Crime in Papua New Guinea

Abstract

This volume suggests that a serious crime problem is already developing in Papua New Guinea, but papers within outline positive and practical suggestions for the reduction of crime and delinquency.

This publication largely comprises the edited papers presented at a seminar held at the University of Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby, from 7 to 11 July 1975 under the title 'Crime prevention in developing areas'. The seminar was conducted by the Australian Institute of Criminology in conjunction with the Department of Law of Papua New Guinea.
