An Evaluation and Comparison of the Horowhenua and Tararua Community Alcohol Action Programmes (CAAP) This Thesis is presented as partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Psychology at Massey University Gina Rickards 1996 11 ABSTRACT In New Zealand, Community Alcohol Action Programmes (CAAP) have emerged to address the high number of alcohol-related road injuries and fatalities. The present stuciy is an evaluation and comparison of the Horowhenua and Tararua CAAP programmes. Subjects (n=l 75) from several different groups within these communities were interviewed and observational studies of licensed premises (n=36) were used to collect data. Statistical analysis (chi-square) was conducted to see whether one programme had been more successful in meeting its aims and objectives than the other. Few statistically significant differences were found indicating that the programmes were on the whole similar. However, prior to the commencement of this piece of research, a number of potential problems concerning the evaluations were identified. These relate mainly to the fact that the evaluation of the programmes had not been planned for before they were implemented. It was concluded that the citizens involved in community action programmes often have little awareness of research design and evaluation. This can limit the utility of such programmes and make it difficult to draw valid or reliable conclusions concerning their efficacy.

The Fast and the Spurious: Geographies of Youth Car Culture in Hamilton, New Zealand by Paul Beere A Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Sciences University of Waikato 2007 ABSTRACT “Boy racers” or “hoons” attract extensive media attention and are often the focus of public concern. Discourses about “hooning” often focus on notions of public safety and illegal behaviour. What is largely absent from these debates is alternative explanations as to why young people choose to engage in “hooning” behaviour, what drives them to congregate in public spaces and why they choose to express themselves through an “autocentric” culture. When these issues are addressed it is usually within broader policy frameworks which seek ways of dissipating youth activities in spaces constructed as “trouble spots”.

  • Developments in Traffic Crash Investigation. Errol Brown
    Developments in Traffic Crash Presentation E.C. Brown Developments In Traffic Crash Investigation New Zealand Police During Period 1 July 1992 To 31 March 2005 E.C. Brown New Zealand Police ABSTRACT Over the last decade there have been major changes within New Zealand Police in Serious Traffic Crash Investigation. This paper discusses the changes, some of the problems and techniques used by encountered by Investigators and concludes with a short discussion on the next round of changes.i. 1 Developments in Traffic Crash Presentation E.C. Brown 1. INTRODUCTION My starting point is 1 July 1992 when the Traffic Safety Service, was amalgamated with New Zealand Police. Overnight Police underwent a dramatic change. The first major issue encountered was that administration and funding for of road safety1 is controlled by a joint government programme that specifies service delivery and performance measures. The document sets out the requirements for all Traffic Enforcement including Crash Investigation. The publicity on the police enforcement programme is driven by our response to the Government’s requirements. The second major issue flows from the funding stream. All crashes are serious, but Police do not have the resources or funding to investigate all traffic crashes in depth. We are aware that fatal crashes have the highest public interest and conclude with a Coroners Court hearing. With the ability of the Coroner to make recommendations to prevent accidental deaths, if we can determine the causes of these crashes correctly, improvements in road design, enforcement or education to prevent future fatalities, will also reduce the incidence of other crashes.
