GENERAL PUBLICATIONS

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.)

EFFECTIVE DISCUSSION

52 p. 60c

Although originally written for staff training purposes in the Public Service, this booklet became popular with outside organisations as a guide to the conduct of meetings. It 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.)
