Basic Characteristics

Neighborhood Watch is one of the most popular community crime prevention programs in the United States. This article focuses on the typical Neighborhood Watch model—the model that has been accepted and implemented in hundreds of communities across the nation. Drawing on information from a national study of the “state of the art” in Neighborhood Watch, which was conducted in the mid-1980s, this article describes the basic characteristics of Neighborhood Watch programs. Then the possibilities of Neighborhood Watch achieving substantial reductions in crime and a rebirth of community spirit in American neighborhoods are discussed critically. Finally, some more limited, but often overlooked, benefits of Neighborhood Watch are noted.

Design And Manufacture

United States seapower in the 70’s is synonymous with a new class of destroyers developed to maintain America’s strength on the world’s seas. When the DD963 joins the fleet in 1974, she will be unlike any destroyer ever to fly the United States flag. She will be bigger, faster, and more sophisticated. As a vital part of the main propulsion plant of this ship, controllable pitch propellers were used in conjunction with marine gas turbines. This paper addresses the description and operation of the CP propellers, and various improvements in the “state of the art” of propeller design and manufacture which have been incorporated in the ship.

Undocumented Immigration

This paper focuses on three aspects of the undocumented immigration from Mexico to the United States. First is presented, a statement on the state of the art regarding the empirical research on this phenomenon; second is, a review of what we know on some of the characteristics of this migration and the presentation of preliminary findings of a survey conducted by the author in nine Mexican border cities, based on interviews with Mexican undocumented emigrants recently deported from the United States; and third is, a discussion on past attempts to solve the problems and some suggestions on how it might be solved.

The Third

This paper provides an overview of the state of the art in consultation at the close of the third decade of its existence as a major form of delivering mental health services in the United States of America, and its somewhat later introduction in Victoria, Australia. Gallessich’s framework for consultation (1983, 1985), amongst others, is compared with the Victorian model. Issues raised include the need for consultants to understand the boundaries of consultation, its limitations, the state of its knowledge base and the uniquely Victorian contribution of a framework of several levels which enables an integration of the knowledge borrowed from a range of sources to assist in the improvement of its practice. A later paper to be published in ‘Children Australia’ looks at the steps in the consultation process.
