Two excellent papers have just been released. The fulltext of these papers can
be downloaded for free from (http:www.aic.gov.au)



Trends & Issues in Crime and Criminal Justice No. 176
Stalking: Policing and Prosecuting Practices in three Australian Jurisdictions
Emma Ogilvie
November 2000


This paper examines stalking trends as indicated by police and court data
across three different jurisdictions, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland.
It must be noted, however, that legislation and enforcement practices vary
significantly across these jurisdictions, and therefore direct comparisons are
not possible. Nevertheless, this Trends and Issues paper is a significant
Australian contribution to a new field of research.

The issue of stalking is one that has only recently begun to receive sustained
attention, and consequently the literature is relatively sparse and generally
rather specialised. To date, the research investigating the
characteristics of stalking behaviours, including the impact upon victims of
stalking and the attributes of offenders, has been characterised by forensic
investigations into the psychological profiles of stalkers, with
occasional excursions into the area by sociologists, feminists and policy
makers. There is, however, a dearth of literature examining criminal justice
system practices relating to stalking. This paper contributes
to this very new field of research by providing an overview of current police
and courts data as they take account of stalking.




Trends & Issues in Crime and Criminal Justice   No. 166
Cyberstalking   Emma Ogilvie
September 2000

Victims of stalking suffer dreadfully, and the nature of the response to their
plight varies across jurisdictions. To add to traditional forms of stalking,
there have been experience of email stalking, Internet stalking and computer
stalking. The Australian Institute of Criminology has been a pioneer in the
analysis of cyber crime, and this paper adds to that body of knowledge.

This paper examines cyberstalking as an example of a crime that is
simultaneously both amenable to, and resistant of, traditional forms of
legislation, depending upon the way in which the possibilities of the
Internet are exploited. Cyberstalking is analogous to traditional forms of
stalking, in that it incorporates persistent behaviours that instil
apprehension and fear. However, with the advent of new technologies,
traditional stalking has taken on entirely new forms through mediums such as
email and the Internet. Cyberstalking dramatically signals the potential of the
Internet to facilitate some types of crimes, as well as pointing to the
interventions available and likely to prove effective. To date, there is no
empirical research to determine the incidence of cyberstalking.

Arguments as to whether Internet-based technologies have created entirely new
types of crime requiring equally new legislative and other responses, or
provided new expressions of traditional crimes requiring the adaptation of
current legislative strategies, are hotly debated by the proponents of both
views.

http://www.apa.org/crsppp/petforen.pdf


The attached link is a document developed by the American Psycholgical
Association concerning a new Forensic Psychology Specialty.

I would welcome any comments.

I came across the attached article relating to proposed challenges to Miranda
warnings in the US, by former New York and Boston Police Commissioner, William
J Bratton. Although a little dated (April, 2000), the article certainly
addresses a very pertinent issue, with the proposed changes moves which I
personally would hold strong opposition to. In fact, if law enforcement
guidelines relating to the questioning and interrogation of suspects are to be
altered at all, I would rather see greater emphasis placed on protecting the
rights of the accused whilst in a custodial environment as offered by the PACE
guidelines rather than making it more possible for law enforcement officials to
once extract possibly tainted confessions from suggestible individuals.

I am unaware of what the outcome of the legal challenge was but I would be
interested to hear of any updates and thoughts on the issue.

Steven:

Thank you for sending the article by David Canter. It is most appreciated. I
am in the process of completing a third edition of my text Serial Murderers
and Their Victims and am looking for more sources from outside the US that
address profiling. I also want to highlight major cases of multiple homicide
from countries other than the US. Most importantly I want to be sure to cite
researchers and practitioners outside the US who are studying the area of
multiple homicide. If you have any suggestions of current research please do
not hesitate to contact me. Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards


Eric Hickey

May I take this opportunity to extend compliments of the season to
you all, and thankyou once more for joining in this mailing list. I
hope that in time you will find it a useful service, serving in both
the provision of forensic psychology related materials, as well as a
useful medium for communication and discussion.

I have been contemplating posting a list of members, though I am
mindful of each individuals' privacy. If you would prefer not to be
identified, and rather remain an anonymous member of this group
please email me on wrism001@.... Otherwise I may
provide a list in the near future.

Without giving too much away I can happily say that we now have over
35 members, mainly consisting of academics from Australia and
overseas. I principally intended this list to serve as a link between
prominent individuals from Australian and international universities
and academic institututions. This purpose seems to be in the process
of being fulfilled.

Thus far we have members from the following universities and
associations: the University of Melbourne, Griffith University, The
University of South Australia, University of New South Wales, Deakin
University, the Australian Institute of Criminology, the University
of Leicester, California State University Fresno, the University of
London, Northeastern University, University of Glasgow, Portsmouth
University, Carleton University, Queens University, University of
Liverpool, and the University of Alabama. If I have neglected to

One of the most difficult areas of criminal justice policy lies in providing
appropriate legal mechanisms to reflect the transition from the age of
childhood innocence through to maturity and full responsibility under the
criminal law. Along with specialised institutions such as Children's Courts and
juvenile detention centres, specific legal rules have been developed which
differentiate the position of children and young people within the general
criminal justice system. Considerable recent attention has been directed
towards rules governing the minimum age of criminal responsibility, and the
imposition of criminal responsibility above that age depending on a young
offender's appreciation of the wrongness of his or her act. This Trends and
Issues paper examines the operation of these rules, along with criticisms and
prospects for reform.

