This article proposes a structural explanation for the occupational deviance dimension of white collar crime. The systemic model of social disorganization theory is used as a framework for understanding organizational conditions that produce high rates of occupational deviance. The model of workplace disorganization proposed here posits parallel mechanisms can be found in communities as well as organizations. Marginalized workplaces, employee turnover, and employee heterogeneity are antecedent factors that discourage employee network formation and collective action against deviance. By refocusing on organizational factors, we offer a broader understanding of occupational deviance, one that can predict and explain the workplace conditions under which counterproductive behaviors occur.

An inaugural lecture by Professor AG Davis on the role the University College farm played in the overall agriculture of the Federation of Rhodesia & Nyasaland. ; IN 1953 the Inaugural Board which was established to found the University College received from the government of the day a promise of a gift of 1,000 acres on a site yet to be selected for a College Teaching and Experimental Farm. The purpose of the Farm, like that of the Agricultural Department in the College, was to help to serve the agricultural interests of all three territories of the Federation. The College Council, which took over from the Inaugural Board, consulted Dr. Saunders for his experience and opinion on the subject. He was engaged on the task of creating a Faculty of Agriculture in the University of Natal. On his advice the Council appointed and waited upon the arrival of the Professor of Agriculture before choosing one of the available sites offered by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture. The most suitable site was a portion of the Archie Henderson Research Station previously known as the 'Great B', totalling 7,000 acres. The portion was 1,200 acres and its excision from the station was endorsed and encouraged by its professional staff. Indeed, the College was offered a choice of three sites on the station. The final arrangement received government approval and the transfer of the land to the College was made known in May 1956. During the three years since that date the young University College has become acquainted with the presence of agriculture in its midst.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Britain had eased its problem of crowded jails and surplus criminals by packing them into ships and sending them off to the American colonies to be sold as what amounted to slave labour. All this came to an end with the revolution of 1775 and the legal system was stuck with an ever-increasing army of desperate felons.As there was no national prison system, these felons were crammed on to derelict sailing ships, the hulks, and put to hard labour in appalling conditions, mainly along the rivers Thames and Medway. Their story has been largely ignored by generations of historians and here, for the first time, detailed accounts of their plight, along with the lives and careers of the quite extraordinary men who ruled over them, is examined. Duncan Campbell, for instance, was the ship's captain and plantation owner who first organised the hulk system, and Aaron Graham the magistrate who spied upon, and then defended, the leader of the Nore mutiny and employed William Bligh of the _Bounty_ mutiny to captain his ships.There are biographies of some of the colourful rogues, children and gentleman thieves who were crammed together and condemned to spend years in despair, starvation and degradation, often with their arms and legs manacled and subject to vicious punishments for minor infringements of the regulations.In theory, the hulks were simply holding pens until convicts could be shipped off to the new colonies in Australia, but many sentenced to be transported for terms of between seven years to life were destined to serve most of, if not all, their term onboard. Those that did make it to the other side of the world after a harrowing journey were seldom better off and their story is told in the final chapter

"The book gives an account of an essential part of Britain's troubled relationship with the rest of Europe after 1945, particularly considering the rivalry of France and Britain between 1945 and 2007. The record of Britain's relations with the rest of Europe, and in particular with France, from 1945 onwards was seen by the politicians and diplomats in charge of foreign policy very much in terms of a diplomatic battle. This is paradoxical given that European integration was supposedly aiming to create a European community. Although Britain has usually been seen as an at best half-hearted participant in European integration it nonetheless maintained its ambition to assume the leadership of Europe. This inevitably led to a confrontation with France which shared the same goal. This book begins by looking at the opposing ways in which these two ancient European rivals presented very different models for the sort of Europe they wished to see emerge. It goes on to consider the record of their rivalry between 1945 and 2007. After this Britain effectively gave up the battle for the political leadership of Europe. This, however, should not obscure the fact that it had succeeded in imposing much of its social and economic model on Europe. This volume will be of interest to both undergraduate students and general readers interested in Britain's position in Europe"--
