Custodial control or community alternatives? : an examination of the impact of the 1982 Criminal Justice Act in one local authority
State intervention with children and young people in conflict with the law is determined at a local level in England and Wales. While the state lays down legislation which provides a framework for sentencing juvenile offenders, the interaction among agencies involved in local juvenile justice systems determines the day to day practice of controlling young people in trouble with the law. Research into one local juvenile justice system examined the cases of all juveniles sentenced to custody or community alternatives from 1983 through 1988. The research raises issues around methodology, race, criteria for custody, social inquiry reports and agency policy towards juvenile offenders and illustrates a research approach which brings researchers, policy makers, and practitioners together in a productive alliance.
Checks or Blank Cheque? Justifying Custody of Juveniles
The CJA '82 attempted to tighten legislative gatekeeping of judicial use of custody. The authors studied the application of the safeguards in a juvenile court in the North-East, and discovered how elastic and permissive the provisions are in practice.
List of the described Coleoptera ofTasmania.
The Coleoptera of Tasmania have never been considered as 
a whole since the time of Erichson, and no list or 
catalogue of the species has ever been compiled. About 
10,000 species have now been recorded from Australia and 
Tasmania, of which scarcely 400 have been described from 
Tasmania. A very imperfect knowledge of what species 
are confined to the island exists, as species supposed only 
to occur there, are constantly being found in Victoria and 
New South Wales, and even sometimes in Western Australia 
and Queensland; on the other hand, Tasmanian 
collectors frequently obtain mainland species which have 
never been recorded from Tasmania. 
I have considered it advisable, therefore, to prepare a 
list of the species hitherto recorded from Tasmania, adding 
to the list such species as I have seen in Tasmanian collections, 
or have myself taken in Tasmania. In this list, 
the genera and families are placed as far as possible in the 
order in which they appear in Masters' "Catalogue of the 
Described Coleoptera of Australia;" the species are placed 
alphabetically. All known synonyms have been omitted.
