- To publish crime
prevention information;
- To make submissions to improve
the laws in relation to public offences and offenders and the procedures by
which those laws are enforced.
The
Council's objectives include:
·
Assist and promote the prevention of crime;
·
Encourage participation by citizens in the
prevention of crime;
·
Provide a forum for the free discussion of
crime prevention issues;
·
Develop awareness and better understanding of the problems of
crime and methods properly available to prevent it.
Primarily,
the Council sees itself as a facilitator - bringing people and organisations
with similar goals together.
Will
ACPC publish my invitation set out below under
the heading “Discussion Paper – Thinking Outside the Cell” on its website?
My
further below indented invitation –
A.
outlines my ‘Thinking Outside the Cell’ model for Australia’s
Correctional Services prisons (based on research evident in
Attachments ‘C’ and ‘E’) to reduce the magnitude of a Baker's Dozen Problems
(Attachment ‘B’) within the Australian prison system and the horrific
incidence of homicides annually resulting from
domestic violence; and
B.
invites interested readers (to contact me – Philip
Johnston - at scribepj@gmail.com) who share my belief
that sentencing of both Corporal Punishment and Capital Punishment need to be
re-introduced on a restrained basis, for some criminals. In the case of
Capital Punishment for some murders, to reduce –
I.
the magnitude of a Baker's Dozen Problems (Attachments ‘B’) within
the Australian prison system; and
II. vicious homicides against defenseless citizens - Femicide and Filicide.
Attachment
‘D’ is one of over 150 articles, reports, submissions (listed in
Attachment ‘C’) that I have –
1. downloaded a PDF or a html
file;
2. extracted the text and
saved the text in a htm file;
3. read and colour background
interesting aspects of those papers; and
4.
linked the htm file with an embedded thread, so readers can readily –
* validate the source of all
information in my Discussion Paper; and
* evidence key findings that
I took from each of over 150 documents.
Discussion Paper – Thinking
Outside the Cell
“My
name is Philip Johnston. I retired 13 years
ago after a long career at one of the Four Pillar banks where, in the latter part, I administered as
‘Agent bank’ many large infrastructure projects (purchase of Sydney
Airport and Brisbane Airports post-privatization, construction of
Sydney Harbour Tunnel ‘et al’).
I
attained a B.A. with a major in Economics and a Masters in Applied Finance
from Macq Uni.
Australian
Femicide Facebook
reported 63 women murdered to 5 October 2018.
Impact
For Women
reports that 79 women and 22 children were killed in Australia in 2018 due to
domestic violence.
The
Red Heart Campaign report that 19 children aged 23 years or younger and 79 women died
almost exclusively from domestic violence in 2018.
Over
50% of inmates released from Australian prisons in 2014 had returned to prison
within three years.
After
reading over 150 papers, submissions, articles, reports, I have written a
discussion paper titled 'Looking Outside the Cell' (available on a DVD
or USB Stick Flash Drive) that prosecutes the case to sentence both Corporal
and Capital Punishments on a restrained basis, the latter being sentenced for
some criminals for some premediated murders or
vicious murders against defenseless women and children, to reduce –
I. the
magnitude of a Baker's Dozen Problems within the Australian prison system; and
II. the
horrendous annual homicide rates caused by domestic violence.
The
Scandinavian countries and Texas USA have achieved success with Restorative
Justice and are not experiencing the Baker's Dozen Problems to the same
unsustainable extent as in the remainder of the USA states, the UK,
Canada, Australia ‘et al’.
A
burnt DVD provides greater integrity than a USB Stick and will auto-open (in a
Windows operating system) at my 'Looking Outside the Cell'
discussion paper. A reader can readily click on embedded threads
therein to review source material relied upon.
I will post a
DVD or a USB Stick to anyone who -
A. agrees the need to re-introduce both Capital and Corporal Punishment
because of the Baker's Dozen Problems; and
B.
emails me at scribepj@gmail.com
that that they are prepared to expend at least –
*
three hours to read my discussion paper 'Thinking
Outside the Cell'; and
*
will then email me, or ‘phone me, with their comments.”
Thinking Outside the Cell –
(i)
provides for judges to Sentence both Capital Punishment and
Corporal Punishment to reduce existing jail incarceration sentences at MAXIMUM PENALTIES by approx
50%, because Corporal Punishment is the Punishment. Incarceration to
‘serve your time’ is not the Punishment). Prison is for Rehabilitation;
(ii)
draws largely on Attachment I ‘Incarceration
Practices based on the Restorative Justice Model Successfully
Adopted in Scandinavia since the late 20th century’ where
prisons predominantly are rehabilitation institutions; and
(iii)
addresses every aspect required to materially reduce
offending and re-offending rates.
I will post a DVD and a USB Flash Drive Stick that contain my discussion paper 'Thinking
Outside the Cell' to Adam Bodzioch if you would like to review it
before publishing my above indented request that seeks ‘peer reviewers’.
