FROM CRIMSA PRESIDENT
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the new CRIMSA Newsletter Editor, Ms Nicola van der Merwe, of Monash University (SA) on board and wish her luck in her endeavours in getting news out to all members. But in order to have an interesting and up-to-date Newsletter full of news we need all members to give her full support and co-operation by sending in news from their institutions and organisations –
conference, workshop, seminar reports, masters and doctoral graduates (a short summary of the research completed for which the specific degree has been awarded); attendance at international conferences and papers delivered, new research projects, book publications etc., etc… On another note, three Council members, Ms Laetitia Campher, Mrs Harriet Klopper and Dr Joep Toebosch, have resigned for various personal and work reasons. (They will remain members of CRIMSA and assure me they will continue to be active in the affairs of the Society where able and time willing). I would like to take this opportunity to thank all three for their dedicated and hard work done over many years in the service of the Society‘s aims and functions. At the EXCO meeting held on 12 May 2010 a decision was made not to call for nominations from members but instead to co-opt three members to fill these Council positions for the remainder of the term of office.
FROM THE EDITOR
2010 – The year many South Africans have anxiously been waiting for. With the FIFA Soccer World Cup on our doorstep, we expect great things. The first 2010 edition of the CRIMSA Newsletter should thus be in a similar fashion. As such, individual- and institutional CRIMSA members have been encouraged to provide significant and interesting contributions for the newsletter, in order to add value to this
circulation. This edition is packed with news on current research projects, new websites and online journals, new publications, television appearances, MA degrees awarded and successful Doctoral exchange programmes. A new section in this newsletter titled ‗News briefs‖ will provide readers with reports on interesting and unique contributions to the newsletter. I would like to thank members and institutions for their contributions. To make a success of our newsletter I appeal to all of you in the broad criminological sciences fields to provide continuous input and that all members make use of this opportunity to send in any newsworthy items in their Departments and/or organisations. Media related contributions will be particularly appreciated as we grow our field of study together.
As I said, 2010 is a year of great things to come and this is just one way to share this greatness. CRIMSA members are reminded that for a variety of reasons your CRIMSA EXCO
made a decision not to continue making hardcopy of the newsletter. Accordingly the CRIMSA Newsletter will only be emailed to members.
Editor: Nicola van der Merwe

NEWS BRIEFS
RUHR UNIVERSITY, BOCHUM AND CENTRE OF CRIMINOLOGY PHD SEMINAR EXCHANGE 2009-2010 ON POLICE METHODOLOGY, THEORY AND PRACTICE In January 2010, a group of five doctoral students plus supervisors, from Bochum University, Essen University and the Police-University of Muenster in Germany and three participants from Ghent University in Belgium, visited the Centre of Criminology, University of Cape Town from the 23rd January to the 4th of February 2010. The purpose of this programme was to participate in a seminar exchange on police methodology, theory and practice. This was part of the Ruhr University, Bochum and University of Cape Town PhD seminar exchange. During 2009, as part of the seminar exchange, a group of five doctoral candidates from the Centre of Criminology visited Germany from 22 August until 5 September 2009. Professor Elrena van der Spuy from the University of Cape Town and Professor Monique Marks from the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal led the group to Germany. Presentations were made by international policing scholars on police research and methodologies and there were also various outings to police and police-related institutions. The PhD students were able to share and exchange ideas on their research. The seminar exchange was coordinated by Professor Thomas Feltes of the Ruhr University with financial support from the German Academic Exchange
Service (DAAD) in cooperation with German Police University, Muenster University. During the exchange in Cape Town in January 2010, led by Professors Elrena van der Spuy and Monique Marks, the activities included cultural visits, presentations of PhD topics by the students, a session on ―How to
write a PhD‖ by Clifford Shearing of the Centre of Criminology and Pat O‘Malley from the Sydney Law School. Prof David Bayley of University of Albany, State University of New York spoke on 40 years of policing research. Irvin Kinnes gave a talk on gangs and arranged a visit to the Manenberg People‘s Centre. The Police Training College in Paarl was also visited. The students all attended the Workshop series. Criminology at the Edge: Debates and directions in criminological methodology held on the 29th January and the Politics, Theory and Methods of Policing Research: Innovations and Trends held at Monkey
Valley Conference centre on the 30th and 31st January. The Seminar exchange allowed for discussions and joint reflections on police research and qualitative methods in Germany and South Africa allowing for a cross-cultural perspective to be obtained by all who attended.
