One would find it hard to disagree with the editor of the first issue of the Journal of Educational Affairs, published by the Students' Representative Council of our University. It would be a fair observation, I think, to say that the University is approaching an increasing awareness of its social mission as reservoir and vehicle of research. 1976-01-01T00:00:00Z Factors associated with juvenile delinquency Azzopardi, Tonio /library/oar/handle/123456789/62374 2020-10-25T06:24:42Z 1976-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Factors associated with juvenile delinquency Authors: Azzopardi, Tonio Abstract: It is a known fact that all over the world juvenile delinquency is on the increase. It is a scourge of which society has been forced to become aware by bitter experience. The threat which it presents to each and every member of society should serve to remind us of the importance of criminological research which is being carried out in this field. The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe has expressed the wish that the European Committee on Crime Problems should continue its work in the field of juvenile delinquency. Today society is producing young people who emerge into adulthood better educated and more capable of standing on their own two feet than ever before. In this article I shall deal mainly with the casualties of the so dal system, but we must not forget its successes. 1976-01-01T00:00:00Z The American Constitution : democratic 'checks and balances' Bencini, Austin G. /library/oar/handle/123456789/62373 2020-10-25T06:33:06Z 1976-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: The American Constitution : democratic 'checks and balances' Authors: Bencini, Austin G. Abstract: In July 1976, the United States of America will be celebrating the bicentenary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and, naturally, a whole nation will be nostalgically reviewing the many landmarks which colour and give meaning to the two hundred years of United States history. As usually happens on such occasions, special attention will be devoted co the very origins of the United States and, no doubt, also to the day when the thirteen rebellious former British colonial settlements took the plunge and decided to draft a constitution that would unite this nation, still in its early stages of existence, as well as to its eventual development into the really democratic and, at the same time, practical instrument of government which America has today. 1976-01-01T00:00:00Z
