The β€˜ conversion ’ of the UK government has been briefly described earlier; it is manifested in their July 1989 commitment to spend Β£10m. on climate change research in 1989/90 and the confident request to them from the Advisory Board for the Research Councils (ABRC) for an extra Β£11m. in 1990 and Β£13m. in the two succeeding years for additional environmental research.
Such a commitment to the environment is, none the less, both welcome and necessary if resources are to be made available to tackle existing, let alone forthcoming, environmental problems.

The second debate took place on 26 November 1981, on the publication of the Scarman Report, and had as its theme: β€˜ Law and Order ’.
A subsequent debate on the same issue in March 1982 was also full of references to the experience of 1981, the impact of street violence, crime, decaying urban conditions, the breakdown of consent between the police and many local communities, and the spectre of β€˜ more violence to come ’ if changes in both policing tactics and social policy were not swiftly introduced (Hansard, vol. 20, 25 March 1982: cols. 1107–81).

The objections would be reduced if awareness of the risk of death was also required: in other words, if the test were the commission of a serious offence of violence plus recklessness as to death.
Presumably the justification is that D has already crossed a high moral/social threshold in choosing to commit such a serious offence, and should therefore be held liable for whatever consequences ensue, however unforeseeable they may be.
The effect of that test would be to pick out those reckless killings which occurred when D had already manifested substantial moral and legal culpability, and to classify them as murder.

A lot of the argument among the authorities on these animals is about the equivalence or otherwise of certain bones in dinosaurs and bird skeletons (and particularly the Jurassic bird Archaeopteryx); this makes for rather dry reading for the layman.
The pros and cons of this theory are the subject of much contentious debate by experts, but it would probably be correct to say that the greater number of specialists believe that at least the more bipedal of the dinosaurs, including small and large carnivores, were warm-blooded, active animals.

The reason for this is not difficult to find: the harm caused by many other crimes is remediable to a degree, whereas the harm caused by homicide is absolutely irremediable.
There is an argument that treason is a more serious offence, since it strikes at the very foundations of the State and its social organizations, but treason is so rare that it is surely permissible to treat homicide as the most serious form of crime.
Even in crimes of violence which leave some permanent physical disfigurement or psychological effects, the victim retains his or her life and, therefore, the possibility of further pleasures and achievements, whereas death is final.

After Handsworth part of the press response was to blame the riot on rivalry between West Indians and Asians, and even after the arguments were criticized by local residents; and community leaders, they were used to β€˜ explain ’' what happened.
The usage of β€˜ race ’ during the September-October 1985 period took on new meanings, which had little if anything to do with the impact of racism as such, since the emphasis was on the cultural characteristics of the minority communities themselves.
In addition, the question whether the cultures and values of the black communities, their family structures, and their political attitudes β€˜ bred violence ’ was constantly raised (van Dijk, 1988).

In England there has been a proposal that we should do away with all these distinctions, leaving a single offence of criminal homicide.
Many American jurisdictions have three degrees of murder β€” first- degree murder, requiring premeditation, and second- and third- degree murder, covering lesser shades of culpability.
That proposal, if implemented, would shift almost all the decision-making in homicide cases from the trial to the sentencing stage: the only issue of any consequence in most cases would be the sentence to be imposed, and all the distinctions now drawn at the stage of criminal liability would be reflected in the sentence alone.
