A perception of escalating social disorder and allegations of police corruption and ineptitude have led to a social and political imperative to reform policing. Fundamental to this reform is the modification of the core mission of the police and the operational practices of the uniformed Constable. The core characteristics of policing and the operational practices of the uniformed Constable are determined by the core mission and the operational context of policing. -- Despite an imperative to reform the quality and provision of police services to the community the core mission of the police has not fundamentally altered during the last half century and remains crime control (Zaho, 1996). The core mission of contemporary policing has been criticised for being in direct conflict with basic democratic principles and for being simply unachievable. This thesis will establish that the origins and occurrence of crime, its prevalence and persistence is detennined by social, economic and cultural factors that are beyond the control of the police. It will be argued that long-term successful law-enforcement in a democratic society requires the acceptance, cooperation and approval of the community. Community oriented policing may provide the theoretical framework for internalising normative controls and for enhancing public participation in and sharing responsibility for crime control. -- It will be demonstrated that the strategc shift in policing implicit within the theoretical framework of community policing has significant implications for the reform of police . education and training. Several commentators and various Commissions of Inquiry have recommended upgrading police education and training, and the participation of police in tertiary education. -- The reform of police practice is contingent upon the reform of the core mission and the operational context of policing. The core mission and the operational context of policing is substantially defined, controlled and manipulated by the perceptions, expectations and actions of stakeholders. Directly or indirectly these have been found to be antithetical to alternative models of policing that are service orientated; thus blocking, diluting or redirecting efforts to implement community policing. -- Unless the core mission of the police and the operational context of policing are substantially modified then police education will continue to have a limited impact upon the operational practices of the uniformed Constable.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: leaves 210-226. Based on 18 months ethnographic fieldwork about the ways in which members of the South Australian Police Band make music. Studies their disconnection from the body of the community, acheived via an embodiment of emotional disconnection; the power of the Department to appropriate a particular order of emotion for the purposes of power; and, the misrecognition of the appropriation of emotion by members of the public who are open to the Department's emotional domination. The context material describes the reasons for the existence of the police band in the police view, while the core material of the thesis is concerned with describing what it is that police band members do, and what they do most of all is, in their own words, experience something that they call "the feel".

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contributes to the ongoing discussion of modern Chinese identity by pro-viding a case study of Cheok Hong CHEONG. It necessarily considers Australian atti-tudes towards the Chinese during the 19th century, not least the White Australia Pol-icy. The emergence of that discriminatory immigration policy over the second half of the 19th century until its national implementation in 1901 provides the background to the thesis. Cheong was the leading figure among Chinese-Australian Christians and a prominent figure in the Australian Chinese community and the thesis seeks to iden-tify a man whose contribution has largely been shadowy in other studies or, more commonly, overlooked by the parochialism of colony/state emphasis in many histo-ries of Australia. His role in the Christian church fills a space in Victorian religious history.
Although Cheong accumulated great wealth he was not part of the Chinese mer-chant class of the huagong/huaquiao traditions of the overseas Chinese diaspora of the 19th and 20th centuries. His wealth was accumulated through property investments following the spectacular collapse of the Victorian banking system during the 1890s. His community leadership role arose through his position in the Christian Church rather than, as was generally the case, through business. His English language skills, resulting from his church association, were the key to his role as a Chinese community spokesman.¶
Cheok Hong Cheong left an archive of some 800 documents in the English lan-guage covering the major people, incidents and concerns of his life and times. His Let-terbooks, together with the archives of the various Christian missions to the Chinese in Australia in the 19th and early 20th centuries, shed light on one person’s life and more broadly, through his involvements on the complex relationships of Chinese emigrants, with the often unsympathetic majority of Australians.¶
This is a case study of a Chinese identity formed outside China and influenced by a wider set of cultural influences than any other Chinese-Australian of his time —an identity that justifies the description of him as an ‘Alien Son’. Cheong’s story is a con-tribution to the urban and family history of an important ethnic sub-group within the wider immigrant history of Australia.¶
While Cheong remained a Chinese subject his identification with Australia cannot be questioned. All his children were born in Australia and he left just twice after his arrival in 1863. He visited England in 1891-2 and in 1906 he briefly visited China. Identity and culture issues are growing in importance as part of the revived relation-ship between the Chinese of the diaspora and the economic renewal of the People’s Republic of China and this thesis is offers a contribution to that discussion.

