Throughout the 1990s many countries around the world experienced
the beginnings of what would later become the most significant and
protracted decline in crime ever recorded. Although not a universal
experience, the so-called international crime-drop was an
unpredicted and unprecedented event which now offers fertile ground
for reflection on many of criminology's key theories and debates.
Through the lens of developmental and life-course criminology, this
Element compares the criminal offending trajectories of two
Australian birth cohorts born ten years apart in 1984 and 1994. It
finds that the crime-drop was unlikely the result of any
significant change in the prevalence or persistence of early-onset
and chronic offending, but the disproportionate disappearance of
their low-rate, adolescent-onset peers. Despite decades of research
that has prioritized interventions for at-risk chronic offenders,
it seems our greatest global crime prevention achievement to date
was in reducing the prevalence of criminal offending in the general
population.

An inspiring and compelling collection of questions and answers are
posed to Omni, a non-physcial group entity channeled through John
Payne. Omni is primarily concerned with communicating the four
principals of creation which form the core of his teachings, all
centering around the idea that the creative aspect of the universe
is a natural part of our being. The Omni material offers candid,
uplifting and inspiring answers to questions about abortion,
sexuality, suicide, money, health, personal development and
decision-making. The all encompassing message that Omni relates is
that all is okay with humanity--we are evolving without
encountering the prophesied disasters--and will continue to be okay
as we gently unfold our potential. John Payne is a gifted and
internationally known trance channel and metaphysical teacher who
studied Light Body with Sanaya Roman some years ago. He now travels
the globe offering workshops and lecturing in Germany, the U.S.,
South Africa, Scandinavia, Croatia and the Netherlands. Payne is
well-known on the internet, having a prominent position on
Spiritweb, the web's largest new age site. He has also written
articles for several U.S. based metaphysical journals, such as the
Sedona Journal of Emergence, Horizons, and the Auroran, and is a
regular contributor to Namaste Magazine in South Africa.
