The Business of Diabetes
Work Flow Analysis: Applying Sutton’s Law in the Diabetes Care Workplace
Richard J. Koubek,
Craig M. Harvey,
Steven B. Leichter,


One of the classic "laws" of medical training is Sutton’s Law. This colloquial maxim was named incorrectly after the bank robber Willie Sutton, who was alleged to have said that he robbed banks "because that’s where the money is." (Actually, it was Clyde Barrow who made this remark.) In medicine, it encourages health professionals to investigate the most likely causes of presenting symptoms and clinical problems by searching "where the money is"—where the most likely sources of pathology may be found.
Sutton’s Law has at least as much applicability today in the business management of diabetes care as it does in clinical practice. Maximizing financial stability in the provision of diabetes care is important in the maintenance of provider organizations. We have to "go where the money is" to maximize the yield.

Das mit Clyde Barrow wollen wir mal dahin gestellt lassen (vgl. andere Quellen), aber bei allen anderen Problemen, Humor haben sie bei der us-amerikanischen Diabetervereinigung ...

Psychological observations of bank robbery

DA Johnston

Bank robbery has been only partially examined in the psychiatric literature. It has been publicly considered an act of men of strong will to obtain money. According to the author's observations in a federal penitentiary, bank robbery more often is a symptomatic act with psychological meaning. The author describes several of the unconscious motives and defense aspects of bank robbery in the hope that this will assist in demythologizing the bank robber.

It was reported for the first time that a series of bank robberies were committed by an Asian gang group in a major southern city. The bank robberies showed a variety of operational methods. The purpose of this descriptive study is to apply the routine activities theory to explain the causal factors of the robberies. The analysis shows that the six Asian bank robberies resulted from a supply of motivated offenders, the availability of suitable targets, and a low level of capable guardians against crime. Findings suggest that crime-specific measures are an appropriate method for examining the merits of the routine activities theory.

The Tragedy of the Commons
Garrett Hardin
(The author is professor of biology, University of California, Santa Barbara. This article is based on a presidential address presented before the meeting of the Pacific Division of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Utah State University, Logan, 25 June 1968. )


The population problem has no technical solution; it requires a fundamental extension in morality.
(...)
If the word responsibility is to be used at all, I suggest that it be in the sense Charles Frankel uses it (20). "Responsibility," says this philosopher, "is the product of definite social arrangements." Notice that Frankel calls for social arrangements--not propaganda.

Mutual Coercion Mutually Agreed upon
The social arrangements that produce responsibility are arrangements that create coercion, of some sort. Consider bank-robbing. The man who takes money from a bank acts as if the bank were a commons. How do we prevent such action? Certainly not by trying to control his behavior solely by a verbal appeal to his sense of responsibility. Rather than rely on propaganda we follow Frankel's lead and insist that a bank is not a commons; we seek the definite social arrangements that will keep it from becoming a commons. That we thereby infringe on the freedom of would-be robbers we neither deny nor regret.

The morality of bank-robbing is particularly easy to understand because we accept complete prohibition of this activity. We are willing to say "Thou shalt not rob banks," without providing for exceptions. But temperance also can be created by coercion. Taxing is a good coercive device. To keep downtown shoppers temperate in their use of parking space we introduce parking meters for short periods, and traffic fines for longer ones. We need not actually forbid a citizen to park as long as he wants to; we need merely make it increasingly expensive for him to do so. Not prohibition, but carefully biased options are what we offer him. A Madison Avenue man might call this persuasion; I prefer the greater candor of the word coercion.

The Time to Rob: Variations in Time of Number of Commercial Robberies
Peter J. Van Koppen/Robert W. J. Jansen
Netherlands Institute for the Study of Criminality and Law Enforcement (NISCALE)

This article reports a study on daily, weekly, and seasonal variations of the number of commercial robberies perpetrated in The Netherlands during the period 1988 to 1994. Results show that daily and weekly peaks depend on the kind of premises targeted. These peaks are explained by robbers' expectations of the amount of money available at the robbery target. The number of robberies in winter are distinctly higher than in summer, explained by the increased number of dark hours during the day. The explanation of changes in the number of robberies during the day, the week, and the year is straightforward: availability of suitable targets and adequate guardianship. The study shows that there is no reason to seek more complicated and less elegant explanations for daily, weekly, and seasonal variations, like cash flow in commercial targets, the cost of living during the winter, bad weather, or changes in the unemployment rate.
