Somethin’ Doesn’t Seem Right: A Commentary on the “Scientific Method” and “Gang”Research
No full textIn this chapter, Adam Ellis and Anthony Gunter provide a critique [drawing on the first author’s direct experience as a student criminologist] of the social-“scientific” research methodologies that have been utilized by gang scholars for more than a century. During this period of history, largely privileged white Euoro-American academic ‘colonisers’ have created knowledge that has served to problematize, criminalize and ‘other’ indigenous, non-white and poor communities. Consequently, only one side of the story is/has ever been told; as such the chapter concludes by asserting the need for a new ‘criminology’, one which recognizes its privilege, and one which is open to transformation

Graeme Reade Anthony ('Bill') Ellis 1921-2011
No full textGraeme Reade Anthony Ellis (universally known as ‘Bill') was a pioneer in the area of low-frequency radio observations. By exploiting Hobart's geomagnetic latitude and the lack of background radio noise there, he was able to make major discoveries at these low frequencies (principally in the frequency range 1–10 MHz). Among the questions he pursued were the propagation/dispersion/reflection of radio waves in the ionosphere and the detection of radio emissions from the Sun, the galactic disk and Jupiter. He built innovative radio receivers and de-dispersers to gain information about the radio sources, for example about the Sun via aurorae and about the influence of Io on the Jovian emissions. It is thanks to Ellis' practical research investigations and clever experimental methods that radio astronomy at the University of Tasmania is today firmly established and internationally recognized
Hydraulic Model Study of the Blue River Dam Power Plant, Penstock, and Outlet Works
No full textThe Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation (S&W) contracted with
St. Anthony Falls Hydraulic Laboratory (SAFHL) to construct and test a
physical hydraulic model of a modified stilling basin for the Blue River Dam
Power Plant Project outlet works. This project was designed by Stone and
Webster for the Eugene Water and Electric Board. Modification to the
stilling basin was necessary to accommodate changes in the design of the
outlet structure necessitated by the installation of hydroelectric power
generating turbines. The basin is presently owned and operated as a flood
control structure by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE).
The facility is operated according to COE procedures within the general
constraints of a reservoir water surface level of maximum 1357 ft MSL and
minimum 1180 ft MSL, and between the minimum and maximum flows of 50
cis to 8400 cfs, respectively. Flow exiting the reservoir is controlled through
gates located at the upstream end of a 2000 it long 18.5 diameter conduit.
The downstream end of the conduit concludes in an open channel outfall into
the existing stilling basin. The design scheme for the hydro facility involved
modifying the outlet works to incorporate a multiple bay gated outlet
structure and a bifurcation leading to the powerhouse. Modifications included
pressurization of the penstock and outlet works necessitated by the combined
usage of the flow conduit for both hydropower and flood discharge.
The objective of the study was to perform comparative testing of the
existing outlet works stilling basin and the proposed design. In this effort,
the study evolved into five distinct phases of testing. The test results are
summarized according to phases with the reason for and objectives of the
next phase outlined in the conclusion of each existing phase. A summary of
the various phases is as follows:Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation; Eugene Water and Electric BoardVoigt, Richard L.; Erickson, Benjamin; Ellis, Christopher R.. (1994).

Wind Energy Feasibility and Energy Education Project Lower Sioux Community
No full textThe results of wind speed and direction measurements carried out in the Lower
Sioux Community during the twelve~month period from November 1, 1995, to October
31, 1996, are reported. The measurement were performed using six wind anemometers
and six wind direction vanes installed at four sites in the community. The data presented
include the monthly averages of the semi~hour1y wind speeds and of their cubes, monthly
wind roses, the probability distributions of the wind speeds and the parameters of Wei bull
distributions fitted to them, turbulence intensity data, and total energy roses for each
month.
The data are presented so as to streamline a comparison with wind energy data at
other area sites where comparable records may be available. Possible sites and
methodology for such a comparison and errors which may arise in a potential
extrapolation of the twelve-month record to longer time periods are discussed.Office of the Environment Lower Sioux CommunityFarell, Cesar; Ellis, Christopher R.. (1997).

The White Male Criminological Gaze as Pornography: The Quasi-Sexual Academic Obsession with Black “Gang Bangers”
No full textIn this chapter, Anthony Gunter examines race/racism and the problematic question of gangs. He provocatively compares the white male academic’s voyeuristic obsession with urban Black ‘gang bangers’ to that of consumers of pornography seeking cheap thrills and sexual gratification. However, when one takes into consideration colonialism, slavery and 500 year history of the criminalization and violent oppression of Black bodies – and the role of the Euro-American academy – it is glaringly obvious that white males’ [not only scholars but also law enforcement, politicians, and journalists], quasi-sexual obsession goes way beyond gangs, but right back to the slave ships and plantations of the New World

Crime as Disease Contagion and Control: The Public Health Perspective and Implications for Black and Other Ethnic Minority Communities
No full textIn this chapter, Anthony Gunter outlines how in response to England’s ‘violent crime epidemic’ there is now a great upsurge of media-driven political interest in this perspective – specifically, the Violence Reduction Unit of Police Scotland. He maintains that the public health approach fails to resolve fundamental questions about structural inequality, the criminalisation process and state racism. Moreover, instead of being a panacea, the chapter concludes by asserting that the crime as contagious virus perspective runs the risk of further stigmatising already problematised Black and minority communities