Stalking: Criminal Justice Responses
presented by the Australian Institute of Criminology

7 - 8 December, 2000
Landmark Parkroyal, Sydney



Introduction

The Australian Institute of Criminology is a unique national organisation, the
work of which aims to explore, describe and explain issues of public policy
significance. The AIC conducts in-house research and also brings together
researchers and practitioners to work co-operatively in building onto our
knowledge base.

This conference aims to investigate the relatively "new" crime of stalking.
Although stalking-type behaviours have been documented for a long time,
legislation specifically designed to protect individuals from stalking was only
introduced in Australia in the early to mid 1990s.

Given the relatively recent nature of the "crime", empirical studies of the
stalking phenomenon are relatively few. In order to address this lacuna, this
conference aims to cover the current empirical, social and legal attempts to
deal with a crime that incorporates such diverse realms as psychiatric
disorders, gender relations and cyber technology.

Adam Graycar
Director, Australian Institute of Criminology



Conference Themes

The conference will include the following major topics:

      Categories in Explaining Stalking
      Social Expressions of Stalking:
      Legislative and Criminal Justice Responses To Stalking
      Relationship Between Stalking and Domestic Violence
      Future Protection/Prevention

Who Should Attend

      Policy makers
      Health and welfare professionals
      Psychiatrists
      Psychologists
      Education professionals
      Federal, state and local government members and officers
      Police
      Academics
      Researchers
      Lawyers


The Conference Venue

The Landmark Parkroyal is located at 81 Macleay Street, Potts Point, on the
fringes of Sydney's CBD and only 13kms from
the international and domestic airport terminals.


Conference Papers

The conference program will consist of invited plenary speakers, invited papers
and workshops as well as selected papers from interested persons in concurrent
sessions.

I remember reading an article, which stated that there were no risk/need
assessment tools normed (suitable?) in Australian Aboriginal population.  I'll
try to find the reference.

Dear List members,

welcome once more.

I have placed everyone's mailing preferences on daily digest format to restrict
the amount of individual messages received. I hope that this may help you all.

With regard to your query Mitch, the following reference may be of use.

I am mindful of concerns about forwarding entire articles (ie. copyright)
however I feel that within this select mailing list the benefits to be gained
via the exchange of information are enormous. For those list members who feel
uncomfortable about this please feel free to voice your opinion and Ill be
happy to reconsider my stance.

Canada, Ottawa, ON, Canada)
Risk prediction and re-offending: Aboriginal and non-aboriginal
offenders. Canadian Journal of Criminology, 1997 Apr Vol 39(2) 127-144


Summary: Evaluated the predictive validity of the Manitoba Risk-Needs
Scale(MRNS) and assessed the prediction of recidivism for 390 aboriginal and
513 non-aboriginal probationers. The aboriginal sample was subdivided into 3
subgroups(metis, treaty-on, and treaty off) to evaluate the validity of the
instrument within aboriginal subgroups. Criminal history records were requested
from a fingerprint
service. It was found that the MRNS, originally developed on a sample of
non-aboriginal offenders, demonstrated predictive validity among aboriginal
offenders. Establishing the validity of the MRNS aboriginal offenders also
implies that the risk factors are similar for aboriginal and non-aboriginal
offenders. While some of the
individual items did not predict as consistently for the treaty group as for
the metis/non-status group, important factors such as criminal history,
substance abuse,and criminal peers demonstrated good predictive validity.
Findings support a social psychological perspective of criminal conduct that
views risk-needs factors as the same for groups regardless of culture and race.

Welcome fellow list members,

May I take this opportunity to welcome you all and thankyou for
joining the Forensic Network; a forensic psychology oriented mailing
list, established to provide an information network for academics,
students, clinicians, and other professionals.

I have contacted a range of high calibre professionals (including
yourselves) to join this list and the response has been encouraging.
Though please bear in mind that this list is in its infancy, and
might seem a little slow at times. I am hopeful that most APS Forensic
college members will join, with this service aimed at forming a link
between some of the leading University psych departments of the world
as well. So far we have members from The University of Melbourne,
Griffith University, The University of Portsmouth, the University of
South Australia, and the Australian Institute of Criminology.

I am still awaiting responses from other invited members including
Paul Wilson, Stephen Smallbone, Richard Bryant, Kevin McConkey, Bob
Montgomery, Don Thomson, Neil Brewer, Ellen Berah, Astrid Birgden,
Martine Powell and overseas academics Robert Hare, Bill Marshall,
James McGuire, Vernon Quinsey, Edward Zamble, Don Andrews, James
Bonta, Graham Towl, David Farrington, David Canter, Ronald Blackburn,
Gisli Gudjonnson, and Don Dutton.

It is anticipated that this mailing list will provide a medium via
which invited Australian and International members can exchange
information, and discuss latest research trends, findings, and other
forensic psychology related issues.

This list shall also notify members of conferences and professional
and social activities.

Members of this mailing list will also receive regular 'Table of
Contents' for popular forensic based publications included 'The
Journal of Interpersonal Violence' and 'Criminal Justice and
Behaviour'. These will be emailed directly to the mailing list.

Thankyou for your time, and please forward this email to anyone that
you think may be interested in joining. Alternatively, if you know of
anyone that you think may be interested in joining you can send me
their email details and I will send them a personal invitation.

To subscribe to the ForensicNetwork interested individuals should
email myself on wrism001@...

Please send any suggestions or comments that you have directly to the
list.

Kind regards,

Steven M Wright
Humble Psychology student (University of South Australia)
List Moderator
Email: wrism001@...

Please find attached an advertisement for the project manager's position
for the Pathways Project which is currently being developed in Brisbane,
Queensland.

Please could you pass this on to any colleagues who may be interested.


Kind regards,
