Moving Violations: A Study Of Incivility And Violence Against Urban Bus Drivers In Australia, Robyn Lincoln, Adrienne Gregory
Moving Violations: A Study Of Incivility And Violence Against Urban Bus Drivers In Australia, Robyn Lincoln, Adrienne Gregory
Robyn Lincoln
International research suggests that transport workers are at significantly higher risk of being assaulted than those in most other job categories. For drivers of urban buses the potential for passenger violence is exacerbated because of proximity to the public, availability of cash and lack of guardianship. There is a paucity of data, however, about the prevalence, incidence and nature of assaults against drivers, which is further hampered by the claim that less than ten percent of violent incidents are reported. This article presents preliminary findings from a multi-method study conducted in southeast Queensland, Australia, into the extent of violence and …

'Shhh ... We Can't Tell You': An Update On The Naming Prohibition Of Young Offenders, Duncan Chappell, Robyn Lincoln
Robyn Lincoln
Prohibitions on the naming of young offenders in criminal proceedings remain a controversial issue both in Australia and abroad. Despite international obligations, like those contained in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, to protect the privacy of young people in conflict with the law jurisdictions like the Northern Territory (NT) continue to flout such provisions by placing few restrictions on media reporting of criminal cases involving juveniles. Amidst political clamours for ever more punitive measures to deal with youth crime other jurisdictions now seem bent upon following the NT's approach. A notable and largely unnoticed exception to …

Culture Matters: Forensic Issues For Australian Indigenous Peoples, Robyn Lincoln
Robyn Lincoln
Extract:
There has clearly been an extensive amount of scientific focus on Indigenous peoples in the 200 plus years since colonisation. There were many early scientific expeditions, work done by linguists and anthropologists, followed by the involvement of legal practitioners in land rights claims or those working in the health and mental health fields. More recently too, criminological attention has been paid to the interactions of Indigenous Australians and the processes of the criminal justice system largely because of the disproportionate number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples being dealt with by justice agencies. And, of course, in addition …

Inequalities Of Crime, Kathleen Daly, Robyn Lincoln
Robyn Lincoln
This chapter explores seven major propositions on the relationship between crime and social inequality, moving from the societal level to the individual criminal act. We then turn to the image that criminologists have of inequalities of people and the ways they explain the disproportionate presence of disadvantaged groups in the criminal justice system. This image, which we term the familiar analysis of inequality, focuses on class, and to a lesser extent, on race/ethnicity and age. However, the familiar analysis has a major flaw: It ignores sex/gender. When sex/gender is drawn into the analysis, two observations can be made. The first …
