of
Offenders, Kyotot Japan, 17-26 August
1970. The note appearing in Vol. 2, No. 4,
of this Journal seeking participants in an
"afflnity group" travel scheme for this
Congress produced insufficient numbers to
enable such a scheme to be effected.
Erratum:
In our last number of the Journal
it was erroneously stated
that
the
"Current
Comment" by Mr. Paul Wilson (p.50) was
originally read at
the
5th National Con-
ference of the Australian Crime Preven-
tion, Correction and
After-eareCouncil
held in Perth, August 1969. We apologlse
to all concerned for
the
error (Ed.).
