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.

Other work on assessment of costs and benefits of such data have been carried out for the French government by Professor Didier (1990).

Admittedly, the Model Penal Code does contain a list of circumstances which may amount to extreme indifference, which assists the courts and increases the predictability of verdicts in a way that Scots law does not, but the essence of both approaches is that there is no precise way of describing those non-intentional killings which are as heinous as intentional killings.
Both the Model Penal Code test and the Scots test may be reduced to circularity, however, for when one asks how extreme or how wicked the recklessness should be, the only possible answer is: β€˜ wicked or extreme enough to justify the stigma of a murder conviction ’.
Their protagonists argue that the law of murder is so important socially that derogation from the principle of maximum certainty should be allowed in favour of more accurate labelling by the courts; opponents argue that the principle of maximum certainty is needed here specifically to reduce the risk of verdicts based on discriminatory or irrelevant factors, such as distaste for the defendant's background, allegiance, or other activities.

The Liberal Unionists were admitted to the Carlton Club and a longstanding source of tension was eradicated.
To cater for all susceptibilities, the party became the " National Unionist Association of Conservative and Unionist Associations " β€” a decision that allowed some local parties to go on calling themselves Conservative, but the name " Liberal " was at last dropped.
This was in itself a striking commentary on what had already been done: Liberal Unionists who had resisted amalgamation under Balfour and Acland-Hood in 1911 acquiesced meekly under Law and Steel-Maitland in 1912.

If we consider the environment in the broadest sense, much monitoring of it has been in progress for many years and by an enormous diversity of organizations in the UK; these include the DoE, the Forestry Commission, the Nature Conservancy, the Health and Safety Executive, local authorities, the component members of the Natural Environment Research Council (such as the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology and the British Antarctic Survey), individuals or research groups in academia, the CEGB, the Friends of the Earth, and UK Centre for Economic and Environmental Development (CEED) (1989).
The diversity of monitoring organizations seems just as great in other countries; numerous multinational organizations, both quasi-governmental (e.g. the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)) and non-governmental (e.g. the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED)) are also active in the field.

The β€˜ silence over race ’ was breached in 1980–1, but in 1985 debate about racial issues was taken a step further.
During the 1985 riots and their immediate aftermath, the imagery of β€˜ race ’ was used by sections of the press without the sense of ambiguity which could still be found in 1980–1.
Peregrine Worsthorne, for example, used the ferocity of the confrontations in Handsworth, Brixton, and Tottenham to argue that there was a major question mark over the possibility of assimilating the β€˜ coloured population ’ into mainstream β€˜ British values ’ (Sunday Telegraph, 29 September 1985).
