Abstract

Following recent changes to the juvenile justice system in South Australia, police officers are expected to adopt a more proactive role in intervening with young offenders. The present study addressed the possible role of attitudinal, personality, and demographic differences as predictors of police preparedness to employ diversionary practices with young offenders. Participants were 201 operational police officers. Examined were the relationships between reported diversionary behavior in response to juvenile and adult offending scenarios and individual differences in legal authoritarianism, punitiveness, proactive personality, empathy, job classification, educational level, age, and length of service. Preparedness to divert adult offenders was significantly predicted by age (negatively). Although preparedness to divert young offenders was partially explained by responses to adult offending scenarios, empathy, legal authoritarianism (negatively) and, to a lesser degree, educational level, made significant unique contributions to a predictive model. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for understanding of the manner in which police are likely to exercise discretionary powers with juvenile offenders.

Abstract

Coming from a long tradition of Quaker beliefs, Mary Parker Follett advocated for an integrative unity in the organization or state where members work together, consensus is built, and power is shared. She applied her process of integration to management practices in both business and government. Parker Follettʼns communitarian ideas and philosophy of smaller more participative government have often run counter to administration and managementsʼn focus on regulation and centralized power. This has contributed to the benign neglect of Parker Follettʼns work in the administrative and management literature. Parker Follettʼns work has been lost and found repeatedly over the past half century. In the rapidly changing and uncertain times of the new millennium we need once again to rediscover her holistic and healing approach to administration and management.

Abstract

Much of the discussion surrounding the antivaccine movement focuses on the decision of parents to not vaccinate their children and the resulting danger posed to others. However, the primary risk is borne by the child left unvaccinated. Although living in a developed country with high vaccination rates provides a certain amount of protection through population immunity, the unvaccinated child is still exposed to a considerably greater risk of preventable diseases than one who is vaccinated. I explore the tension between parental choice and the child’s right to be free of preventable diseases. The chapter’s goal is twofold: to advocate for moving from a dyadic framework – considering the interests of the parents against those of the state – to a triadic one, in which the interests of the child are given as much weight as those of the parent and the state; and to discuss which protections are available, and how they can be improved. Specific legal tools available to protect that child are examined, including tort liability of the parents to the child, whether and to what degree criminal law has a role, under what circumstances parental choice should be overridden, and the role of school immunization requirements in protecting the individual child.

Abstract

Purpose

As accounting academics, the authors know that performance measurement is well-trodden ground in the literature. Yet rarely have they turned their gaze inwards to examine the performance controls which they are subject to in the own everyday working life. Over the past 40 years, the rise of the New Public Management paradigm and neoliberalism has intensified changes in the way universities, disciplines and individual academics justify the quality of their work. This paper aims to explore the impact of accountingisation on the field and the Australian public sector higher education sector.

Design/methodology/approach

The perceptions of accounting academics in Australia’s 37 business faculties and schools were collected via an online survey. Additionally, a document analysis of annual reports, internal reports, strategy documents and other confidential material were also used.

Findings

The changes have included the use of corporate and individual research metrics aimed at increasing institutional status, brand reputation and revenue generation. These changes have transformed business schools and universities into commercial enterprises and commoditised education. What this analysis demonstrates is the apparent relationship between various government agendas, the commercialisation of universities and the distortion of the research activities by individual academics. For increased profits and efficiencies, individual scholars have paid the highest price.

Practical implications

If the accounting discipline is to be sustainable in the long term, business schools in Australia must reconfigure their performance measurement systems.

Originality/value

To date, research on “accountingisation” has previously been primarily conducted in the health and social services sectors. This research raises rarely heard voices to expose the actual social and human costs of accountingisation in Australia’s higher education sector.

Abstract

Vladimir Nabokov's 1954 novel Lolita is one of the most frequently mentioned works in discussions of censorship, probably because of its undeniable literary merit and the enthusiasm with which its detractors and defenders have condemned and praised it. It has been condemned as pornography for its sexual content and as depravity for its unusual and even shocking subject matter, and has been praised as one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.
