From:
Philip Johnston [mailto:scribepj@bigpond.com] Peter References:
Could you provide to me the contact details of initially one or two people who want the following aspects of the Criminal Justice System materially improved:
Alternatively, I could post a CD and USB Stick, with A4 hardcopy, to Level 2, Sir Samuel Way Building, Victoria Square, Adelaide or ACPC’s other nominated postal address. I have prepared a Peer Review Questions document (final Attachment) to facilitate people who want the above three unacceptable aspects of our Criminal Justice System mitigated and have the courage of their convictions. I will then post a CD and USB Stick and A4 of My Discussion Paper to the postal addresses provided. The CD will auto open in a Windows operating system at my covering letter addressed to each person who is prepared to –

Dear Mr Johnston Your email to the Public officer of ACPC, Mr Adam Bodzioch, has been referred to me.
I propose to forward the material you have provided to the Executive for their

I should also add that our website is currently being rebuilt and I will have to

Attention: Adam Bodzioch, Treasurer and Public OfficerWill the ACPC publish the final cut of my “Discussion Paper – Thinking Outside the Cell” on its webpage 'Crime Prevention Articles' after it is ‘peer reviewed’ by at least three recognised ‘crime prevention authorities’?Will the ACPC also publish written comments of ‘peer reviewers on its webpage 'Crime Prevention Articles'?Attachment H is a htm file that contains the ACPC’s Constitution and Rules. I have marked-up pertinent clauses that support my above request, not limited to the immediately below indented clauses and definitions:Clause 4 ‘Objects”, in particular Clause 4.8 “To provide a forum for the free discussion of all matters of interest amongst those who pursue the objects of the Council.”The definition of Crime Prevention “strategies, including programs and initiatives (with associated attitudes and behaviours) directed at reducing crime rates, recidivism rates, and the fear of crime and directed at enhancing within the community a sense of safety and a feeling of security and directed at improving the quality of life in society and developing environments where crime cannot flourish.”Clause 5 Functions and Powers, in particular Clause 5.2- 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. I note that the Australian Crime Prevention Council is a voluntary association of individuals, departments and organisations representing a wide cross section of interests and disciplines, including branches of the criminal justice system, courts, police, corrections, prisons, mental health services, criminology and ethnic minority groups.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 premeditated 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 - 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’.
