122. Australia Reports Lowest Number Of Homicides In Nine Years (11 Feb 1999) [Media Press release from the Australian Institute of criminology. http://www.aic.gov.au/media/990211.html

Advanced search Home About Contact ... Back Media Release Australia reports lowest number of homicides in nine years 11 February 1999 Last year Australia recorded the lowest number of homicides since the Australian Institute of Criminology began the National Homicide Monitoring Program in 1989. Preliminary analysis from the Australian Institute of Criminology for 1997/98 indicates that there were 297 homicide incidents and 311 homicide victims. In approximately 80 per cent of all homicide incidents the victim and the offender were known to each other. Homicides involving intimate partners comprised 23 per cent of all homicides last year. "These are the first findings from the latest collection by our Homicide Monitoring program. Given the high proportion of homicides which are family-related or where the victim and assailant were known to each other, it appears that violence is used too often to solve emotional issues", said AIC Director, Dr Adam Graycar. "The policy thrust to address such issues needs to be in terms of broad-based violence prevention and violence management." "The full figures will be released, and these issues discussed, at our 3rd National Outlook Symposium on Crime in Australia on 22-23 March in Canberra", Dr Graycar said.

Ogilvie highlights the three primary ways in which cyperstalking is conducted: email stalking; internet stalking; and computer stalking. She outlines three methods used to counter cyberstalking, all of which have varying degrees of success: personal protection; technical fixes; and legislation.

The Jerry Lee Center of Criminology 3814 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104 Tel: (215) 898-8216 Fax: (215) 898-1202 The mission of the Jerry Lee Center of Criminology at the University of Pennsylvania is to produce major discoveries about the causes and prevention of crime, showing how to make a safer and more democratic world. The University of Pennsylvania is world renowned for its contributions to criminology.Since the 1920s, Penn has pioneered in research on such issues as capital punishment and juvenile delinquency. Over 100 Penn Ph.D.s who specialized in criminology are still active in their leadership of the field around the world. Students from all of Penn's undergraduate programs have filled introductory criminology classes for decades. Criminology is the scientific study of the criminal law: its making, breaking, and enforcing. It seeks to understand and predict these behaviors from a multi-disciplinary perspective. This goal has rarely been accomplished. For most of its history in the United States, the study of crime has been dominated by the discipline of sociology. In northern Europe, faculties of law have sponsored most degree programs in criminology, while in Italy criminology is found in medical and psychiatric faculties. None of these arrangements have fostered much truly multi-disciplinary work, linking different levels of analysis in a unified science.

ECRI Home About ECRI Company Overview The nature of serial crime creates unique problems for law enforcement agencies, requiring special police responses and investigative strategies. One of the focuses of any police investigation is the crime scene and its evidentiary contents. What is often overlooked, however, is a geographic perspective on the actions preceding the offense and the spatial behavior that led up to the crime scene. For any crime to occur, there must have been an intersection in both time and place between the victim and the offender. Based upon this and other successes, Rossmo developed (and subsequently patented) the Criminal Geographic Targeting model (CGT) and termed the phrase After extensive development, ECRI released the commercial version of Geographic Profiling Software. The software is named after a star within the Orion constellation, Rigel, signifying the support role it plays for the criminal investigator. Home About ECRI Geographic Profiling Rigel ... Site Map

You are in: CRIMINAL MIND/ CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGY CYBER-STALKING: OBSESSIONAL PURSUIT AND THE DIGITAL CRIMINAL By Wayne Petherick Introduction Though the legal recognition of stalking is a recent evolution, the behaviour that is involved is by no means a product of the 20 th century. It is known though that criminal behaviour is incredibly adaptive to new technologies, with credit card, mobile phone and computer fraud as examples. It is also acknowledged that stalking has now taken an on-line form, colloquially referred to as cyber-stalking. As the personal computer and the Internet bring the world into our homes, they provide access to a vast amount of information, and provide forums for individuals from all over the world to meet one another in a relatively anonymous environment. One example of these forums is the chat room where people from hundreds of countries may gather and meet, trade information and files, and chat about a range of topics from music to sex. Though this has bred a large number of international relationships, most of which prove harmless, it does present the possibility that ones on-line personality may become the target of unwanted attention.

Researching Criminal Justice The Internet is an excellent supplement to, but not a replacement for, traditional library research when preparing research papers. On these pages you will find suggestions and links for conducting part of your research with the help of the World Wide Web. Remember, however, to do the most complete research and prepare the best paper possible, you must also visit the library and dig through the articles, books, and other sources found there. Also check the page on writing papers . If you are new to the Internet, consider Beginner's Central for a great tutorial to get you started. A NOTE ON FORMAT The style and format of a research paper varies depending on the audience to which the paper is addressed. If you are preparing a course term paper, your instructor may have specific requirements for the paper's length, style, reference sources, etc. Manuscripts being prepared for submission to academic journals must meet that journal's style guidelines, which are usually found in issues of the journal itself or by writing to the journal editor. If your eventual audience is an agency board of directors, a gathering of politicians (like a city council or county commission), or a group of citizens, you have a bit more leeway in the style, format, and manner of presentation (consider a Power Point presentation, for example).

138. Backfire: When Incarceration Increases Crime Examines the ways in which prison may have inadvertently affected crime rates. By Todd R. Clear, Professor and Associate Dean, School of criminology and Criminal Justice, Florida State University. http://www.doc.state.ok.us/DOCS/OCJRC/Ocjrc96/Ocjrc7.htm

Backfire: When Incarceration Increases Crime by Todd R. Clear, Ph.D. Florida State University Abstract This paper examines various ways in which prison may have inadvertently affected crime rates. The question is important because, even though levels of imprisonment increased fivefold since 1973, crime rates have not dropped proportionately during this period. I argue that the crime-reducing aspects of imprisonment are considerably negated by the crime-enhancing ones. The paper focuses on three crime-enhancing effects of imprisonment. First, replacement of co-offenders may account for the failure of prisons to reduce crime. Replacement also results in an earlier and more sustained recruitment of young people into criminal careers. Second, as more people acquire a grounded knowledge of prison life, the power of prison to deter crime through fear of the unknown is diminished. Extensive reality-based experience of prisons in certain communities exponentially increases the significance of this problem. Finally, social factors known to contribute to criminality such as broken families, inequality, and social disorder increase with high rates of imprisonment, especially in certain communities. INTRODUCTION In the popular point of view, prisons are thought of as crime fighting-devices: exposing offenders to prison reduces crime. This viewpoint began governing penal policy in the early 1970s; since then, we have increased the size of our prison population fivefold.
