title: News coverage of sexual offending in New Zealand, 2003.

authors: Thakker, Jo

subjects: sex crimes

abstract: The objective of this study was to assess the extent and nature of newspaper coverage of sexual offending in New Zealand in 2003. All news stories relating to sexual offending published in three daily newspapers (The New Zealand Herald, The Press, and The Dominion) were coded on a range of variables including article type, topic and frame of article, any reference to treatment, sources quoted in the report, and the type of offence mentioned. Overall there were 377 articles relating to sexual offending in the three newspapers. Most articles were either descriptions of offences/court reports (31.6%) or were related to specific offences or offenders (35.3%), with few articles focusing on either treatment (3.2%) or education and prevention (2.4%). The most frequent source for the articles were police or legal representatives (N=220) with few articles drawing on the comments and opinions of either mental health specialists (N=56) or academics (N=12). Consistent with prior research on crime reporting, there were a disproportionate number of high profile cases covered in the news, with nine cases capturing 22% of the total news coverage on sex offending in New Zealand in 2003. Some implications of these findings for clinicians and academics are discussed.

title: The chemistry of Pseudocyphellaria impressa S. Lat. in New Zealand

authors: Wilkins, Alistair L.

abstract: As part of a detailed study of the nomenclature and taxonomy of the New Zealand
species of Pseudocyphellaria it has been noted that the chemistry of the P. impressa
(Hook & Taylor) Vainio aggregate, that is species with a markedly faveolate (honeycomb-
like) upper surface and a green algal phycobiont, is particularly complex.
The 45 lichen substances detected fall into four distinct groupings, here designated
as 'Codings'. The aim of this contribution is to investigate suitable methods for
revealing this chemical assemblage by t.l.c. and, as far as is currently possible, to
identify the range of substances. No conscious attempt is made to assign the four
chemical Codings to particular taxa or species groupings; the taxonomy of the
group will be discussed elsewhere. The four Codings proved to be remarkably
uniform and constant considering the range and number of substances involved;
such variation that occurred was only in the presence and concentration of accessory
substances.
Although this work only concerns New Zealand material, similar patterns occur
in related taxa of the group present in southern South America, south-east Australia
and Tasmania.
