Fakers and Forgers, Deception and Dishonesty: An Exploration of the Murky World of Art Fraud
This article examines the problem of fraud in the contemporary art market. It addresses two major cases where persons have been convicted of art fraud in recent years in Australia, examining the legal context within which the prosecutions took place. It then examines problems in common terms such as ‘forgery’ and ‘fakery’. The final sections review the different ways that issues of authenticity in art are addressed in possible cases of art fraud,…
Violence, Masculinity and Evolution: A Comment on Wilson and Daly
While considerable research exists demonstrating that forms of violence such as homicide are fundamentally masculine in character, few satisfactory explanations have emerged in criminology regarding why it is that males account for so much violence. Wilson and Daly are an exception to this observation, and their theoretical work is focused precisely on the issue of the masculinity of violence. Their explanation is grounded in evolutionary psychol…

A Dynamic Analysis of Educational Attainment
This paper traces the educational attainment experiences of a cohort of young men in the Pacific Northwest between the ages of 16 and 31. The experiences of this cohort reveal that a college degree is the net result of movement through a complex series of steps. We traced the movement of the cohort through these steps andfound that completion of a college degree and graduate school attendance required success at every stage in the process. In oth…

Schools and Delinquency
Social Class, School Experience, and Delinquency
Albert Cohen's delinquency theory is vulnerable to demonstrations of similar qualities, as well as similar quantities, of delinquency between middle and working‐class groups. In analyses of questionnaire data from a high school male population, no significant differences in incidence of delinquency emerge between classes. No significant differences obtain between classes of delinquents on items tapping the peer or subcultural dimensions Cohen con…

Youth Culture and the School: A Replication
This paper is a replication of a previous study done by Barry Sugarman in British schools, concerning involvement in youth culture and the school orientation of the student.' Sugarman sees adolescence as a time of stress and educational decision making, arguing that there are two dominant adolescent life styles available to the student. Firstly, that of the official 'pupil' role-involving the acceptance of the values and norms held by the school.…
A Reassessment of Middle Class Delinquency
Class, Strain and Rebellion among Adolescents
This investigation is a test of one hypothesis advanced in the work of Arthur Stinchcombe which states that higher rates of rebellion in a high school are to be found among academically unsuccessful (and therefore downwardly-mobile) middleclass boys than among working-class boys who similarly are poor performers in school. Drawing upon interview responses from 284 boys selected from a group of high schools in a county in the Pacific Northwest, we…
