Sensational media and police reports in 1989 seemed to suggest an increased use of β€˜ crack ’ among young people in parts of south London, Liverpool, and Birmingham β€” with attendant fears that this particularly dangerous substance might become widespread, as it was reported to be in parts of the United States.

He certainly held deep convictions as to the absolute wrongness of the Liberal policies that he opposed, but at least a part of his apparent hostility was assumed for the occasion, a hard line that might secure a better compromise in the end.
Much of his leadership was thus a form of pragmatic extremism, extreme action and the threat of more extreme action to come, but used in the cause of more limited objectives.
So in his first major speech as leader in parliament he wasted little time on the customary compliments and warned the government that he intended to play hard.

Nowadays the problem is quite the reverse: medical science is generally able to determine whether D's conduct caused the death, and innovations such as life-support machines mean that life can be prolonged for months and years in some instances.
The β€˜ year and a day ’ rule is a legacy of times when medical science was so rudimentary that, if there was a substantial lapse of time between injury and death, it was unsafe to pronounce on whether the defendant's conduct or some other event caused the death.

The usual tactic was to march troops across the enemy's territory, plundering and looting; to take fortified places if the task was easy; to obtain allies among the lords of the locality; and to retreat without fighting a battle if at all possible β€” in effect an application to a wider canvas of the some technique of warfare which had earlier made castellans formidable in the immediate environs of their castles.
The pattern caused problems, in that the circumstances which might trigger off renewed fighting were unpredictable; yet the moment an opportunity offered, princes had to be prepared for invading their enemies; there was no time for lengthy preparation.
It necessitated the rapid mobilization of auxiliaries to join a core of highly-trained troops kept constantly, at the ready β€” the princes' military households, which became the linch pin of the system.

In the end, it was not in Outremer but in the newly conquered Byzantine empire that the Flemish crusading achievement was crowned with the elevation of Count Baldwin IX to the imperial throne in 1204.
Thierry's remote connection with the family of Godfrey de Bouillon, along with his marriage with Sybilla of Anjou, Fulk V's daughter, gave him some claim to the throne of Jerusalem; as a consequence, the aristocracy of Outremer viewed him and Philip with mixed feelings, expecting much of them, yet fearing their ambitions.
But in the twelfth century, the house of Alsace could afford the high costs of their expeditions β€” Thierry went to Jerusalem four times, Philip twice β€” and the counts' repeated absences in fact promoted administrative reform; the baillis and the Grote Bref were as much the products of crusading as the English and Norman judicial system and exchequers were the product of the king-duke's divided attentions.

Thus far, for instance, accuracies of land cover (let alone what is often needed, i.e. land use) determined from Landsat and SPOT imagery for the UK have rarely been higher than 70 per cent unless trivial classifications (e.g. built/unbuilt land) have been used.
The value of this information is inherently dependent upon the quality of the inference process and that in turn depends upon the complexity of the scene, the spatial, temporal and spectral resolution of the sensors and the particular algorithms used.

Whatever the justifications for introducing this policy, it serves to underline the fact that sentencing in murder cases is enacted without each case being considered individually, after hearing representations from the offender's counsel, and without a sentence announced in court and subject to appeal.
