This paper is the first in a two-part series reviewing the current state of Indigenous programming in correctional settings. The focus is Australian, with a local Victorian emphasis, but literature from Indigenous sources in other countries such as New Zealand and Canada has also been included where relevant. This first paper is assessmentfocused. It begins by describing contextual factors that are relevant to Indigenous offender service provision, such as ethnocentrism and the ongoing consequences of colonisation. Several principles to improve program responsiveness to these influences are offered. A range of overlapping risk factors and needs for Indigenous offenders is then reviewed, underpinned by Ward and Stewart's (in press) model of human flourishing. These factors form the basis for culturally-relevant assessment of Indigenous offenders. The paper concludes with implications for intervention, or cultural healing. This sets the context for a second paper, which elaborates on promising culturally relevant interventions in correctional settings.
Sports sponsorship is perceived as important in developing relationships with key clients. However, few companies set relationship marketing objectives when sponsoring sports. This paper aims to examine whether sports sponsors are pursuing the right objectives. It concludes that a deeper understanding of the sponsor's relationship marketing objectives could heighten the sponsor's success, thereby reinforcing and sustaining their own relationship with the sponsoring organisation.
What are the nature and power of special effects that induce such strong reactions in cinema spectators, and is it possible to find an analog to this contemporary fascination in the visual culture of the Middle Ages? This article contends that spectators during the medieval period may have responded to fantastical, supernatural, phantasmagorical, miraculous, satanic, or spectacular images with a similar sense of awe and wonder as contemporary viewers of cinematic special effects. Proposing a reconsideration of the pre-history of cinematic special effects, the author suggests that the allure of cinematic special effects is broader than the historical experience of cinema, and that image-makers were exploiting the embodied modes of viewing offered by special effects far earlier than the invention of motion pictures.