Full textAbstract:
Three groups of health care professionals were canvassed for
their views on euthanasia - student nurses, practising
nurses and doctors. The aim of the research was to make a
possible contribution to a formalised health policy on this
issue for the ACT.
The following forms of euthanasia were covered by the
research:
(i) voluntary active euthanasia:
(ii) voluntary passive euthanasia:
(iii) involuntary active euthanasia:
(iv) involuntary passive euthanasia.
Passive forms of euthanasia were found to be the most
acceptable.
Voluntary forms of euthanasia were not found, in general, to
be more approved of than involuntary forms of euthanasia.
However, active forms of euthanasia were much less
acceptable than passive forms.
In order to adapt the research findings to a methodology for
policy use. Allison's models (1971) of public policy
development were modified into a single model. This provided
an application of the research results in such a way as to
allow for the development of a possible formalised policy on
euthanasia, and practical applications.
The conclusions drawn from the research findings and the
subsequent recommendations are supportive of law reform and
the implementation of a new policy on the issue of
euthanasia.

Edith Cowan University. Education And Arts: School Of, 2003. http://adt.ecu.edu.au/adt-public/adt-ECU2006.0010.html.
Full textAbstract:
This is a cross-national qualitative study with the purpose of obtaining perspectives held by people with quadriplegia and leading figures in disability movements in the Netherlands and Australia on the issues of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (EPAS). A disability voice is not prominent in public debate on EPAS in Australia or the Netherlands, even though people with disabilities are often thought to be vulnerable in relation to EPAS policies. Disability perspectives are potentially valuable in illuminating issues in relation to euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, because issues of dependence, independence, and individual autonomy play important roles in relation to both EPAS and to living with disability. The study's methodology uses a phenomenological approach and incorporates aspects of heuristics and grounded theory. Its conceptual framework incorporates MacIntyre's (1999) theory of acknowledged dependency and vulnerability; Habermas' (1989) theory of knowledge; and Festinger's (1959) theory of cognitive dissonance. The main sample of twenty people with quadriplegia (the grassroots sample) was interviewed in the Netherlands and in Australia.

Full textAbstract:
Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are one new technology which offers promise for transport sustainability and improving energy efficiency. Global enthusiasm for PEVs has spurred broad-reaching interest, but for jurisdictions where PEV policies are absent, as in Australia, consumer adoption continues to be low. Research into the barriers of adoption for PEVs often identifies cost and lack of infrastructure as key barriers, but consumer's purchase experience plays a pivotal role in technology adoption. This research will help the PEV industry and governments to understand how critical the consumer purchase experience is to overall market success.

Vaughan-Games, Darcy. "Sytems theory and attitude measurement in political science : as applied to the Australian accord." Phd thesis, 1987. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/124874.
Full textAbstract:
The first part of the thesis takes a macro-view of the social significance of the
agreement known as the Accord, whilst the second part takes a micro-view of the same
subject, delving into individual psychology in search of attitudes to the Accord.
A broad interpretation of politics is required to analyse the full (political) import of
the Accord. The theoretical framework for the macro-analysis is based on David
Eas ton’s model according to which the political system processes inputs of demands
and support into outputs of policy for the authoritative allocation of values for society.
Easton’s work benefits from being associated with wider and more recent systems
theorising, especially the hierarchic aspects of living systems theory. It is then
possible to say that the political system is an essential subsystem of society and all
that that entails, and to interpret contemporary political events associated with the
Accord as subsystemic differentiation of the political system. The thesis also suggests
that the Australian trade union leadership is playing a key role in the political
development of Australia. The history of ideas that shaped the Accord shows that it is
much more than a prices and incomes policy instrument. The national interest role of
the ACTU and industry restructuring are shown to be the key ideas involved.
Part Two looks at attitudes to the Accord. Deficiencies in scale-based techniques of
attitude measurement are examined and a better method -- the Stephenson/Brown
approach — is demonstrated by two studies of attitudes to the Accord. The responses
of 60 persons who performed Q-sorts were factor-analysed and used as the basis of
other computer analyses to obtain the range of attitudes in the community towards
the Accord, and a group of 12 persons undertaking an intensive education program
about the Accord were tested with Q-sorts on two separate occasions to study attitude
change. Six typical attitude patterns were found in the first study, and the rigidity of
attitude structures was confirmed by the second.
The common theme of the two parts of the thesis, aside from the Accord being the
substantive matter investigated in both, is their search for sound methodological bases
for dynamic modelling of political culture. For such a task, the macro-model must be
capable of handling multi-level complexity, and only systems models are capable of
this. The raw data of political culture — attitudes — also require a methodology of
measurement which is equal to the task of capturing complexity, now available in the
Stephenson/Brown approach to attitude measurement and analysis.

