The forum was held at Parliament House as part of Law Week celebrations. The forum was opened by the Minister for Juvenile Justice, the Hon. Carmel Tebbutt and was chaired by TV personality Noni Hazelhurst. The forum was informed by research that suggests that the likelihood of an individual becoming involved in criminal activity and/or substance abuse is influenced by the existence of risk and protective factors in their family, school and community environments. Guest speakers included Dr Marie Leech (National Manager, Research and Social Policy, Mission Australia) who presented the paper
Crime And Violence In Rural Communities crime, fear of crime and crime prevention An analysis among the rural elderly.Report submitted to the Andrus Foundation, American Association of Retired http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/envrnmnt/drugfree/v1donner.htm
Extractions: Columbus, Ohio One of the least understood topics in the fields of criminology and criminal justice today is that of rural crime. The reasons are simple. First, research on rural crime remains sparse. Scholars and researchers have spent most of their efforts trying to understand urban patterns of crime. Second, popularized images of rural and urban areas include stereotypes that contain elements of the truth, yet represent gross exaggerations of reality. The image of rural America today still suggests that small towns, farming communities, and the open country are "crime free." This perception is not accurate; yet, relative to the problems of some large urban communities, rural areas do look like havens of safety. The problem in assessing rural crime is that different people look at the same facts and reach very different conclusions. According to a variety of national and state-level databases reviewed here, crime levels in rural areas in every region of the country are almost always well below the crime rates of cities. However, looking at rural crime rates over time offers a different view - suggesting that while rural areas today have less crime than their urban counterparts, they also have more crime than they did in the past, and their crime problems are serious.

Extractions: Top of Page KCBA Drug Policy Project The King County Bar Association is leading a high-level partnership of lawyers, doctors, pharmacists and other professionals in Washington to find more effective ways to reduce the harm and costs of drug abuse, and of the War on Drugs itself. What began over four years ago as a transitory study of current drug laws has evolved into a comprehensive, long-term effort to bring about meaningful reform of drug policy on many levels. The principal objectives of this effort are: reductions in crime and public disorder improvement of the public health better protection of children ; and wiser use of scarce public resources Through its Drug Policy Project, the King County Bar Association has been examining a public health approach to drug abuse, promoting: increases in the scope and effectiveness of drug addiction treatment programs, including expanded access to treatment, improved case management systems and the broadening of treatment opportunities to include mental health care, work-readiness and vocational training, literacy training, housing and the fostering of peer and family supports; reforms and improvements to drug abuse prevention and drug education programs that ensure the implementation of evidence-based methods, stressing youth development in general and the maintenance of healthy behaviors and healthy relationships rather than a fear-based approach to drug use that too often relies on misinformation or partial information;
Extractions: Recent Reports Support HRW About HRW Site Map V. THE IMPACT OF THE WAR ON DRUGS ON U.S. INCARCERATION The single greatest force behind the growth of the U.S. prison system since the mid-1980s has been the national "war on drugs." Spearheaded by major federal drug policy initiatives that significantly increased penalties for drug offenses and markedly increased federal funds for state anti-drug efforts, federal and state measures to combat drugs have concentrated on criminal law enforcement rather than prevention and treatment. An estimated 400,000 people almost one-quarter of the total incarcerated population in the U.S. are confined in local jails and state and federal prisons on drug charges. Citing the extraordinary number of drug offenders in U.S. prisons, General Barry McCaffrey, has decried the creation of what he termed a "drug gulag." Policies adopted to battle the use and sale of drugs have led to marked increases in arrest rates, in the likelihood of going to prison, and in the length of sentences for drug offenders. Between 1980 and 1997, the number of annual drug arrests tripled to a high of 1,584,000. The rate of drug arrests per 100,000 residents rose from 288 to 661.

This is a highly research-oriented web page, arising out of a collaborative long-term study of children of substance-abusing fathers, psychiatrically disturbed fathers, and normal fathers. The plan is to follow children from ages 10-12 to age 30, with eight separate intensive biobehavioral and social contextual assessments. As of July 1998, the age 19 assessment is underway, and 705 families are participating in the project. Findings from the project are available on the web page. Because training and education are also a goal of the project, the page also provides (un-annotated) links to assessment, prevention (18 links), treatment, health data, and consumer information sites.

Bibliography The Special Nature of an Extreme Expression of Prejudice Hate crimesviolent acts against people, property, or organizations because of the group to which they belong or identify withare a tragic part of American history. However, it wasn't until early in this decade that the federal government began to collect data on how many and what kind of hate crimes are being committed, and by whom. Thus, the statistical history on hate crimes is meager. Psychological studies are also fairly new. Nevertheless, scientific research is beginning to yield some good perspectives on the general nature of crimes committed because of real or perceived differences in race, religion, ethnicity or national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or gender. According to the FBI, about 30% of hate crimes in 1996, the most recent year for which figures are available, were crimes against property. They involved robbing, vandalizing, destroying, stealing, or setting fire to vehicles, homes, stores, or places of worship.
