§1. One of the most extensive surveys of fathers has now shown that, far from the stereotype, most men would like to share childcare duties with their partners or wives.

§2. The survey made by the Equal Opportunities Commission shows a modern type of father: the New Dad. He takes part in day-to-day childcare and does not mind helping with the vacuuming and washing-up - if only when his partner asks him to. The EOC interviewed sixty-four fathers and their partners about their homeland work life. Most fathers agreed that it was important to 'be there' for their children for key events such as school sports day, their first appearance in the school play and for at least one meal a day. Many agreed that parenting classes would be a good way to give them more confidence around the home.

§3. Based on the survey results, four types of fathers were defined, from the traditional type of dad to the perfect New Dad, who is as much involved in taking care of the children as the mother. The survey found that the majority of men were somewhere between these two types.

§4. In the first category comes Enforcer Dad, the old-fashioned disciplinarian who does not see himself as involved in the day-to-day care of his children. He sees his responsibilities as setting clear limits for them and being a role model. Most fathers do not see this as their only role. The two biggest categories are Entertainer Dad and Useful Dad. Entertainer Dad is at his best keeping his children laughing while his partner gets on with household chores and arranging the children's school and extra activities. Useful Dad is willing to help out around the house, even though he expects the mother to be the 'team leader' in all things domestic.

§5. Finally, and probably every woman's dream, is Fully Involved Dad. He is equally engaged in running the home and the family, and sees the role of the father and the mother as practically identical. Fully Involved Dads adjust their work arrangements to their partners' professional duties. 'I do have definite childcare commitments,' said one father in this category. 'There are certain times or occasions where it is non-negotiable and I just leave the office on time.'

§6. Julie Mellor, chairwoman of the EOC, said that fathers were still not given enough flexibility at work and mothers would feel fully supported only if employers treated (and paid) both sexes equally. 'Mums and dads should be able to choose how they want to share the responsibilities of bringing up children and working outside the home,' she said. 'But until we have equal pay, decent childcare and more opportunities to work flexible hours, many fathers will continue to find it hard to be there for their children and many women will continue to be disadvantaged at work. This is not necessarily the best solution for parents, children or employers. Equality at work or home depends on both mums' and dads' family responsibilities being acknowledged,' Mellor said.

A36. Why would many fathers like to go to parenting classes?

To learn how to do day-to-day childcare. Because they want to attend important school events. So they can be more confident in dealing with domestic issues.

A37. How do Enforcer Dads view their role in childcare?

They don't see childcare as their responsibility. They teach their children discipline by setting an example for them. It's important for them to be involved in the day-to-day care of their children.

A38. How do Fully Involved Dads find time to share childcare responsibilities with their partners?

They run the home and the family, so their partners can focus on their professional duties. They fit their work commitments to their partner's arrangements. They often leave the office early.

A39. What does Julie Mellor think employers should do?

Employers should provide both parents with equal pay and flexible work­ing hours. They should allow parents to work from home so they can look after their children. They should pay women more because they are often disadvantaged in the workplace.

In recent years, there has been an explosion of property-related crimes in almost every country. Despite what the majority of people think, such crime is not committed by professional criminals, nor is it carefully planned. (A43) ... However, it is surprising how many people still fail to take sensible steps to protect their property and belongings.

In the case of preventing theft from the home, this can be easily done by installing alarms or fitting strong locks on all points of access to the house. (A44) ... Additionally, intruders are seldom keen to try their luck on buildings where there are signs of life. (A45)... This may be as simple as leaving a light or television on while you are out.

As most burglaries are committed by adolescents and young men living within two or three kilometres of the victim, they tend to have a good knowledge of the area and are constantly on the lookout for the telltale signs of empty premises. Amazingly, in three out of ten break-ins, the thief does not even have to use force to get in because the householder has left a door unlocked or a window open. (A46) ...

A very visible form of property crime is the writing and spray-painting which plagues many city walls. Graffiti has long been identified as one of the major causes of the fear of crime among many city residents. If it is widespread, it may even reduce tourism for similar reasons.

The vandals themselves, on the other hand, take great pleasure in graffiti because of the ill fame it may generate for them, and although some wall paintings display a great amount of talent on the part of the artist, more common are the unattractive tags, or 'signatures'. (A47) ... The offenders normally plan their strikes carefully and because it doesn't take them long to spray their messages, they are rarely apprehended by the police. (A48) ...

Despite the depressing statistics associated with property crime, greater cooperation between police, schools, businesses and the local community as a whole will help in the fight to reduce it.

Between five and ten per cent of family budgets is spent repairing deliberate damage. In fact, it is the work of opportunists and theoretically, therefore, should be easy to prevent. So the police often advise to try to give the impression that someone is at home. Burglars shy away from doors and windows which are properly secured as these can be difficult to open.

If opportunities like these did not exist, criminals would have a much harder time and many crimes would not be committed at all. Their acts resulted in the arrests of several burglars and vandals. As a result, they seldom have convictions or a police record. These are sprayed on as many places as possible and often refer to the gang or 'crew' to which the offender belongs.
