Dear EATAW Colleagues,
I'm working on an article on the "securitisation" of plagiarism. Securitisation is a concept from security studies where certain actors or groups talk us into believing that a particular phenomenon is such a threat to our existence that extraordinary, normally unacceptable, measures have to be taken to combat it.
I'm looking for a widely cited article (non-academic, I think) which put the number of students who have plagiarised during their studies at about 70%. If anyone has heard of this article and can give me a link, I'd really appreciate it. Of course any other links to articles in the press suggesting plagiarism is a grave threat to the existence of the education system, the more paranoid the better, are also gratefully received.
Thanks in advance,
John