Brownbill, Aimee Lee. "Marketing and Consumer Perceptions of Sugar-Containing Beverages Positioned as Healthy or as Having Health-Related Benefits." Thesis, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/127016.
Full textAbstract:
Reducing population consumption of sugar-containing beverages is widely acknowledged as an important public health measure to address high population prevalence of overweight and obesity and related non-communicable diseases. In this thesis, I address marketing as a key driver of consumption and explore how advertising may function to negate increasing consumer concerns about sugar in beverages. My specific aims were to investigate how sugar-containing beverages are being marketed as healthy, or as having health-related benefits, and, how health-related marketing influences consumers’ perceptions of the healthfulness of these beverages. In study one, I conducted a cross-sectional audit of sugar-containing beverages sold in 17 Australian supermarkets during 2016. I analysed the content of 945 sugar-containing beverage labels to assess the extent and nature of explicit and implicit features that positioned them as healthy or better-for-you. I found that 88% of labels displayed advertising that positioned the beverage as healthy or better-for-you. Certain types of beverages were strongly positioned in this way. I also examined the use of the Health Star Rating System, a government-endorsed front-of-pack labelling scheme, in a sub-set analysis of 762 ready-to-drink sized beverages. I found that in its voluntary nature the system was preferentially displayed on high sugar products that scored a healthy rating, namely juices. In this way the system functioned more as tool for advertising juices than a comprehensive tool for informing consumers. In study two, I further explored the positioning of sugar-containing beverages as healthy or better-for-you in television advertisements. All advertisements on free-to-air television from one Australian major network were collected during 2016. I qualitatively analysed 37 unique advertisements from beverage manufacturers to examine health-related messaging in sugar-containing beverage television advertisements. I observed that beverages were positioned as contributing a functional role to promote and enhance physical, mental and social health and wellbeing. In this way, advertisements were situated in wider understandings and conceptualisations of health. In study three, I explored how young adults conceptualise the healthfulness of sugar-containing beverages. I conducted seven semi-structured focus groups with South Australians aged 18 to 25 years (n=32) to elicit information on perceptions regarding beverage healthfulness and how participants evaluated whether a beverage was healthy, or healthier than others. I found that conceptualisation of beverage healthfulness was a balancing act in which participants weighed up their perceptions of beverage ingredients and properties that they saw to be harmful to health, necessary for health, and beneficial to health. In beverages that are positioned as healthy, ingredients and properties perceived as health-promoting appeared to outweigh concern for sugar content. The studies provide insight into how sugar-containing beverages are being advertised within the current sugar-conscious era and how this positioning aligns with consumers’ understanding of health-promoting products. This body of work highlights the gaps in current advertising regulations that allow beverages high in sugar to be positioned as healthy or as having health-related benefits and makes recommendations for strengthening these regulations. Further, this body of work can be used to inform public health interventions which seek to counter misperceptions of beverage healthfulness.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Public Health, 2020

Ryu, Sarah. "Travel risk perception : a study of the factors affecting risk perception of tourism destinations." Thesis, 2010. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/30234/.
Full textAbstract:
The perception that travel can be a risky activity has taken hold amongst tourists in the last
decade in response to the occurrence of various catastrophic events. As a result, travelers are
now paying greater attention to potential risks at destinations when making their travel plans.
A proper understanding of how such perceptions are formed will be useful for the travel
industry when forecasting and planning for tourism. The current investigation identifies the
factors determining traveller risk perception using an exploratory design, focusing on the risk
perceptions of potential travelers from South Korea to Australia.
