Frost Northeastern University Joshua D. Freilich John Jay College of Criminal Justice The 2009 American Society of Criminology program promises to be another intellectually and socially stimulating conference. The Philadelphia program also promises to be one of the largest ASC conferences in recent years, featuring more than 600 panel sessions and more than 220 poster presentations. Together with ASC President, Todd R. Clear, we decided on the program theme Criminology and Criminal Justice Policy because it really captures the spirit of much of the recent work undertaken by both the ASC board and by many individual members of the society. Criminologists are increasingly acknowledging – indeed often emphasizing – the policy relevance of their work. In keeping with the program theme, we wanted to somehow highlight policy throughout the 2009 program. To do so, we decided to feature a new kind of session. For the 2009 conference, we solicited the usual individual presentations, thematic panels, roundtables and posters, but also included a new type of submission – policy proposals. Those interested in presenting policy proposals needed to submit an abstract by the regular deadline and a full draft of the essay just two months later (and almost six months ahead of the actual conference). The program chairs, Todd Clear, and eight Policy Area Chairs vetted the proposals in a mini-peer review process that was designed primarily to ensure the submission met the established criteria for presentation during a policy proposal session. The author needed to articulate and then defend a policy proposal relying on a body of empirical evidence. Two discussants – chosen by the committee – were selected to serve as discussants responding to the policy proposal during the session. These policy proposal sessions are featured sessions offered throughout the program on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. No more than two of the policy sessions are running at any one time and all will be held in one of two rooms (Franklin 1 or Franklin 2). The format for these sessions involves presentation of the policy proposal, comments from each of the two discussants, followed by an open panel/audience discussion. We expect these sessions will be lively forums for policy debates and encourage all members to attend these sessions. In a unique arrangement, Cengage Learning graciously agreed to publish the book, Contemporary Issues in Criminal Justice Policy: Policy Proposals from the American Society of Criminology Conference, and distribute it free-of-charge at the conference. The book, edited by Frost, Freilich, and Clear, features all 23 policy proposals along with 30 response essays written by leading scholars in their respective areas (who will also serve as discussants for the sessions). A complimentary copy of the book is being made available to every registered conference attendee and we strongly encourage all to pick use their coupon to pick up their copy during the conference. 4 In addition to the policy sessions, the conference will also feature four presidential plenary sessions offered in the lunch hours on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and a day- long series of sessions focused on policing in Philadelphia. The Policing Philadelphia sessions were organized by colleagues at Temple University and feature prominent policing scholars from around the country presenting alongside some of Philadelphia’s top police officials, including Philadelphia Police Commissioner Ramsey. We have no doubt that these special sessions will also be very popular and fulfilling. Although we obviously encourage session attendance, we are well-aware of the draw of the city of Philadelphia and we hope that all conference attendees take some time out to enjoy this beautiful city. Our conference hotel is in a prime location in downtown Philadelphia with many of the city’s best neighborhoods within walking distance (and Philadelphia is indeed a city of many different neighborhoods). The wonderful and incomparable Reading Terminal Market is diagonally across the street from the hotel. Those of you who have no idea what the Reading Terminal Market is now will no doubt be singing its praises before the end of the week! We can only imagine how many of you will use this opportunity to try on the persona of Rocky Balboa and train on the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum. All we ask is that those of you who do brave jogging the museum’s many (68? 72?) steps share your videos with the rest of us! Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and Penn’s Landing are must-see sights for any first time visitor and, for those who still enjoy a high- calorie, high-fat diet of meat and grease, no visit to Philadelphia would be complete without a stop at Pat’s or Geno’s for the quintessential Philly cheesesteak. Our colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania graciously took on local arrangements for the conference and have provided an eclectic assortment of things to do in and around the city. As program chairs for the 2009 ASC conference, we sincerely hope you enjoy both the conference and your time in the city known as “the city of brotherly love.” We would also like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to Kiki Yoon for her tireless work as program assistant, to Carlos Monteiro for his willingness to help out, to Susan Case (without whom none of this would work so smoothly), and to all of the members of the program committee who worked with us to make this 2009 Philadelphia program come to life. 5 2009 ASC PROGRAM COMMITTEE Program Committee Co-Chairs Natasha A.