DR MOSES MONTESH FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA VISITS SABC 1 On 2 March 2010, Dr Montesh was on SABC 1 ASIKHULUME television program. The issue discussed was the new police ranks vs service delivery. Dr Montesh was asked to comment whether militarization will bring service delivery or not, upon which he answered ‗no‘. Dr Montesh stated ―There is no scientific evidence connecting police force and service delivery‖.
DR ROBERT PEACOCK FROM MONASH UNIVERSITY MAKES WEEKLY CONTRIBUTIONS TO SABC 3 CRIME SERIES ‘SOLVING IT’ Dr Peacock from Monash University will be on the SABC 3 crime series titled ‗Solving It‘ for the next coming months. Solving It is a factual television series. Viewers are presented with real crime incidents in South Africa. The purpose of the series is to find answers to what happened in these incidents, as well as what led to those involved to become
4
either the criminal or the victim in the crime. Dr Peacock makes contributions regarding the Criminological aspects and analyses of these crimes, the offenders and the victims. Ms Nicola van der Merwe (Monash) assisted with the research for the television series.
CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOP REPORTS
POLICING CONFERENCE ORGANISED BY THE CENTRE OF CRIMINOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN. POLITICS, THEORY AND METHODS OF POLICING RESEARCH:
INNOVATIONS AND TRENDS A policing research conference took place at the Monkey Valley Conference Centre, from Saturday 30th to Sunday 31st January 2010. The conference was organized by the Centre of Criminology (UCT), in collaboration with Anthony Minnaar (UNISA), Monique Marks (UKZN), David Bruce (CSVR ) and Sean Tait (APCOF). The conference was sponsored by the National Research Foundation of South Africa Knowledge Fields Development Grant Directorate. Clifford Shearing and Elrena van der Spuy of the Centre convened the Conference. Key international speakers included Prof. David Bayley,(University of Albany, New York) Prof. Alice Hills,(Leeds University, UK) Prof. Pat O‘Malley(Sydney Law School) and Jonny Steinberg researcher and author from South Africa. Policing specialists from Nigeria, Cameroon, DRC and South Africa were respondents. The conference aimed to celebrate the contribution of various scholars to
the field; consider contemporary challenges for African policing studies at the level of theory, policy and research; build linkages between international, regional and South African individuals and institutions involved in policing, and identify priorities for future research.
The workshop was attended by just over 50 delegates. About a third of the delegates were academics from criminology and criminal justice departments located at various universities in South Africa as well as a few colleagues from elsewhere in Africa (Nigeria and the DRC) and Europe (Germany, Belgium, Spain and America). In addition, South African researchers and experts attached to research-based policy institutions were invited (ISS; CSVR; CSIR (South Africa) and CLEEN (Nigeria). Finally, a third of the delegates comprised of doctoral students, representing a new
generation of ‗emerging‘ researchers, affiliated to the University of Cape Town and German and Belgian tertiary institutions. David Bayley opened the conference on day one with his most recent publication (cowritten with Robert Perito) titled The Police in War: Fighting Insurgency, Terrorism and Violent Crime. Bayley situated the conversation on the challenges of the police in the context of war and insurgency with Iraq and Afghanistan as illustrative case studies. The presentation discussed the unique role of police in controlling violence across its diverse forms, the division of labour between police and other security agencies, and the appropriate training for police to maximize their comparative advantage. In the afternoon session Jonny Steinberg spoke on ―Old Habits, New Consequences: Policing, Security and National Identity After Apartheid‖. Policing policies adopted in the mid 1990s were premised on a misconception of the nature of South African cities, and, in particular, of the manner in which city residents seek order and security. Responding to the real city rather than the one imagined in policy documents, the police increasingly began to deploy methods of engagement that once flourished under apartheid. The future of security in South African cities lies in the
5
