What the Public Think about Social Services
This article reports on findings of a government-funded research project which set out to understand what the public think about social services in Scotland. The authors were particularly keen to examine issues of legitimacy, trust and licence to operate for social services as they are framed in public perceptions. Drawing on a national online survey of 2,505 nationally representative adults, the findings provide the first and largest empirical d…

Ntensification, population and social change in south-eastern Australia
Insights into past societies have nearly always been achieved through archaeological investigation, but by studying skeletal rather than cultural remains it is possible to make substantial additions to this knowledge. This is especially so in regard to the evaluation of environmental pressures exerted on individuals living a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Such biological studies also add further dimensions to the investigation of prehistory. It is, a…
Evidence-based Social Work
Evidence-based practice is now a core element of many governments’ approaches to policy making and social intervention. It has become a powerful movement that promises to change the content and structure of social work and its allied professions. Its emergence has generated much debate and raised challenging questions, however, particularly at the interface of research, policy, and practice. This book provides a critical analysis of evidence-base…
Heinrich Meier, Leo Strauss and the Theologico-Political Problem
Local orders and global chaos in social work
We live supposedly, in a runaway global world that is permeated with risk, disaster and uncertainty. Social work, at least at the level of policy and research, has been seen to be responding to the globalization discourse. Its tendency is to try and deepen its own institutional reflexivity with a growing awareness of its own place within the new information age and neo liberal moral order. In this paper it’s suggested that social work has at best…
Palaeopathology of Aboriginal Australians
The book offers a theoretical approach to Upper Pleistocene regional epidemiology and also presents empirical data of the health of late Pleistocene and Holocene populations. Major categories of disease described are: stress, osteoarthritis, fractures, certain congenital malformations, neoplasms, non-specific and treponemal infection as well as some surgical techniques used by Aboriginal people. Much of the book's discussion takes a regional appr…

Palaeopathology of Aboriginal Australians
While their health has suffered enormously because of the arrival of the Europeans, it is assumed that Aboriginal people enjoyed good health before 1788. Using data collected from all parts of the continent, this 1995 book studies the health of Australia's original inhabitants over 50,000 years. It represents the first continental survey of its kind and is the first to quantify and describe key aspects of Australian hunter-gatherer health. The bo…

Cranial thickening in an Australian hominid as a possible palaeoepidemiological indicator
This paper describes the cranial thickening of a late Pleistocene hominid (Willandra Lakes Hominid 50) from Australia. The unusual development of the vault structures in this individual has few, if any, equals among other hominids or more recent populations from around the world. The vault morphology is, therefore, described in terms of a pathologically related condition associated with the modern haemolytic blood dyscrasias, typical of sickle ce…
Prehistoric eye disease (trachoma?) in Australian Aborigines
This paper discusses an as yet undescribed lesion of the orbit in Australian Aboriginal skeletal populations. The rather high frequency and geographical distribution of the lesion suggests an association with a common, chronic eye infection. Using differential diagnosis to eleminate a variety of ophthalmic conditions, it is proposed that chronic trachoma may be a possible causative agent. Distribution of the lesion follows that of trachoma among …
Two possible cases of trephination from Australia
Cranial surgery has been performed for thousands of years among a wide range of cultures. Although the extent of its use has varied, ethnographically the operation has almost always been used as a form of medical treatment following cranial trauma or as a remedy for head pain. This paper describes two cases of cranial trauma on Australian Aboriginal remains from widely separated areas of the continent. The position and morphology of the trauma, a…
Prehistoric Human Skeletal Remains from Cowra and the Macquarie Marsh, New South Wales
We describe the finding of a skeleton in a cave near Cowra, New South Wales. For identification purposes we have examined the bones to determine if they were prehistoric Aboriginal remains, in which case they would come under the domain of the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) legislation and the local Aboriginal Land Council. If they were post-contact remains the police would be required to investigate. We also include a…
A congenital meningocoele in prehistoric Australia
This report concerns a congenital meningocoele in a young adult Aboriginal female from north‐western New South Wales, Australia. The fact that this individual reached adulthood throws new light on the attitude of these nomadic people towards such conditions. Evidence of this kind may prompt also a re‐evaluation by prehistorians and anthropologists of the popularly held belief that all such malformations were automatically eliminated by infanticid…
Cribra Orbitalia
Prehistoric stress in Australian Aborigines
This palaeopathological study records the stress related disease patterns of the precontact Australian Aboriginal continental population. In the absence of any previous work of this sort in Australia, it is the beginning of a new avenue of investigation into Australia’s prehistory. Almost all Pleistocene and Recent Aboriginal skeletal remains held in museum collections around Australia were examined and all regions of the continent are represente…
