Genetics and criminal behavior. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2001. 335pp. [R 81996] (ISBN: 0-521-62214-X). This anthology contains 13 previously unpublished articles derived from a project on behavioral genetics and crime funded by a grant from the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications Branch of the National Institute for Human Genome Research. Robert Wachbroit begins by examining the controversy surrounding the relationship between genes and violent behavior. Elliott Sober then explores the nature-nurture debate, arguing that human beings and their traits fall outside the scope of biology. Different models and types of genetic explana- tions of behavior are then examined by Kenneth Schaffner. Kenneth Taylor argues that heritability statistics have little to offer about crime, criminal, and criminal behavior. Ian Hacking explores the history of research on criminal behavior and the ways people are classified. Allan Gibbard examines the relationships be- tween violence, genes, and heritability. Marcia Baron explores the relation- ship between crime, genes, and criminal responsibility. Peter van Inwagen then argues that even if it could be proven that the high incidence of some type of criminal behavior in a certain population was due to genetic causes, the discovery would be morally and legally irrelevant. P.S. Greenspan ex- plores whether current accounts of the link between genes and criminal be- havior undermine the doctrine of free will. Michael Slote argues that if we understand moral obligation and social justice as calling for certain kinds of practical attitudes on the part of individuals, the question of free will will be- come obviated, and we may still deal with issues of genetic disposition. J.L.A. Garcia then examines some defenses of the new “optimism” (the belief that there is no tension between the truth of determinism and our practices of holding people morally responsible). Finally, David Wasserman explores the meaning and moral significance of claims that particular genetic features predispose a person to violent or antisocial behavior. 1131-33 Burns, Ronald. “Constructing images of workplace homi- cide.” Western Criminological Review 3(1):1-25, 2001. [R 81422] Available online at http://wcr.sonoma.edu/v3n1/burns.html. This study seeks to improve understanding of media imagery with regard to crime. It analyzes workplace homicide “themes” depicted by newspapers, and the particular characteristics of newspaper portrayals of workplace ho- micide. Data were derived from a content analysis of 105 articles published in the top 50 U.S. newspapers between 1992 and 1996. Within the stories were Crime, the Offender, and the Victim—601 156 specific portrayals of workplace homicide (several articles contained more than 1 account). Although newspapers tended to emphasize workplace homicide research findings, the specifics found in media portrayals generally differed from those found in government reports. Violent incidents at work that do not involve the stereotypical workplace murderer (i.e., “the nut with the gun”) are not framed by the media as workplace violence. Thus, the media presents a skewed view of these acts. In addition, by underrepresenting the percentage of males who are actually victimized by workplace homicide, the media cre- ates or perpetuates the impression that everyone is equally susceptible to such attacks. Finally, the newspaper portrayals contradicted Bureau of La- bor Statistics findings suggesting that traditional, street criminals are the primary offenders in such incidents. 1132-33 Katz, Rebecca S.; Whitaker, Stephen. “Explaining accom- modation and resistance in Kentucky.” Crime, Law and Social Change (ISSN: 0925-4994), 35(4):295-318, 2001. [R 82865] This study identifies macro level processes most representative of the crimes of industrialists (crimes of domination and repression) that explain the crimes of the working poor (crimes of resistance and accommodation). A primary tenet of critical theory is that capitalism and economic inequality produce crimes of resistance and crimes of accommodation, and thus exces- sive social control. Although most tests of this paradigm focus on the urban poor or people of color as oppressed groups, Kentucky counties were used as aggregate groups suffering from industrial exploitation, economic oppres- sion and excessive social control. It was hypothesized that the capitalist ex- ploitation and colonization of the region’s natural resources would lead to crimes of resistance (marijuana cultivation) and crimes of accommodation (child maltreatment). Data on female marijuana plants eradicated in the years 1990, 1991, 1993, and 1997 were gathered from local law enforcement agencies. Child maltreatment indicators were selected from 1995 data on substantiated re- ports of child maltreatment in each of KY’s 125 counties. In counties where more families lived in poverty, marijuana cultivation appeared as a method of survival and resistance to oppressive and exploitive work. Specifically, as the tons of coal produced by each county increased, marijuana cultivation in- creased. Accommodation to the oppressive and exploitive conditions of capi- talism and colonization occurred as the result of occupational injuries in the workforce, which significantly increased the rate of child maltreatment across KY. Local police presence also increased child maltreatment, which means that local residents may perceive