unfolding relationship between this authoritarian policing and non-state security providers. Pat O'Malley delivered the cocktail address on ―Simulated government: Policing Telematic Societies‖. OMalley‘s paper examines some of the implications for policing that illustrate ways in which simulated governance is moving beyond the reach of rights as liberal individuals are fragmented into simulated 'dividuals' and commodified licenses rather than rights become critical. On day two, Alice Hills explored ―Critical issues for police studies in
Africa‖. Alice spoke to some critical issues for police studies in Africa. She did so through the lens of cultural transmission through which western templates for police reform are imported into Africa. In this presentation she explored the processes involved in cultural transition and the mechanisms through which ideas, norms, and strategies were being transferred. Such processes remain ill understood and under-researched. A critical challenge for African policing studies is to examine the finer details, the negotiations and compromises, whereby ideas and working knowledge(s) are transmitted. Using the transmission of community policing models in Nigeria as a case study, Hills illustrated how a shared technical vocabulary at the level of policy and rhetoric may simply obfuscate divergent practices on the ground. The conference ended with the theme of the Future agenda for Policing Research? German, Belgian and South African doctoral students provided their Critical Reflections on the Conference and the significance of the conference was summed up by Anthony Minnaar (UNISA). You can listen to podcasts from the conference on the Centre of Criminology website at http://www.criminology.uct.ac.za
UNISA SEMINAR: APPROACHES TO POLICING TERRORISM AND VIOLENT CRIME MORE EFFECTIVELY Making full use of Prof David Bayley‘s trip to South Africa for the Policing Conference organised by the Centre of Criminology at the University Of Cape Town, The UNISA Departments of Criminology & Security Science and Police Practice organised a one-day seminar on the Muckleneuk Campus, Pretoria on 11 February 2010 on the topic: ―Approaches to policing terrorism and violent crime more effectively‖
Prof Bayley made two presentations,
namely: Some thoughts on a general strategy for the aligning of specialist counter-terrorism policing with ‘core’ (general-duties) police; and (ii): How to minimize the inappropriate use of deadly (lethal) force and violence by police officers: Examples from the UK & USA.
Sandwiched in between these two presentations was one by Prof Anthony Minnaar, of UNISA‘s Dept of Criminology & Security Science on: Use of lethal force and s49 in South Africa: Complex legal problem or a straightforward policing solution? During question time both presenters elicited a number of questions after which a lively debate ensued.
SECOND POSTGRADUATE COURSE IN VICTIMOLOGY, VICTIM ASSISTANCE AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE Monash South Africa, in association with the World Society of Victimology, recently presented the Second African Postgraduate course of Victimology, Victim Assistance and Criminal Justice on campus, from 18 – 30 January
2010. According to organiser Dr Robert Peacock, Head of the Criminology Department in the School of Arts at Monash South Africa, ―Crime and victimisation in South Africa have severe consequences for the sustained development of our society, economy and the region as a whole.‖

This world-class event attracted twenty research leaders from across the globe and students from Monash as well as other South African, African and European Universities. Dr Peacock said that the course served as an avenue for research collaboration on the African continent and provided an international education opportunity in victimology and criminal justice unparalleled in higher education institutions in South Africa, as well as elsewhere. In organising the event, Dr Peacock was assisted by Dr Jaco Barkhuizen and Ms Nicola van der Merwe from Monash South Africa, Prof Gerd
Kirchhoff from the International Victimology Institute in Japan, Prof Elmar Weitekamp from the University of Tuebingen in Germany, Prof Rianne Letschert from Intervict in the Netherlands, Prof Dick Andzenge from the USA, Prof Armando Saponaro from Italy and Prof Marianne Hilf from Switzerland. Dr Peacock said that this course demonstrated Monash South Africa‘s commitment to victim empowerment, social justice, and international cross-cultural communication. Dr Robert Peacock is an Executive Member of the World Society of Victimology (WSV) and Chair of the Regional Development Committee (South and Central America, North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania, Africa and the Middle East). Dr Jaco Barkhuizen serves on the Website Committee of the WSV.
