Reflection on reforms: developing criminal accountability for industrial deaths
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Providing Context: The criminal law has numerous aims, often cited in introductory textbooks to include promoting justice, providing norms to reduce unacceptable social behaviour, achieving deterrence or preventing crime, promoting rehabilitation for the law breaker, providing retribution against the law breaker, expressing moral concern at social harms (denunciation) and enabling appropriate levels of accountability. The criminal justice system is seen as a system providing meaning, achieving goals, and having a purpose rooted within the very foundations of all social and legal systems and ways of life. This paper deals with the application of the criminal law to death as a result of industrial activity (industrial deaths are taken here to refer to traumatic and sudden workplace deaths and deaths in public disasters). It discusses organisational accountability for industrial deaths through examining reform processes in three countries: Australia, Canada and England and Wales.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
