Crime in the changing Greek Society. Reflections on statistical data.
Crime is a complex phenomenon. Statistics related to crime in a given milieu reveal nothing in substance and they are not amenable to comparisons. For one thing they are classified differently in different countries. For another, statistics are related to processes that are the outcome of all the interrelated variables which operate in the given milieu. It is within the context of the transaction of these variables: cultural, social, economic, technological, psychological, and biological, that these statistics may become meaningful and may lead to valuable interpretations. In Greece, for instance, during the last ten years, crime has decreased. (In 1960, there were 82,649 convictions and in 1970 there were 72,393. The population, seven years of age and above, increased from 7,289,130 in 1960 to 7,796,850 in 1970. Moreover the number of recidivists for the same years increased only from 28,988 to 31,540.) And yet, from impressionistic observations one notices that violence has increased significantly. The modus operandi of the criminals as well as the motives that instigate criminal behavior have changed. Those changes are alarming. Crime statistics, although they present a picture of decrease in crime rate, do not help us to focus on the real problem and search for measures of prevention and control.
Compensation: problems with the concept of disability and the use of American Medical Association Guides.
The Western Australia Liberal Government made radical changes to the Workers Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 1981 (WA) in 1993. One of the significant changes was the greater application of the American Medical Association Guides to the assessment of permanent injury. In 1999 further amendments to the same legislation required the application of the Guides to workers who wished to proceed with common law claims for negligence against their employers. Recent cases have shown the difficult in reconciling the language of the law with commonly used medical terms. This article surveys the use of the American Medical Association Guides in compensation legislation in Australia with some specific comments on the Western Australian system. It makes some suggestions for reform of the Western Australian system.

Evidence-based decision making in action: Part 2--evaluating and applying the clinical evidence.
This is the second of a two-part series addressing the use of evidence-based decision making (EBDM) in the use of home bleaching. In Part 1, a case scenario demonstrated the skills involved in (1) structuring a clinical question and (2) conducting an online search using PubMed.1 Part 2 demonstrates the third and fourth steps in the EBDM process, i.e., (3) critical appraisal to assess the validity of a study and (4) applying that information to clinical decision making. This 4-step approach to EBDM recognizes that clinicians can never be completely current with all conditions, medications, materials, and products. Thus, EBDM provides a mechanism for addressing these gaps in knowledge in order to provide the best care possible.