WORKSHOP SERIES – CRIMINOLOGY AT THE EDGE: DEBATES AND DIRECTIONS IN CRIMINOLOGICAL METHODOLOGY Clifford Shearing from the Centre of Criminology (UCT) and Monique Marks (UKZN) convened a methodology workshop that focused on ethnographic research, comparative and innovative research methods. The workshop was sponsored by the National Research Foundation of South Africa Knowledge Fields Development Grant Directorate.
On Friday the 29th of January the first of three workshops was held at Monkey Valley Conference Centre in Noordhoek. The workshop was attended by 30 criminologists. Participants were from South African university Criminology Programmes as well as a number of criminologists conducting research in non-governmental organizations. The theme of the first interactive workshop was ‗Research methodology for criminologists‘. The workshop was divided into three sessions. Session one was led by Prof David Bayley from the United States. Prof Bayley ran a two
hour interactive session on ‗methods for police studies‘. He spoke about the importance of ethnographic and comparative research. Session two was led by Prof. Monique Marks from South Africa (UKZN). She ran a one and a half hour session on ‗participatory action research with police‘. The third session was led by Prof. Pat O‘Malley from Australia (Sydney University). The theme of his session was ‗Governmentality as a methodology for socio-legal analyses‘. The discussion during all sessions was very robust, creating space for participants to talk about their own approach to doing research as well as alternative methods/methodologies for answering research questions. This workshop also provided an opportunity for criminologists from across the country to meet up and to learn about each other‘s work and some spoke of joined-up research projects.

THE NATIONAL AFRICAN-AMERICAN DRUG POLICY COALITION (NAADPC) SIXTH NATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN DRUG POLICY SUMMIT The National African-American Drug Policy Coalition (NAADPC) convened its Sixth National African American Drug Policy Summit, titled ―Advancing Policy, Medical & Public Health Solutions for Drug Addiction, Dependency, and Supportive Services: Improving Quality of Life, Public Safety, and Alternatives to Criminal Sanctions‖, March 24-26, 2010. The summit attracted attendees from 113 organizations with representation from 16 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Comprised of six plenary sessions and nine workshops, the program brought together experts in various aspects of drug policy for this three-day summit. The program discussed discrimination and disparity in access to health care; identified reforms needed in criminal justice, sentencing policies, mental health issues; and described the need for reform of criminal law and sentencing policies that could promote primary approaches of public health, as well as addressed medical solutions to the problems of addiction as a disease and not just as a criminal problem. This summit was created by the NAADPC to address the development and implementation of drug policy programs that negatively and disproportionately affect African Americans and other disparate populations in the United States. The NAADPC website is available at http://www.naadpc.org/. The website can be visited for further information or for future updates.
17th ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL POLICE EXECUTIVES SYMPOSIUM (IPES) CONFERENCE, VALLETTA, MALTA. 14-19 MARCH 2010 The International Police Executive Symposium (IPES), founded in 1994, brings police researchers and practitioners together to facilitate cross-cultural, international and interdisciplinary exchanges for the enrichment of the policing profession. It encourages discussions and writing on challenging topics of contemporary importance through an array of initiatives including conferences and publications. IPES‘ major annual
initiative is a four-day meeting on specific issues relevant to the policing profession. Past meeting themes have covered a broad range of topics from police education to corruption. Meetings are organized by the IPES in conjunction with sponsoring organizations in a host country. To date, meetings have been held throughout North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia. The IPES‘ annual meetings bring together ministers of interior and justice, police commissioners and chiefs, members of the academia representing world-renowned institutions and many more of the Criminal Justice elite from over 60 countries throughout the world. The immediate past meeting was hosted by The Ministry of Interior for the Republic of Macedonia in Ohrid, Macedonia. These meetings have facilitated interaction, and the exchange of ideas and opinions on all aspects of policing. The agenda is structured to encourage dialogue in both formal and informal settings. The 2010 meeting was no exception to this and in March 2010 the annual IPES meeting was held in Valetta, Malta and hosted by Commissioner John Rizzo, Malta Police with the theme: Tourism, Strategic Locations & Major Events: Policing in an Age of Mobility, Mass Movement and Migration.

This workshop will focus on ‗Theories informing the field of Criminology‘. The key speaker at this workshop will be Prof. Paul Rock from the London School of Economics.
