon (fig. i), where an area of about three-quarters of a square mile is covered by a gravel deposit of doubtful age. The gravel has a foxy red colour and, in its upper portion, is characterized by an abundance of flint nodules, of a type which could have been derived only from the Chal…
