Understanding Australian policies on public health using social and political science theories: reflections from an Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia Workshop
Publisher: Oxford University Press (OUP)
Date: 19-04-2018
Abstract: There is strong, and growing, evidence documenting health inequities across the world. However, most governments do not prioritize policies to encourage action on the social determinants of health and health equity. Furthermore, despite evidence concerning the benefits of joined-up, intersectoral policy to promote health and health equity, it is rare for such policy approaches to be applied systematically. To examine the usefulness of political and social science theory in understanding the reasons for this disjuncture between evidence and practice, researchers and public servants gathered in Adelaide for an Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia (ASSA) Workshop. This paper draws together the learnings that emerged from the Workshop, including key messages about the usefulness of various theories as well as insights drawn from policy practice. Discussions during the Workshop highlighted that applying multiple theories is particularly helpful in directing attention to, and understanding, the influence of all stages of the policy process from the construction and framing of policy problems, to the implementation of policy and evaluation of outcomes, including those outcomes that may be unintended. In addition, the Workshop emphasized the value of collaborations among public health researchers, political and social scientists and public servants to open up critical discussion about the intersections between theory, research evidence and practice. Such critique is vital to render visible the processes through which particular sources of knowledge may be privileged over others and to examine how political and bureaucratic environments shape policy proposals and implementation action.

Stealing from the boss: who is looking?

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to discover organisational governance lessons that emerge from the unique facts and characteristics of one significant corporate fraud in Australia. Data were triangulated between a primary loss adjustment file with multiple commercial and legal secondary sources. The data were analysed and conclusions were inductively drawn as part of a master’s degree research project. White-collar crime takes many forms but it is rare for a medium-sized ASX listed company to be defrauded of Aus$22 m without anybody noticing. Narrative findings reveal the dynamics of the fraud and the weaknesses in corporate governance. This paper outlines the processes of detection and control. It provides several lessons for organisational governance that could prevent similar occupational frauds in the future. This unique fraud case has facts which are not necessarily typical of fraud in general. Anonymity in the case seeks to preserve the identities of the parties, but may in fact limit the potential for transparent discussion. While detecting and investigating occupational fraud has benefits for practitioners and commentators, there are extensive direct and indirect social costs associated with this case. The value of this case lies in revealing details of how a significant fraud was perpetrated so that fraud investigators, accountancy professionals, academics and students can benefit from lessons learned.

DOI: 10.5694/J.1326-5377.1976.TB140947.X
Abstract: In a satellite city in South Australia, 17 miles from Adelaide, a controlled experiment in which a social worker from a local community agency has been placed in a four-man practice is demonstrating one way in which new forms of professional coordination can evolve out of already existing services. Through daily face-to-face contact, doctors, and social worker, as well as other surgery staff members, are learning ways of cooperating in unravelling the many mixed medical and psychosocial problems that present in a general practice setting. There are indications that community response to the innovation is positive because the doctors develop an assurance in making referrals, and people see the service as an extension of a known service in an already familiar setting.

Political Issues in Research and Evaluation
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 08-1979
DOI: 10.1177/0193841X7900300308
Abstract: This paper has two connected themes. First, it discusses the relationship between the concepts "research" and "evaluation" and suggests that if one is interested in social change, "evaluation" is less useful an activity than "research." Second, it describes the situation in Australia when a new, social change oriented government came to power, and in order to achieve its social development goals embarked on a number of experimental programs, one of which the author "evaluated." The paper discusses the conduct and findings of the study, and in weaving together the two themes concludes that evaluation and research have very different conceptual, intellectual, ethical, operational, and political ramifications.

Influence of Industry in Higher Education: A Survey of Viewpoints
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 10-1975
DOI: 10.1177/000494417501900305
Abstract: It is often claimed that our tertiary educational institutions are subservient to industry and that their autonomy is severely limited. To discover the level and nature of influence that exists, or is seen to exist in one area of professional education (engineering education), surveys were carried out with employers, rank and file engineers, as well as academics in a university and a college of advanced education. Interests of industry are seen to be accommodated more in a C.A.E. than in a university, though non-academic engineers believe they are not being given a hearing in the educational bodies. The channels for the exertion of influence are mostly informal channels and the process is often not perceived by the actors as involving the exercise or exertion of influence.

DOI: 10.1108/EB009731
Abstract: It is generally held that the educational programmes of any higher educational institution, i.e. what is taught and how it is taught, are determined by those in the educational institutions. In this paper the notion of autonomy is examined and a distinction is made between “subjective” and “objective” notions of academic freedom. A s le of academics in professional schools in a university and a college of advanced education was interviewed and their perceptions of their autonomy are discussed.

