Some Reflections on Reported Crime Rates in the Chinese and Vietnamese Communities in Australia
Wing Hong Chui,Peter White 아시아경찰학회 2006 Asia Pacific Journal of Police & Criminal Justice Vol.4 No.1
The primary aim of this paper is to provide an overview of some literature and research on crime in the Chinese and Vietnamese communities in Australia. This paper intends to challenge one of the common?held perceptions within the greater Australian community that Asian communities in general have a higher than average crime rate. It will explain why there are generally lower crime rates in the Chinese and Vietnamese communities with reference to some possible cultural factors such as close family ties and the dominant Confucianism. Finally, this paper argues that data on ethnicity and crime in Australia should have been made available to examine the potential of having differential crime rates across different ethnic communities. These data can be made available as part of a national crime mapping project and will inform on how police resources can be directed to the areas and communities with the greatest need.

Background: The occurrence of Graves’ disease and Hashimoto thyroiditis after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) raised concerns that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may trigger thyroid autoimmunity. We aimed to address the current uncertainties regarding incident thyroid dysfunction and autoimmunity among COVID-19 survivors. Methods: We included consecutive adult COVID-19 patients without known thyroid disorders, who were admitted to Queen Mary Hospital from July 21 to September 21, 2020 and had serum levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine (fT3), and anti-thyroid antibodies measured both on admission and at 3 months. Results: In total, 122 patients were included. Among 20 patients with abnormal thyroid function tests (TFTs) on admission (mostly low fT3), 15 recovered. Among 102 patients with initial normal TFTs, two had new-onset abnormalities that could represent different phases of thyroiditis. Among 104 patients whose anti-thyroid antibody titers were reassessed, we observed increases in anti-thyroid peroxidase (TPO) (P<0.001) and anti-thyroglobulin (P<0.001), but not anti-thyroid stimulating hormone receptor titers (P=0.486). Of 82 patients with negative anti-TPO findings at baseline, 16 had a significant interval increase in anti-TPO titer by >12 U, and four became anti-TPO-positive. Worse baseline clinical severity (P=0.018), elevated C-reactive protein during hospitalization (P=0.033), and higher baseline anti-TPO titer (P=0.005) were associated with a significant increase in anti-TPO titer. Conclusion: Most patients with thyroid dysfunction on admission recovered during convalescence. Abnormal TFTs suggestive of thyroiditis occurred during convalescence, but infrequently. Importantly, our novel observation of an increase in anti-thyroid antibody titers post-COVID-19 warrants further follow-up for incident thyroid dysfunction among COVID-19 survivors.
From Fixed to Float: A Competing Risks Analysis
Terence Tai-Leung Chong,Qing He,Wing Hong Chan 한국국제경제학회 2016 International Economic Journal Vol.30 No.4
This paper examines the determinants of the exchange rate regime of a country. A competing risks model is estimated. It is found that the way a country exits a fixed exchange rate regime is affected non-linearly by the duration of the peg. In addition, countries with a lower growth rate of reserves, higher occurrence of banking crises, higher concentration of trade and lower degree of capital-account liberalisation are more likely to experience a crisis-driven exit.