  • The Fantasy of Whiteness: Blackness and Aboriginality in American and Australian Culture
    The Fantasy of Whiteness: Blackness and Aboriginality in American and Australian Culture Benjamin Miller A thesis submitted to the School of English, Media and Performing Arts at the University of New South Wales in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2009 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname: MILLER First name: BENJAMIN Other name/s: IAN Degree: PhD School: ENGLISH, MEDIA AND PERFORMING ARTS Faculty: ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Title: MR ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that a fantasy of white authority was articulated and disseminated through the representations of blackness and Aboriginality in nineteenth-century American and Australian theatre, and that this fantasy influenced the representation of Aboriginality in twentieth- century Australian culture. The fantasy of whiteness refers to the habitually enacted and environmentally entrenched assumption that white people can and should superintend the cultural representation of Otherness. This argument is presented in three parts. Part One examines the complex ways in which white anxieties and concerns were expressed through discourses of blackness in nineteenth-century American blackface entertainment. Part Two examines the various transnational discursive connections enabled by American and Australian blackface entertainments in Australia during the nineteenth century. Part Three examines the legacy of nineteenth-century blackface entertainment in twentieth-century Australian culture. Overall, this dissertation investigates some of the fragmentary histories and stories about Otherness that coalesce within Australian culture. This examination suggests that representations of Aboriginality in Australian culture are influenced and manipulated by whiteness in ways that seek to entrench and protect white cultural authority. Even today, a phantasmal whiteness is often present within cultural representations of Aboriginality.

  • Underbelly: a Case Study in Cultural Production
    Underbelly: A Case Study in Cultural Production Anne Elizabeth Ferguson Bachelor Communication Bachelor Arts (Hons) School of Criminology and Criminal Justice Arts, Education Law Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submitted for examination May 2016 Synopsis Based loosely on the events which occurred in Melbourne during the period 1995-2004, Underbelly retold the story of how and why a gang war was carried out on Melbourne streets. It also told the story of why Task Force Purana was formed to bring the gang war to an end. Being scheduled for broadcast concurrently with the R v A trial, Underbelly raised concerns about the judicial process, namely the rights of the accused to a fair trial, free from external interference. I am not aware, nor was the Victorian judiciary, of the scheduling of any other television crime mini-series which had coincided with a trial. Melbournians were frequently subjected to the real events of the capital city’s gangland war which were widely reported in various newspapers, and which were broadcast on television, radio and the internet where viewers were confronted with gruesome images of victims. Capitalising on the popularity of such news stories were numerous books such as Big Shots (Shand, 2007a), Leadbelly (Silvester and Rule, 2004) and Underbelly (Silvester and Rule, 2008), still in print at the time of Underbelly’s broadcast and available to Victorians even when the series was banned. The news items and books informed the public about the controversial lives of those who chose to live outside societal norms.

  • Arthur William Upfield: a Biography
    ARTHUR WILLIAM UPFIELD: A BIOGRAPHY Travis B. Lindsey BLittComm MA This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University February 2005 ii I declare that this dissertation is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at a university or other institution. (Travis Barton Lindsey) iii ABSTRACT This dissertation is an exhaustive account of the life and work of Arthur William Upfield (1890-1964). It is presented as a critical biography and narrates the life of the writer, in his socio-cultural milieu, from birth. It also positions Upfield as a writer who dealt with issues of Aboriginality at a time when this was a singularly polemical subject. My work is informed by the theory of Zygmunt Bauman and others and is posited in the context of late-modern biography theory. English-born, Upfield arrived in Australia in 1911 and took work in the bush, serving overseas with the Australian army at the outbreak of World War I and marrying an Australian army nurse in Egypt. Returning with his wife and son to Australia in 1921 he intermittently carried his swag until he was employed patrolling the Western Australian number 1 rabbit-proof fence for three years to 1931. By that time he had published four novels, including two crime novels featuring his fictional creation, the part-Aboriginal, part-European, Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte (“Bony”), arguably the first fully-developed character in Australian popular fiction. Leaving the fence, Upfield settled with his family in Perth and wrote full-time until joining the Melbourne Herald in 1933.
