Each of these may be further subdivided and the typology shown in Fig. 10.1 draws upon the classic work of Burton and Kates (1964) in separating geophysical from biological hazards and Zeigler et al. (1983) in distinguishing public (or what we might call societal) hazards from private (individual) ones.
As noted above, the simple division of hazards is between those which are natural and those which are technological or human-induced.
The further subdivision of natural hazards is self-explanatory as is that of individual technological hazards.

On the other hand, the independence of the Tariff Reform League was a positive advantage: after January 1913 the party supported the tariff policy but was not including them in its immediate programme, so that Central Office could continue to distribute tariff propaganda from the TRL without compromising party policy.
With open allies like the Primrose League, the case for collaboration was strong; for the first time in thirty years of existence the Primrose League formally linked itself with the party in 1914.
In general, efforts to ensure better coordination were a matter of the patient building up of contacts, although the improved party morale and the greater efficiency of Central Office had removed their justification for existence.

But the concern with overcoming political marginality remained on the sidelines of the main public debate because it questioned the perception of the rioters as driven by irrational, uncivilized, and criminal instincts.
Such a move towards greater political integration was seen by Lord Scarman as essential if the gap between inner-city residents and the forces of law and order was to be bridged.
This did not, however, stop the question of political marginality and the need to reform existing policies from being raised at all, as can be seen subsequently by the attempts after 1981 to introduce both locally and nationally measures which were meant to address some of the grievances of the rioters and to ensure that further disturbances did not occur.

Trace gases in the atmosphere are key components of the cycles of such elements as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur and the halogens; as is now well known, their concentrations are much influenced by biogenic and anthropogenic activities and the concentrations of such gases as carbon dioxide, ozone, methane, nitrous oxide and the chlorofluoromethanes (CFMs) strongly affect radiative transfer and provide a link with the physical climate system.

Of course it can never be known whether the right answer has been reached (unless somebody dredges up a ‘ living fossil ’ from the depths of the ocean) — there are only varying degrees of probability.
Ideally one could construct a model of the fossil to test out these various functions in experiments, but the number of examples where the analysis has been pursued this far are limited.
But the best answers are probably obtained where the functional design of the fossil points to the same life habits as a living analogue, and where both are consistent with the geological circumstances in which the fossil remains occur.

In short, they are seriously at risk of committing further offences and becoming trapped in the revolving door of custody.
The AEC is primarily intended for young adults subject to a probation order with a special condition of attendance (Schedule 11 4A(II) Criminal Justice Act 1982) and reflects the fact that most Somerset offenders in trouble through drink commit serious offences and/or possess a substantial number of previous convictions.
The development of the Somerset AEC both accords with and constitutes a practical example of the Home Office's recent guidance to sentencers:

Henry II's castle at Chinon, where the treasury of Anjou was situated, was the model for its generation, with its halls, upper chambers, tower, and curtain walling, set on a high point above a strategic crossing of the Loire.
The net effect was that, given dedication, princes — Louis VI, Geoffrey le Bel, Alphonse-Jourdain — could subdue rebellious castellans within their own demesnes, and could build castles of their own which were impregnable to all but lengthy and sustained attack.
It could be copied only either by those of nearly equal wealth or by those who could concentrate their resources chiefly on defence — princes, great bishops or, in the south especially, towns.

Responding to the Handsworth events Douglas Hurd was moved to argue forcibly that such events were senseless and reflected more on those who participated in them than on the society in which they took place: ‘ The sound which law abiding people in Handsworth heard on Monday night, the echoes of which I picked up on Tuesday, was not a cry for help but a cry for loot ’ (Financial Times, 13 September 1985).
The Chief Constable for the West Midlands, Geoffrey Dear, took this argument further by pointing out that the day before the riots a successful carnival had taken place, with the support of local community leaders.
