International Criminology
International Criminology is an easy-access critical introduction to how conventional criminologists in the international arena think about and research crime. By using examples from the US, UK and Australia, the authors outline key ideas, vocabulary, assumptions and findings of the discipline while opening up a set of critical underlying issues and problems. From theoretical traditions to historical perspectives; contemporary criminology to refl…

Globalisation’, Governance and social work
This article focuses cautiously on the implications of ‘globalisation’ for social work theory and practice. In drawing on recent debates it is argued that, despite its contested meaning, ‘globalisation’ points to a range of rapid and fundamental socioeconomic and political transformations that have impacted upon entire regions of the work. Some of these transformations are identified and analysed in terms of their consequences for transnational, …
The ‘Thin White Line’
Case study into the reasons why local residents in Conville, an outer-western suburb of Townsville, formed vigilante groups in order to combat crime which they perceived emanated from Indigenous juveniles - the influence of questionable local folk knowledge which saw Aborigines as the cause of social disorder - the construction of Indigenous people as a 'problem

Listening to the families of juvenile offenders
This article reports on a study of the families of juvenile offenders in Townsville, north Queensland. The experiences of four sets of parents are discussed in some detail. These accounts reflect the larger sample of 20 families. It is argued that in contrast to current widely held assumptions that equate juvenile crime with parental negligence the study shows that parents are in fact actively involved in attempts to curtail their children's offe…
Parenting on trial
Family Experiences of Juvenile Crime
This paper examines the focus on the connections between family life and juvenile crime. Existing literature silences the voices of young offenders and their families and renders them the passive objects of empirical inquiry. The resulting one-dimensional representation of offenders and their families vastly over-simplifies the complexities of family life and ignores the specific consequences of criminalization for all family members. This paper …
Public Consultation and Juvenile Justice Reform
The paper examines critically the relationship between the rhetoric and reality of the then Queensland Government's consultation procedures in relation to the 1992 Juvenile Justice Bill. It is argued that although the State Government viewed consultation as central to the process of social policy reform, the steps adopted to achieve this in the case of the Juvenile Justice Bill were regarded widely as inadequate in a number of important respects.…

These accounts are considered in the light of the official discourse relating to the aims and objectives of the Youth Assistance Panel. The views of prominent welfare organisations in the Townsville area are also discussed. The study illustrates clearly the gulf between panel m…