INTERNATIONAL SERIOUS AND ORGANISED CRIME CONFERENCE, 18-19 October 2010 This conference will be held at the Melbourne Convention Centre, 1 Convention Centre Place, South Wharf, Melbourne VIC 3006. The Australian Institute of Criminology, in partnership with Victoria Police, the Australian Crime Commission, the Australian Federal Police and CrimTrac will host a groundbreaking international conference focused on the fight against serious and organised crime. Organised crime places a significant burden on international economies and communities each year in terms of lost revenue and costs to criminal justice, social, health and welfare systems.
13
Recent estimates suggest the total annual cost of organised crime in Australia is between $10 and $15 billion. The first International Serious and Organised Crime Conference (ISOC 2010) will bring law enforcement, criminal justice, policy and research practitioners from around the world together at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Monday and Tuesday, 18-19 October 2010, to share best practice and knowledge in the fight against transnational organised crime. ISOC 2010 will explore the range of international issues involved in
organised crime today; analyse emerging challenges for law enforcement agencies in responding to international and transnational forms of organised crime; share best-practice intelligence, collaboration and partnership for the prevention and reduction of organised crime, and examine the economics of organised crime markets.

CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS
FOOTBALL TRAFFICKING – THE NEW AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE This is a UNISA 2010 Project. Dr Moses Montesh is involved with this research project. The project seeks to unravel trafficking of underage football players which is illegal in terms of FIFA & ILO Statutes. Stories of trafficking in underage footballers are very common and some of Europe's largest cities are littered with young African men who spend their lives dodging the police because their visas were either fake in the first place or they have expired. Many of the trafficked players have to
devote their time looking for a safe place to stay every night.
LOSPERFONTEIN ANTI-CRIME AWARENESS PROJECT (LACAP) Dr Karen Booyens from the Department of Social Work and Criminology at the University of Pretoria traveled during February 2010 to the Losperfontein Correctional Centre near Brits and met
15
a group of maximum offenders who established the Losperfontein Anti-Crime Awareness Project (LACAP), a registered non-profit organisation. LACAP composes of ten (10) offenders, four (4) officials from the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) and five (5) members of the community. The main concern of the organisation is to raise awareness amongst youth regarding the consequences of committing crime. Learners from schools in the Brits area are invited to the correctional centre and members of LACAP inform them about the choices they made and how they ended up in
corrections. This organisation is also active within the correctional centre where they address issues of gangsterism (there are two ex-members of the 26‘s and 28‘s gangs in LACAP), male rape in corrections as well as drugs and alcohol abuse. The main objectives of LACAP are as follows:
Promote the participation of offenders in restorative justice. Many of the LACAP members expressed a desire to apologise to their victims.
Initiate, promote or oppose behaviour which in its opinion may affect the image of a rehabilitated offender.
Collaborate with the DCS and other structures (such as tertiary institutions) to work towards the rehabilitation of offenders.
To alleviate poverty in the Losperfontein area (LACAP ―adopted‖ the Losperfontein Primary School and arrange events annually in order to donate school uniforms, food parcels and stationary to the learners).
Assist offenders with social reintegration into the community.
On 28 April 2010 LACAP will host another event with the theme ‗2010 is in your hands’ where 400 learners will visit the correctional centre and engage with the medium and maximum
offenders of the centre. The criminology honours students from the Department of Social Work and Criminology, University of Pretoria will participate in the event by donating tin food and stationary to the learners.
FEAR OF CRIME AMONG SOUTH AFRICAN EMIGRANTS IN PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA The Department of Criminal Justice at the University of Zululand is currently involved in empirical research revolving around Fear of crime among South African emigrants in Perth, Western Australia. The research is conducted with Professor P.J. Potgieter from the Department of Criminal Justice at the University of Zululand, as principal researcher. Professor J.M. Ras (Department of Criminal Justice, University of Zululand) and Dr. L.J. Michell of the Deptartment of Philosophy (University of Zululand) are co-researchers in the research project.
