Abstract

AUST & NZ JOURNAL OF CRIMINOLOGY (March 1976) 9 (3-4) 3 The Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology aims to promote criminology and in that way to enrich civilization. The Society was inaugurated by a meeting of 47 people at Melbourne University on 24 October 1967. For some years before that a number of us had expressed the need for a regional society to provide sustaining fellowship to the few who then dared to call themselves criminologists, and for a learned journal to help prove the principles of criminology. From the outset the principal medium of the Society has been this Journal, produced under the editorship of Dr Allen Bartholomew. In addition, in 1970 the Society established the John Barry Memorial Fund, which Melbourne University agreed to administer for us.
