Will the Sydney Institute of Criminology publish my invitation set out below under the heading “Discussion Paper – Thinking Outside the Cell” on the moderated bulletin board of Australian criminologists, CRIMNET?

My further below indented text –

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’) with the Australian prison system and the horrific incidence of homicides annually due to domestic violence; and

B.   invites readers (to contact me 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 premediated murders, to reduce –

       I.    the magnitude of a Baker's Dozen Problems (Attachments ‘B’) within the Australian prison system; and

       II.   homicides due to domestic violence.

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 parts 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.

Discussion Paper – Thinking Outside the Cell

“My name is Philip Johnston.  I retired 10 years ago after a long career at one of the Four Pillar banks where I administered as ‘Agent bank’ several 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.

Femicide Australia Project research shows 108 adult men, 48 adult women and 17 children and young people were killed due to domestic violence in 2017.  The Australian Femicide Facebook page reports 63 women murdered thus far 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 and also 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 murder/s, 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 and Australia.

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; and

B.        emails me at scribepj@gmail.com that that they are prepared to expend at least –

*        two hours to read my paper 'Looking Outside the Cell'; and

*        will then email me or ‘phone me with their comments.”
