Extract

In October 1960 Jean Pinatel asked Australian members of the International Society of Criminology to set up a branch Society, and it looks as if the branch, together with a journal, could become a reality at last in 1968. We have certainly felt a need for the sustenance of congenial fellowship, but in this nation of twelve millions we have not yet had the numbers ready to risk calling themselves criminologists. Members of the Society, however, probably need not all see themselves as “criminologist- first-lawyer (psychologist, etc.(-second”, and fairly obviously the Society cannot be launched as an exclusive college of professional practitioners. Indeed there may never be a profession of criminologists : perhaps one will not be heard to call oneself a criminologist, and the title, like that of economist, will be reserved for popularly accepted spokesmen of national criminal policy.