ATM BOMBINGS & FOOTBALL HOOLIGANS This project seeks to unravel the scourge of ATM Bombings in Gauteng as well as looking at strategies undertaken by the SAPS to fight the scourge. Blowing up cash dispensers is becoming a favourite tactic of South African bank robbers, and the country's embattled police as well as its banks are struggling to find a way to prevent it. Banks report a dramatic rise in this type of crime over the past three years. Yet the surge has industry executives puzzled, since the robbers only rarely succeed in stealing any money. With the number of reported attacks on automatic teller machines (ATMs)
continuing to rise, banks are trying to think of more efficient ways to combat the crime. This research project is undertaken by Dr Moses Montesh from UNISA.

AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF CRIMINOLOGY (AIC) The AIC has released the following publications: Spectator violence part 1: Professional sporting events. Research in Practice no. 12. Abstract: This is the first of a two part
series on spectator violence at sporting events. Part one covers spectator violence at professional sporting events. The second will focus on issues of violence at amateur sporting events, particularly parents as spectators and the behaviours they exhibit. Spectator violence refers to any violent activity that occurs among those attending a sporting event. It can be directed at players, officials or fellow spectators. Types of spectator violence include verbal abuse, the throwing of missiles (such as bottles), property destruction and physical assaults. Throughout Europe and the United States, spectator violence is a well-publicised and researched issue and it is becoming an increasing concern in Australia for local communities, sports clubs and police.
Bartels, L. 2010. Emerging issues in domestic/family violence research. Research in Practice no. 10.
Abstract: This paper presents an overview of the key emerging issues in Australian domestic and family violence research. In particular, the paper considers this research in the context of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex communities; the elderly; those with
disabilities; people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds; Indigenous communities; homelessness; the impact on children; and issues around perpetrator programs.
Wundersitz, J. 2010. Indigenous perpetrators of violence: Prevalence and risk factors for offending.
17
Research and public policy series no. 105.
Abstract: Available data indicate that Indigenous people are 15 to 20 times more likely than non-Indigenous people to commit violent offences. This report presents results of research into victimisation of, and offending by, Indigenous people. The findings are designed to inform and complement the work of the National Indigenous Violence and Child Abuse Intelligence Task Force. This report draws attention to the need to investigate the specifics of different forms of violent offending, the
relationship between victims and offenders and the location and nature of different community settings.
Meyer, S. 2010. Responding to intimate partner violence victimisation: Effective options for help-seeking. Trends & issues in crime and criminal justice no. 389.
Abstract: Approximately one in four women in most Western nations are at risk of becoming a victim of intimate partner violence (IPV). Interventions for IPV victims have shown to be significant in preventing negative outcomes. Using data from the International Violence Against Women Survey, this paper examines predictors of help-seeking by IPV victims and considers whether such responses are influenced by the severity of abuse experienced. Many IPV victims seek assistance informally from family and friends in the first instance and that experience may affect subsequent attempts to seek help from more formal sources. This study found that victims of IPV are more likely to explore formal avenues of support when married to the abusive partner, have children who have witnessed incidents of abuse, have used drugs or alcohol to cope with abuse and where the abusive partner has previously received counselling for his
behaviour. It was found that in cases where the victim had experienced more severe types of abuse, and/or if they felt their life had been threatened during the most recent incident, there was a significantly increased likelihood of formal help-seeking. Collectively, these findings can inform the enhancement of current responses made by formal sources of support to better accommodate the needs of IPV victims and their children.

McGuire, M. 2010. Technology, Crime and Justice. Willan Publishing.
Abstract: world in ever more comprehensive ways there are increasing questions about how the ‗rights‘ and ‗wrongs‘ of technological use can be adequately categorised. To date, the scope of such questions have been limited - focused upon specific technologies such as the internet, or biotechnology with little sense of any social or historical continuities in the way technology in general has been regulated. In this book, for the first time, the ‗question of technology‘ and its relation to criminal justice is approached as a whole.

the main stages and elements in the criminal justice process.
Sharpe, G. 2010. Offending Girls. Willan Publishing.
