Diversion in youth justice is a subject of enduring interest. It concerns the processes by which decisions are made about whether or not to prosecute young offenders, and this book explores the continuing debates and historical developments which shape these processes. The treatment of young offenders is a contentious subject, and this book provides a comprehensive review of out of court decision-making in the context of wider arguments about how we should deal with the crimes of the young. This book follows a broadly historical structure, exploring the development of ideas and approaches to agency decision-making at the point of prosecution. This leads to the identification of a number of distinctive 'models' of diversion, reflecting both specific periods of time and particular philosophies of intervention with young people in trouble with the law. Based on this classification, this book explores the implications for wider debates about childhood, crime and punishment and how these relate to theories of social control. This, in turn, leads to the conclusion that diversionary ideas and practices act as a kind of barometer for wider developments in the governance of youth. This is one of the very few books that focuses exclusively on diversion as a feature of youth justice, and it provides a range of original and contemporary insights into this subject area which remains of considerable interest in this field, both academically and in practice. The ideas outlined here will contribute to new thinking in youth criminology, as the discipline responds to a prolonged period of apparent liberalisation in the treatment of young offenders which has yet to be fully understood or properly theorised.

AbstractCanadian business schools have accomplished a great deal over the past dozen years. However, business schools in Canada face serious problems. Most severe is the shortage of qualified individuals to teach in our larger programs, to provide research leadership, and to give vitality and strength to doctoral programs. Canada needs "think tanks" interested in management issues, and strong doctoral programs are an essential component. Closer links with the business community are part of the solution. Such links are important for research, teaching and intellectual stimulus, as well as for the needed large increase in private financial support. Higher tuition must assist in providing the required resource base.RésuméLes écoles de gestion au Canada ont accompli énormément au cours des douze dernières années. Néanmoins nos écoles de gestion rencontrent de sérieuses difficultés. La plus sérieuse est la pénurie de personnes qualifiées pour enseigner dans les programmes principaux, pour prendre le leadership en matière de recherche et pour infuser une vigueur et une force aux programmes de doctorat. Le Canada a besoin de "think tanks" en gestion; ceux‐ci ne peuvent naître sans programmes de doctorat vigoureux. Des lìens plus étroits avec le monde des affaires constituent une solution partielle. De tels liens sont importants aux plans recherche, enseignement et stimulation intellectuelte et au plan du support financier accru que requièrent nos écoles de gestion. Desfrais de scolarité plus éleves doivent fournir les ressources minimales.
Abstract. Various tax measures are in use in efforts to control the level of land prices and to moderate changes in them. These are the site value, vacant land, increment value and transfer taxes. Analysis indicates that sufficiently heavy site value taxes can help stem the rise in land prices and that relatively heavy vacant land taxes can be used to encourage the development of certain urban land. Both instruments may bring forward the time of development. Both are perhaps the best tax tools for controlling speculation. Significant problems seem likely to attend the use of land value increment and transfer taxes applied at high rates. Non‐tax alternative or complementary measures are also analyzed.
