T'S
MESSAGE
It was Marx (Groucho,
not
Karl) who is reputed to
have
once said,
"Why
should I
care about future generations?
What
have they
done
for me lately?"
Although
many
Australian
and
New
Zealand
criminologists may be
more
concerned
with
the
travails of
the
present,
The
Executive of
the
Australian
and
New
Zealand Society of Criminology has an eye to
the
future. For this reason, we
have
introduced a
new
scale of membership fees for full time students,
and
are
encouraging more established members of
the
society to recruit younger people to
our ranks.
Further to encourage our younger colleagues,
the
Executive has established two
new
awards,
one
to recognise
the
outstanding publication by a scholar under
the
age
of
35,
the
second to recognise
the
best paper by a full time student. It is my
pleasure to
announce
that
the
inaugural winners of these awards are asfollows:
Young Scholar Award:
"Crimes
of
the
State:
Victimisation
of
South
African
Political Exiles in
the
United
Kingdom" by Mark Israel, of
the
Faculty of Law at
Hinders University.
The
article was published in
Crime,
Lawand
Social
Change,
vol
21 (1998) pp.
1-29.
Student Paper Award:
"Art
Crime: An Exploratory Study of
the
Illegitimate
Art
Market
in
Australia"
by
Lisette
Aarons,
of
the
Department
of
Criminology,
University of Melbourne.
Iwould like to
extend
my warmest congratulations to
both
winners,
and
my
personal thanks to
the
three
judges of this year's awards:
Dr David Indermaur, University of Western Australia
Dr
John
Pratt, Victoria University of Wellington
Ms
Heather
Strang, Australian
National
University
Information regarding future awards, including criteria of eligibility
and
deadlines
for submissions, may be found
on
the
Society's Web Page:

With
our
Web
Page
maintained
in
Western
Australia, our Journal
edited
in
New
Zealand,
and
our
next
Annual
Conference to be
held
in Melbourne in
March
2001, ours is truly
an
Australian
and
New
Zealand Society. I am grateful
to
all
those
members whose support
and
enthusiasm
have
contributed to
the
Society's
achievements.
