This week in The Beat,<\/em>\u00a0alarming rates of corporate corruption in Australia, the UN Crime Congress in Doha, and the Boston bomber\u2019s guilty verdict. And this week in CT Scan, terrorism cheat sheets, Saddam\u2019s ties to Islamic State, and jihadi playtime.<\/p>\n

Deloitte Corruption Report<\/strong><\/p>\n

Business advisory firm Deloitte have released their Bribery and Corruption Survey 2015 Australia & New Zealand<\/em><\/a>, examining corruption in the Australasian private sector. About 23% of the 250 Australian and NZ organisations surveyed reported one or more instances of domestic corruption in their organisation over the last five years.<\/p>\n

This highlights the need for a federal anti-corruption body to maintain the integrity of Australia\u2019s private sector so we remain an attractive destination for international investment. Controversies aside<\/a>, NSW\u2019s ICAC<\/a> is a good model.<\/p>\n

UN crime congress <\/strong><\/p>\n

The United Nations\u2019 13th Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice has wrapped up in Qatar. The Congress resulted in adoption of the Doha Document<\/a>, calling on delegates to implement specific initiatives that covered comprehensive and inclusive national crime prevention and criminal justice policies and programs; gender and youth-related concerns in criminal justice efforts; corruption and transparency in public administration<\/a>; and the growing threat of cybercrime.<\/p>\n

Boston marathon bombing: a new take on justice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two years after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, Dzokhar Tsarnaev has been found guilty<\/a> of all charges laid against him. Attention now turns to sentencing, with the death penalty remaining on the table<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Noah Feldman discusses the notion of whether families of victims should have some input in determining the sentence<\/a> for such crimes, which raises interesting questions about the application of the justice system. Whilst victim impact statements and monetary compensation for victims are commonplace, it isn\u2019t easy to determine whether the harms caused from crimes like murder or terrorism is public or private.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, survivor Rebekah Gregory managed to cross the finish line of the 2015 course<\/a> with her prosthetic leg, demonstrating resilience at its best.<\/p>\n

Your quick guide to terrorism<\/strong><\/p>\n

Need some quick guides? The International Centre for Counter-Terrorism has released a cheat sheet on foreign fighters, \u2018A Quick Overview for People with Little Time\u2019<\/a>, while\u00a0The Soufan Group published an overview<\/a> of key terror trends.<\/p>\n

Islamic State: the state of terror <\/strong><\/p>\n

Leaked files have shown a former spy for Saddam Hussein penned the ‘blueprint’<\/a> that paved the way for the rise of Islamic State. Previously, only scattered sources provided information about the group. Details of the structure of Islamic State\u2019s leadership, the part that Saddam Hussein\u2019s officials played in its formation and how the group managed to take over Syrian land are available for the first time.<\/p>\n

Add Jessica Stern and J.M. Berger\u2019s new book, ISIS: The State of Terror<\/a>,<\/em> to your reading list. Stern and Berger utilise both classified and open sources to explain Islamic State\u2019s history, strategies and impact. See here<\/a> for a review and here<\/a> for an interview with Berger, courtesy of War on the Rocks <\/em>(56 mins).<\/p>\n

ANU Research Fellow Haroro Ingram thinks<\/a> that the Western media\u2019s focus on Islamic State has inadvertently strengthened the organisation\u2019s control of the Syrian conflict\u2019s narrative, drowning out the voices of Syrian FM radio channels.<\/p>\n

On a lighter note, Foreign Policy<\/em> ran a story about three Palestinians who created a spoof video<\/a>\u00a0mocking the group that garnered over 2 million hits. In the video, the lives of prisoners hinged on whether they could\u00a0correctly name the colours of that infamous dress<\/a>. \u2018I swear it\u2019s blue and black\u2019, protests one captive before he\u2019s dragged off for\u00a0beheading.<\/p>\n

What do jihadis do in their spare time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Terrorism expert Thomas Hegghammer argues that studying jihadi\u2019s non-military activities<\/a> could \u2018shed important new light on how extremists think and behave\u2019.<\/p>\n

According to Hegghammer, there\u2019s more to military life than fighting, and jihadi groups often have practices that are strangely \u2018soft\u2019 (including poetry recitals, talks about dreams, ritualistic weeping)\u2014practices that help inform our understanding of \u2018jihadi culture\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