Abstract: Girls‘ bad behaviour has attracted seemingly relentless poplar attention in recent years, with girls‘ violence and girl gangs commonly constructed as urgent and growing
19
social problems. At the same time, the number of young women entering the youth justice system, including youth custody, has increased dramatically. This book is based on detailed qualitative research in two Youth Offending Teams and a Secure Training Centre – the first study of its kind since the 'modernization' of the youth justice system over a decade ago. It explores young women‘s accounts of their pathways into crime and the impact of youth justice intervention on their everyday lives.
Westmarland, L. 2010. Researching Crime and Justice. Willan Publishing.
Abstract: research and research methods in crime and justice and related areas, including police, prisons and criminal justice policy making. It is less of a dry ‗how to‘ book, but is concerned rather to provide a wideranging source book that illustrates the kind of research that has been done in particular areas, the findings of previous studies and the range of possible research methods and approaches—both qualitative and quantitative. It highlights clearly the social problems and opportunities presented by studies in criminology and criminal justice. The book also reflects on the philosophies of research and includes discussions about the way the choice of methods will be reflected in the findings and vice versa (which seems obvious but is often forgotten). This book will be essential reading for criminology students and other researchers on crime and justice.

‘HOT OFF THE PRESS’
Behind the Badge: On the 12 May 2010 The Institute for Security Studies, Zebra Press and the Hans Seidel Foundation held the book launch for the publication: Behind the Badge: the untold stories of South Africa's police service members authored by Andrew Faull. Every South African has a strong opinion on crime and policing, but most know very little about the lives and experiences of the average cop in the 185 000-strong South African Police Service. This book is composed of excerpts from interviews with current
20
and former cops who, for the first time, share their personal experiences of life behind the badge. The book covers a wide range of themes. Including policing under apartheid, transformation after 1994, solving cases, using lethal force, ethics and the psychological toll of police work. There is a mantra among police: What happens on the shift stays on the shift'. In Behind the Badge, members break through this wall of silence and reveal the hidden life of the police.
House robberies: On 19 May 2010 the Institute for Security Studies in collaboration with
Tafelberg Press hosted the launch of a new book on house robberies titled: Home invasion: Ground-breaking research on house robberies in South Africa, authored by Prof Rudolph Zinn of the UNISA Dept of Police Practice. This book is based on his doctoral studies titled: Incarcerated perpetrators of house robbery as a source of crime intelligence. (Promoter: C.W. Marais. Co-promoter: A.deV. Minnaar). (DLitt et Phil: Police Science, UNISA. 2008).
In his launch presentation Prof Zinn mentioned a number of crucial findings, namely that convicted criminals provide an invaluable source of intelligence on trends and modus operandi on specific crimes and that police should be exploiting this information to combat crime. He further mentioned that as a matter of course the police should debrief convicted criminals in order to obtain crime intelligence they could use in combating crime more effectively. In fact it was emphasised that South Africa needs to adopt an intelligence-led
style of policing. Moreover, the information he obtained in his research is not only useful for the police, but to the general public as well. In addition, it was found that because of criminal justice system failures, criminals became repeat offenders and if we do not stop the criminals in the early
stages they go on to become violent criminals.
It was further found that the robber's primary motivation was financial gain. Almost all of the respondents carried a firearm, while all of them used violence as a means of intimidation while perpetrating a house robbery. Prof. Zinn also found that the robbers would not hesitate to use lethal force at even the slightest hint of resistance (from victims) while also used torture, which was used to force the victims to point out the location of valuables in the residence, with a focus on torturing women and children since male victims
tended to withstand the torture, but when they (the robbers) threatened women and children, the men opened became more compliant to demands and did not offer any resistance. More than half of the robberies occurred between 7pm and midnight. This period was when victims were at home, the alarms were switched off and the noise in the home served as a cover for the break-in. A further worrisome finding being that two-thirds of the robbers (interviewed) said they used information obtained from inside the home (informants who varied from gardeners, domestics to builder personnel temporarily on premises) and they also chose areas where there was low or inadequate security.
The interviewed robbers claimed the best deterrents inside the home were guard dogs, followed by a perimeter security fence, i.e. a security measure away from the actual house, coupled to early warning. In other words the further away from the house the alarm system is able to be triggered, the more effective it is. Prof Zinn did add a caveat to this namely that ―there is no single security system that is effective, but rather layers of systems that serve as deterrents." While there were such suitable security measures that serve as deterrents Zinn said the best defence was in fact to join a community policing forum/community safety initiative (like
21
a neighbourhood watch and participate in area patrols) to keep the criminals out of communities and homes.