  • Christmas Stars Many Use the Coco-Cola Advert As Their Favourite First Sign of Christmas but at St
    December 2018 Christmas Stars Many use the Coco-Cola advert as their favourite first sign of Christmas but at St. Ed’s it is always our Nativity performances that signal Christmas is on its way! This year, our traditional nativity was performed by our Form 1 and Form 2 children who entertained their proud audience with an array of new festive songs including ‘A Great Big Star’ and “It’s a squash, it’s a squeeze”. #St. Ed’s defies anybody who left the Chapel that day without a tear in their eye! The following day it was our Early Years children who turned the Chapel into a winter wonderland of animals helping Rudolph who had lost his nose! After all of the animals kindly offered Rudolph alternatives, including a carrot and a star, it was Mr Walliker himself who saved the day as Rudolph’s nose appeared in his pocket! Thank Christmas for Mr Walliker! Congratulations to our Ties!

Bale U.S. ARMY WAR COLLEGE This Publication SSI Website USAWC Website STRATEGIC STUDIES INSTITUTE The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is part of the U.S. Army War College and is the strategic-level study agent for issues related to national security and military strategy with emphasis on geostrate- gic analysis. The mission of SSI is to use independent analysis to conduct strategic studies that develop policy recommendations on: • Strategy, planning, and policy for joint and combined employment of military forces; • Regional strategic appraisals; • The nature of land warfare; • Matters affecting the Army’s future; • The concepts, philosophy, and theory of strategy; and • Other issues of importance to the leadership of the Army. Studies produced by civilian and military analysts concern topics having strategic implications for the Army, the Department of De- fense, and the larger national security community. In addition to its studies, SSI publishes special reports on topics of special or immediate interest. These include edited proceedings of conferences and topically-oriented roundtables, expanded trip re- ports, and quick-reaction responses to senior Army leaders. The Institute provides a valuable analytical capability within the Army to address strategic and other issues in support of Army par- ticipation in national security policy formulation.

  • The View from the Bridge
    Lobster 59 The view from the bridge Robin Ramsay Have a guess This was sent by Dan Atkinson, who wondered what was ‘out of the question’? From recently-declassified US discussions about the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. General Brown: I have one minor point that sort of parallels what we have been talking about. This Turkish opium issue. Secretary Kissinger: Let’s shut up a week on the poppy issue. We don’t need to get that involved now. Mr. Sisco: I have one small point. [1 line not declassified] Secretary Kissinger: That’s absolutely out of the question. Mr. Sisco: I would think so, too. [1 line not declassified] 1 Oh Canada! Good old Canada! It didn’t join the invasion of Iraq, did it? What an example to this country it set. Alas, it isn’t true. While Canada may not have formally supported the invasion of Iraq, informally it did. In his ‘Canada’s secret war in Iraq’ Richard Sanders quotes the then US Ambassador to Canada ‘... ironically, Canadian naval vessels, aircraft and personnel......will supply more support to this war in Iraq indirectly.....than most of those 46 countries that 1 <www.state.gov/documents/organization/96606.pdf> 94 Summer 2010 are fully supporting our efforts there.’ 2 In his essay Sanders lists that ‘indirect’ support. Elite studies The ripples from the great financial fuck-up will be with us for years. One of the striking themes has been the interest from some of the mainstream media in areas which previously they dismissed as cranky.

  • Her Majesty's Secret Servants
    Her Majesty’s secret servants Robin Ramsay SIS and Libya Henry Kissinger is widely quoted as having once said that ‘America has no friends, only interests’; and when push comes to shove this is true for all states. This island has been called something like ‘perfidious Albion’ for almost a thousand years.1 Neither proposition has ever been better illustrated than by this country’s foreign policy towards Libya in the past 20 years or so. Former MI5 officer David Shayler reported that in 1996 MI6 had paid £100,000 to a Libyan Islamist group for the assassination of Colonel Gadaffi; and, although denied by the British formal foreign policy apparatus, a great deal of evidence, including what are apparently internal FCO documents, supports the claim.2 Fast forward to 2003, and MI6 begins dealing with Libya, through ex – or ‘ex’; deniable, at any rate – MI6 officer Mark Allen. This culminated publicly in the rapprochement symbolised by Gadaffi and Prime Minister Blair embracing in 2004; and privately in the British security and intelligence services helping to send back anti-Gadaffi activists (one from the 1996 group paid by MI6) to their Libyan equivalents for torture.3 As part of the fallout from the end of the Gadaffi regime 1 See, for examples, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfidious _Albion>. 2 This is discussed and the documents are reproduced at <http://cryptome.org/shayler-gaddafi.htm> 3 See, for example, <http://stopwar.org.uk/index.php/tony-blair- watch/878-how-tony-blair-helped-gaddafi-torture-libyan-dissidents> In an interview on the Today programme Tony Blair denied knowing anything about this.
