 The Impact on Accidents of Random Breath Testing in New South Wales: 1982-1992
On the basis of Ross' research, Homel (1988) and others argued that a system of well publicised and intensively enforced random testing would be likely to prevent most of the decay in deterrent effects documented in the literature.
The analyses are consistent with Homel's (1988) model of deterrence, which emphasised the instability of deterrent effects and the need for ongoing high visibility enforcement which effectively manages psychological uncertainty so that perceived probabilities of apprehension are maintained at high levels.

 Lawlink NSW: Preventing Violence - Chapter 1 - Selected Bibliography - H pt 2
Homel suggests that against this backdrop of a three-way tug-of-war there is a systematic corruption of politicians and police charged with the responsibility of enforcing the licensing laws.
Homel emphasises that part of this research should be focused on what the authors refer to as ‘the organisational culture of liquor licensing commissions’ - small, but powerful agencies that have great influence on government policy but generally operate behind walls of bureaucratic secrecy.
Homel suggests that the history of policing in Australia has shown the police tendency toward regulatory capture and corruption so the regulatory responsibility should not lie with them.

 | Review | The History Teacher, 36.4 | The History Cooperative
Michael W. Homel is uniquely qualified to write this research guide to local government and politics, being a former city councilman and mayor of Ypsilanti, Michigan (1993–1995), a longtime history professor at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, and author of Down From Equality: Black Chicago and the Public Schools, 1920–1941 (University of Illinois Press, 1984).
Homel reminds his readers that it is not the big events of history that make a community what it is but the individuals, interest groups, organizations, and unions that fight for local jobs, equality, better zoning, parks, trash pickup and water that identify a community.
Homel's thesis is that the politics of dominant groups is seen in the racial and ethnic makeup of early police and fire departments, teamsters, city workers, and city council members.

 Books and Writing - 23/01/2005: Summer Season - David Homel
Ramona Koval: When he realises that his conversations, the telephone counselling of traumatised soldiers in that centre are being tapped, and that in fact it’s dangerous for his patients to report their distress, he decides that science is dead, or at least the science of studying the human mind.
David Homel: That’s a crucial moment because he realises that he, without knowing it, has been serving the state that he hates, he’s been serving the dictatorship that he hates, and even all of his dearly-acquired psychological knowledge and techniques have also been serving the dictatorship.
David Homel: The character’s father is a good Tito-ite—he believed, in the book, in what Tito was trying to do, which is that all the nationalities and all the national differences were going to be eliminated to create this state called Yugoslavia, and of course that worked for a while.

 Eye - Saints, paints and sinners - 04.15.99
Homel's heroine, Sabbitha, is one of those male-fantasy, easy earth-girls who inhabit so many recent books and films -- a slutty Botticelli rising barefoot, blond and beautiful from the nearest swamp to bestow raw "redemptive" sexual favors on the local menfolk.
Homel isn't bad with inanimate objects: "A decaying semicircle of cabins stood around a wide, charred spot on the ground like spectators at an accident.
In the end, Homel's notions of female power as almost exclusively sexual (did Joan of Arc sleep her way to the top?) are more "disturbing" than his adolescent insights into religion.

 Lawlink NSW: Preventing Violence - Chapter 1 part 3
While methods of preventing alcohol related crime at large ‘one-off’ or irregular public events have some relevance to the present discussion, the primary focus of this chapter is on the slightly different issue of the prevention of violence that may occur routinely in and around licensed venues.
Following Graham and Homel, a distinction is made between the physical and social environments.
The proportion of intoxicated patrons is a good predictor of levels of aggression, which suggests that strategies to reduce the levels of consumption by individual drinkers in these premises would, if effective, impact on the level of alcohol-related problems.
