Crime and penal policy in the socialist African Republic of Tanzania
Article Abstract:
The socialist African Republic of Tanzania is unique in its use of an African socialism called 'ujamaa,' meaning economic sufficiency and self-reliance. The country instituted flogging as a punishment for theft, fraud, smuggling and profiteering in 1963. The ineffectiveness of flogging as a deterrent for these economic offenses can be attributed to the country's deteriorating economy. The emerging African countries face the challenge of distributing the gains of socioeconomic development equitably. Failure to do so will bring an increase in crime and lessen the stability of already fragile governments.

Urgent call for PTO improvements
Article Abstract:
A study undertaken by Silsoe Research Institute for the Health and Safety Executive shows that almost 80% of PTO (power take-off) tractor shaft guards are inadequate. A PTO is used to transfer power from the tractor to another piece of machinery attached to it. In between 1986 and 1991, 13 people died and 30 seriously injured. The study suggests: the resistant mechanism test load should be increased by a factor of 3; improved access to the shaft universal joint bearings to allow maintenance and clearance standards should be taken into account for the back end of the tractor.