Public policy: core business and by-products
Publisher: Bristol University Press
Date: 11-2200
DOI: 10.1332/174426407782516475
Abstract: This paper explores the interesting phenomenon of unintended consequences in policy making: that benefits may accrue in one domain of policy making as the result of actions in another with very different interests and priorities. For ex le, a key randomised controlled trial of a nurse home visiting programme for young mothers identified significant long term crime reduction benefits among their children. Policy makers, in Australia and elsewhere, are currently not well equipped to recognise or capitalise on these by-products of policy making, and the author offers some suggestions for improving matters.

Publisher: Oxford University Press (OUP)

DOI: 10.1016/J.POLSOC.2015.04.001
Abstract: Corruption demoralises government and weakens the whole endeavour of policy formulation and its implementation. It diminishes services and causes fiscal stress, but most of all it undermines trust and corrodes legitimate community expectations. Corruption takes many forms and is found in many contexts. This paper develops a framework for the analysis of corruption which identifies types, activities, sectors and places (TASP). With the TASP framework identified or suspected corruption in any setting can be analysed as a precursor to the controls and processes that are most appropriate for the control and modification of corrupt behaviour, which ideally can enhance public sector performance. The TASP framework assists in pinpointing the nature, location and context of public sector corruption, and illustrates more precisely where the risks of corrupt activity might arise. This paper demonstrates, with empirical work from New York City and the State of Victoria in Australia (Australia's second most populous state), that more precise classification and characterisation of the nature and types of corrupt activity is an essential precondition to the development and design of targeted anti-corruption measures.
Corruption and control: a corruption reduction approach
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 05-10-2012
DOI: 10.1108/13590791211266377
Abstract: Corruption is a significant financial crime which is estimated by the World Economic Forum to cost about 5 per cent of global GDP or $2.6 trillion dollars. Explanations of corruption, like explanations of crime, tend to focus on the in iduals who commit corruption and the wider conditions which give rise to corrupt behaviour. Approaches designed to reduce corruption usually propose stiffer sanctions, institutional reforms and the passing of new laws. The purpose of this paper is to outline a complementary perspective with which to consider corruption. Grounded in situational crime prevention and related criminological theory, the paper argues that opportunities in the immediate environment play a causal role in generating corruption. It proposes that corruption can be minimised by removing or reducing opportunities which are conducive to corrupt behaviour. In total, five cases are chosen as illustrative ex les of how situational crime prevention might usefully be applied to corruption, focussing on the Type, Activities, Sectors and Places (TASP) that comprise corruption events. A framework is developed for the empirical study of corruption in local settings. The paper explores how situational crime prevention can usefully inform the analysis and prevention of corruption.

Preventing malfeasance in low corruption environments: twenty public administration responses
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 02-01-2018
Abstract: Corruption undermines good governance. Strategies for preventing malfeasance in low-corruption environments require a different approach to that applied in high-corruption environments. This paper aims to ask if criminological theories and practice contribute to the study and prevention of corruption in public organizations? Do crime prevention techniques help us in preventing corruption? Empirical data demonstrate that the overwhelming majority of public officials in rich countries demonstrate high levels of integrity yet, significant sums are invested in anti-corruption agencies and prevention strategies. This paper reports on recent work with an anti-corruption agency, which forced us to re-think how to deliver an anti-corruption agenda in a low-corruption environment. The authors build on their research of public sector corruption in rich countries to develop a set of 20 situational corruption prevention measures for public administrators. The result, with lessons from crime prevention, is a prevention tool to support continued good governance in low-corruption environments. Figure 1 is a template that readers can apply in their own environments. Figure 2 is the authors’ attempt to populate this template based on the research reported here. The matrix of situational corruption prevention techniques provides two original approaches. First, it recasts the language of crime prevention into a non-confrontational approach to avoid alienating honest public officials. Second, the matrix incorporates common public sector functions to guide the development of context specific corruption prevention techniques.

Mapping corruption in procurement
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 07-01-2019
Abstract: This paper aims to focus on understanding and preventing corruption in procurement in public sector settings. Just as not all corruption is the same, not all procurement is the same. One purpose is to analyze different types of procurements: standard, customized, intangible and complex. Corruption in procurement undermines public administration, and the purpose of this paper is to identify different types of procurements and provide readers with a framework for analysis and subsequent intervention. In all, 42 actual cases of public sector corruption in procurement are examined, and from these, an analytical matrix is developed. These cases are derived from the reports of the New South Wales (Australia) Independent Commission against Corruption. These cases represent all of the procurement cases that the ICAC has taken to a formal hearing in its 30 years of existence. While fraud is a major feature of corruption in procurement, there are significant organizational facilitators, and a number of slippage points in organizations are identified. These include peer culture, lack of due process, temptation and managerial incompetence/willful disregard, and these are built into a matrix which can be used in different countries or settings by readers wishing to understand and prevent different types of corruption in procurement in their agencies. This paper uses cases that have not previously been aggregated or analyzed and provides analytical tools for practitioners and academics.
