IMPORTANT for local

publication: There is no family name in Malay culture, hence the use of first name. If there is a

‘bin/binti’, include that as well.

(Nur Izura Udzir, n.d.) However, if international

publication, then place father’s name first.

For Chinese names with initial Anglo-Saxon names, e.g. David Tan Siew Beng, one could write,

“Tan, S. B.” or “Tan, D.”

Names

Rule of thumb: Surnames/Family names first, First names next BUT for chapters in edited books, author comes first.

•Alphabetical order

Last name first, and first initial next.

Author of article in newspaper

Help fight crime, the public urged

KUANTAN: The public and non-governmental organisations should play a more active role in fighting crime, MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy said.

By involving themselves in programmes such as Rakan Cop, it would help create a safer neighbourhood.

“We regret that another life was lost on Friday, possibly due to crime.

“The police are yet to ascertain whether she was a victim of a snatch thief.

“Nevertheless, all parties must take note of the situation and the increasing number of felony cases of late by involving themselves actively,” he said at an installation

ceremony of Pahang Chinese guilds here yesterday.

Reconsidering State Intervention in Domestic Violence Cases E v a n S t a r k

Department of Public Administration, Rutgers University, Newark, New Jersey, USA E-mail: eds203@juno.com

…The most radical proposal, that domestic violence be decriminalised and returned to community-based counselling and mediation for solution, comes from Linda Mills, a

professor of law and social work at New York University (Mills, 1996, 1998a, 1998b,1999, 2003). In an influential article in the Harvard Law Review, Mills (1998) argued that state mandates for action in domestic violence cases

‘visit upon these victims an entirely distinct violent interaction’ (which she calls ‘emotional violence’) that deprives them of independence through a pattern akin to battering, ‘killing them’, albeit ‘softly’. Elsewhere, she (1996, 1998a, 1998b, 1999, 2000) extends her critique of criminalisation to the

(p. 149)

‘mainstream feminists’ she believes are responsible for this policy. In Insult to Injury (2003), she goes further, contending that the harms caused by mandated justice interventions are examples of ‘violence’ against victims by mainstream feminists who use the state as a proxy to exert power over women because they have not processed the violence in their own lives….
