Harm minimisation

This is a qualitative collective case study that seeks to understand the phenomena of graffiti and its related subcultures. By employing Interpretivist techniques, the research attempts to raise questions about harm minimisation, zero tolerance and graffiti, as well as broaden the debate about these distinct policy approaches for local communities. The research setting encompasses the geographic area of the Knox municipality, situated in outer eastern Melbourne.

The research "Social and environmental reporting practices of the gambling industry: an Australian perspective" explores the corporate social and environmental disclosure (CSD) practices of Australian gambling companies to understand what information is reported in CSDs, and why. The first part of the study performs an analysis of the two gambling companies; annual reports (1995-2009) to investigate the changing trend of the CSDs.

Drought stress is considered a restricting factor for plant products; therefore many compounds were applied to minimise the harmful effects of stress. One type of these compounds that have antioxidative characteristics is brassinosteroids. In this experiment, when 4 fully expanded leaves of tomato plants appeared, 24-epibrassinolide (24-EBL) was sprayed onto the leaves at 0.01 and 1 μM concentrations for 3 days with a 1-day interval.

The harms to individuals, families, communities and Australian society as a whole from alcohol, tobacco and other drugs are well known. For example, the cost to Australian society of alcohol, tobacco and other drug misuse1 in the financial year 2004–05 was estimated at $56.1 billion, including costs to the health and hospitals system, lost workplace productivity, road accidents and crime. The overarching approach of harm minimisation, which has guided the National Drug Strategy since its inception in 1985, will continue through 2010–2015.

A harm minimisation approach does not condone harmful or illegal drug use. The most effective way to minimise harm from drugs is not to use them. The harm minimisation approach does recognise that where eliminating high-risk behaviours is not possible, it remains important to minimise the personal, social and economic costs associated with those behaviours. Harm minimisation encompasses a wide range of approaches, including abstinence-oriented strategies and initiatives for people who use drugs.

Our aim is to minimise the harm caused by flooding. This involves reducing the likelihood of flooding and reducing the impacts when flooding occurs. At the same time there are underlying pressures that are increasing risk, such as climate change, housing development or changes in land use. Sometimes we can affect these drivers, for example by influencing planning and land development. There are, however, other drivers that are beyond our direct influence, such as climate change impacts on the weather and sea level rise.

The Environment Agency plays a central role in managing flood risk from rivers and the sea. We have the strategic overview role for flood risk management from all causes of flooding, including rivers, the sea, groundwater, reservoirs and surface water. This report explains how we tackle the risk of flooding in England, looking mainly at flooding from rivers and the sea. Flooding is a part of nature. It is neither technically feasible nor economically affordable to prevent all properties from flooding.
