Risky facilities: analysis of crime concentration in high-rise buildings
This paper investigates the security of high rise high density accommodation at the Gold Coast â a premier Australian holiday destination. Surfers Paradise has one of the highest population densities in Australia at 3,279 persons per square kilometre and over 70 percent of the residential population live in buildings classed as high density within a mix of tourist apartments and units. The paper explores how the levels of place management and guardianship relate to the volume and mix of crimes occurring in high-rise apartment buildings.

Foreword: Current town planning and housing policies suggest that in the very near future, housing density in major Australian cities will be much higher than current levels. To date, little attention has been paid to how these policy shifts will impact levels of crime and fear of crime. The aim of this research is to contribute to the development of strategic policy for the secure management of high-density housing. By analysing actual rates and types of crime, guardianship levels, building management styles and perceptions of fear of crime, the research will reveal how planning policies and high-rise building management styles can coalesce to create safer vertical communities. The research focuses on high-rise apartments and touristic buildings on the Gold Coast (specifically Surfers Paradise) and identifies the disproportionate concentration of crimes among a handful of buildings. Results may help state and local governments in Australia to avoid repeating the housing policy mistakes experienced by other countries
Emotional earthquakes in the landscape of psychosis: : an interpretative phenomenology
This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of the following article: Jonathan Hutchins, John Rhodes, and Saskia Keville, 'Emotional earthquakes in the landscape of psychosis: an interpretative phenomenology', Vol. 9, e30, January 2016. The Version of Record is available online at DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/S1754470X16000167. COPYRIGHT: © British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies 2016. Published by Cambridge University Press.Traditionally studies have neglected emotion in psychosis, possibly as a consequence of psychiatryâs emphasis on psychotic symptoms rather than individualsâ lived experience of emotions before, during and after psychotic episodes. This study sought to investigate how individuals experienced their emotions and delusions in the context of psychosis. A qualitative Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) research methodology was used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposively sampled group of eight participants recruited from a local Early Intervention in Psychosis service. Four themes were generated by the analysis. The first highlighted emotional experiences prior to the onset of psychosis: âstruggling with life distressâ. The second highlighted the intense emotional experience within psychotic experiences: âtransformed world and intense emotionâ. The third theme highlighted self-critical tendencies in the post-onset phase of psychosis: âblame and guilt after the breakdownâ. The final theme highlighted a mixture of emotions in the post-onset phase: âconfusion, despair and hopeâ. There were many clinical implications highlighted in the study including the value of normalizing participantsâ emotional experiences in order to promote engagement in services and of assessing for self-criticism, despair and hope following the psychotic experience, alongside therapeutically addressing the varying levels of emotional experiences before, during and after a psychotic breakdown.Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio

Computing Curvature and Curvature Normals on Smooth Logically Cartesian Surface Meshes
This thesis describes a new approach to computing mean curvature and mean curvature normals on smooth logically Cartesian surface meshes. We begin by deriving a finite-volume formula for one-dimensional curves embedded in two- or three- dimensional space. We show the exact results on curves for specific cases as well as second-order convergence in numerical experiments. We extend this finite-volume formula to surfaces embedded in three-dimensional space. Exact results are again derived for special cases and second-order convergence is shown numerically for more general cases. We show that our formula for computing curvature is an improvement over using the âcotanâ formula on a triangulated quadrilateral mesh and is conceptually much simpler than the formula proposed by Liu et al. (âA discrete scheme of Laplace-Beltrami operator and its convergence over quadrilateral meshesâ, Computers and Mathematics with Applications, 2008), and is equivalent in performance