A murder trial: On 25 May 2010 Jonathan Ball Publishers & Love Books launched Antony Altbeker‘s book: Fruit of a poisoned tree: A true story of murder and the miscarriage of justice. This book deals with the Altbeker‘s eye-witness account of of the courtroom battle during the trial of Fred van der Vyver for the murder of Inge Lotz – It is one of the most sensational and controversial murder trials in South African legal history.

CALL FOR JOURNAL ARTICLES
JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY CRIMINAL JUSTICE Special Issue: Between Black and White: Theorizing Racial Democracy, Crime and Justice (August 2011 issue). The Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice invites submissions for a special issue, Between Black and White: Theorizing Racial Democracy, Crime and Justice, edited by María Vélez, Rod Brunson and Jody Miller. We seek manuscripts on a variety of topics within this broad area, with the goal of showcasing theoretically grounded research that investigates the connections between race, crime and justice that go beyond the black/white divide typical of research in criminology and criminal justice.

POLICE PRACTICE AND RESEARCH: AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL Manuscripts are solicited for Police Practice and Research: An International Journal, which is published in five issues per volume. The journal presents current and innovative police research, as well as operational and administrative practices from around the world. Articles and reports are sought from practitioners, researchers, and others interested in developments in policing, analysis of public order, and the state of safety as it affects the quality of life everywhere. The journal seeks to bridge the gap in knowledge that exists regarding who the police are, what they do, how they maintain order, administer laws, and serve their communities. Attention is also focused on specific organizational information about the police in different countries and regions, and periodic special issues are devoted to studying police policies and practices regarding a particular topic or issue. The editors aim to improve cooperation between those who are active in the field and those who are involved in academic research, as such a relationship is essential for innovative police work. To this end, the editors
encourage the submission of articles co-authored by police practitioners and researchers that highlight a particular subject from both points of view. Submission of Manuscripts: Manuscripts should be electronically submitted to: Associate Managing Editor Anthony L. Sciarabba ([email protected]).
Manuscripts should normally be no more than 25 typed pages (Word, Times New Roman, 12 Font, Double-Spaced) in English. The manuscript should be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 100 words, up to six key words, and a brief biographical sketch.

CRITICAL CRIMINOLOGY: AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL Critical Criminology is the official journal of the Division of Critical Criminology of the American Society of Criminology. The journal deals with questions of social, political and economic justice. Critical Criminology is for academics and researchers with an interest in anarchistic, cultural, feminist, integrative, Marxist, peace-making, postmodernist and left-realist criminology. The journal does not limit the scope of the inquiry to state definitions of crime and welcomes work focusing on issues of social harm and social justice, including those exploring the intersecting lines of class, gender, race/ethnicity and heterosexism. The journal is of interest for all persons with an interest in alternative methodologies and theories in criminology, including chaos theory, non-linear analysis, and complex systems science as it pertains to the study of crime and criminal justice. The journal encourages works that focus on creative and cooperative solutions to justice problems, plus strategies for the construction of a more inclusive society.

CRITICAL ISSUES IN JUSTICE AND POLITICS The Department of Political Science and Criminal Justice at Southern Utah University launched a new academic journal last year. The journal, Critical Issues in Justice and Politics (ISSN 1940-3186), is a refereed (peer-reviewed) journal which contributes to the theoretical and applied nature of justice and politics. The emphasis in CIJP is on the exchange of qualified material in order to generate discussion and extend the often limited boundaries of scholarly exchange. The first edition of CIJP was printed in March and the editors busy putting together the next edition due in late September. A few
spots are still open for the September issue and the editors are already working ahead to fill other forthcoming issues. CIJP are accepting new submissions for upcoming editions. If you have an article or material for consideration then please visit the website at: www.suu.edu/hss/polscj/CIJP.htm. You will find submission guidelines and related material.

institution/agency, background, and the areas of your interest directly to: Carl Franklin, Editor, [email protected].
