Focusing on the Australian experience, these papers examine the relationship between crime and economic development, the criminal justice system, criminal victimization, juvenile delinquency, and implementation of human rights and prison standards. |
| Abstract:
|
The first paper examines relationships between social, economic, and cultural factors and crime patterns in 12 countries and in Australia during the 20th century. Results suggest a relationship between economic development and property crime rates. Next, the Australian law enforcement, court, and correctional systems are examined, with focus on the growing trend toward coordination of services among the seven jurisdictions. An overview of victimization discusses its extent, outlines vulnerable groups, and recommends improvements in existing victim services. Juvenile delinquency trends and factors then are examined, and delinquency prevention programs are discussed. Finally, two articles discuss the implementation of mechanisms for guaranteeing human rights and United Nations standards for the humane treatment of prisoners. Also included are tabular data and references. (For individual topics, see NCJ 100064-068). |
