Chaos or Reason - Community Safety in the Twenty-first Century

Chaos or Reason Conference Brisbane 1993 Published 1993

Proceedings of the 16th. Biennial Conference of the Australian Crime Prevention Council, ACPC, Brisbane, 1993. This publication is designed to challenge Australians to consider an alternative logic to explain criminal behaviour and proposes functional approaches in dealing with both this behaviour and the causative factors that act as a catalyst to this behaviour. Those who have contributed to this document include police and correctional personnel, youth practitioners, academics, drug law reformers, the gay and lesbian community, the murri and islander communities and others for whom intolerance, bigotry, racism, gender and race inequality are constant threats to stable and peaceful relations. The theme of the Conference (government, the community and business working in partnership to deal with crime issues) is presented by some of the best minds in the country who question whether the $4billion spent annually in Australia on "cops courts and corrections" is justified.
