And Control

The best way of preventing locust outbreaks is to control them at their source. After a description of those habits of the Red Locust that have a direct bearing on control, an account is given of some of the results of three years' experience of control of this species in an outbreak area. The methods used in Rukwa are described in detail, and attention is drawn to their relative efficacy, advantages and difficulties. A number of other methods are also referred to and their values discussed. Control methods are considered with special reference to conditions in Rukwa and other outbreak areas, and in relation to large scale campaigns against large outbreaks. Conclusions on the relative values of the various methods are summarised below. These values depend both on the habits of the locusts and on the ecological, economic and social conditions of a country in which a campaign is to be waged. It must not be assumed that conclusions about control methods reached with one locust or in one country necessarily apply to another locust or another country.

Notably deplorable phenomenological changes of homicides in Serbia at the beginning of 1990?s proceeded along with the dismantling of SFRJ, wars and unsuccessful starting of social transition: within the turbulent and almost extreme social context it had been generated an increase of all types of violence as well as crime in general. Restrictive social conditions economic deprivation, social disorganization and deregulation are apprehended as factors of facilitation of risks of violent abreactions in the form of expressive homicides and also of risks of instrumental violence under the high structural pressure toward illegal alternatives and weak formal crime control at the same time. The crises of external and internal security coincided amplifying one another and succeeded by economic declension, deregulation and revived cultural definitions that extended the ?legitimacy? of violence. The plenty of cycles of structural and behavioural violence were initiated during the 1990s in Serbia: a holistic approach to violence as one complex phenomenon that extends from ?invisible? violence to homicides is the strategy which should be considered as perspective one regarding both the exploration and prevention of homicides. Key words homicide, violence, expressive homicides, instrumental homicides, social transition, Serbia.
