THE EFFECTS OF RACE AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC
STATUS ON JUVENILE OFFENDING STATISTICS
31 p. 1975. $1

This report examines the extent to which the difference in
European and non-European offending rates reflects variations
in the socio-economic distributions of the two populations.
The results indicate that, while a substantial proportion of
the difference in offending rates for the two racial groups can be
attributed to socio-economic factors, the larger part of this
difference cannot be accounted for in this way. Both the
theoretical and the practical implications of this finding are
discussed. (Research Unit, Joint Committee on Young
Offenders.)

52 p. 50c

Although originally written for staff training purposes in
the Public Service, this booklet became popular with outside

describes planning and organising both large and small
group discussions and contains many useful hints which will
help the discussion leader to get the best out of his group,
whether he is an old hand or a novice at leading discussion.
Also included are lists of books for further reading and
recommended films. (State Services Commission.)
