www.learningcurve.gov.uk/snapshots/snapshot25/snapshot25.htm  Victorian ungdomskriminalitet
"Young people have always got into trouble with the law. What changes over time is how society deals with its young offenders. Before Victorian times no distinction was made between criminals of any age. Accordingly, young children could be sent to an adult prison. There are records of children aged 12 being hanged. The Victorians were very worried about crime and its causes. Reformers were asking questions about how young people who had broken the law ought to be treated. They could see that locking children up with adult criminals was hardly likely to make them lead honest lives in the future. On the other hand, they believed firmly in stiff punishments. This Public Record Office website looks at the cases of two child criminals, Elizabeth Roberts and George Page."

The Crime Library is a rapidly growing collection of more than over 500 nonfiction feature stories on major crimes, criminals, trials, forensics and criminal profiling, as well as award-winning fiction short stories by prominent writers. The stories focus mostly on recent crimes, but an expanding collection also delves into historically notorious characters, dating back to the 1400s and spanning the globe. The Crime Library serves as an important resource for students researching current and historical subjects." (Spartacus)

Channel 4's Crime Team lifts the lid on grisly murders from the crime history books. Each week two celebrity sleuths, from politicians to art critics, turn detective; their powers of deduction tested to the full, pitted against investigators of another era with only the forensic tools of the time to crack the case. Starting at the real murder scene, they must ask the right question of adjudicator Jerome Lynch QC to gain the next piece of evidence, before naming their killer. But immersing themselves in the historical period of the time, another picture emerges - often of social inequality and harsh justice. This website looks at the people and the influences at work. And having learned how to chase leads and rule out red herrings, you can take the challenge and have a go at cracking the site's own murder mystery.

" Violence of the criminal kind makes the headlines, but the sort that gives parents and kids the most day-to-day anguish is bullying, so often at the root of more overt violence. The Scottish Council for Research in Education offers a fine mix of resources on the subject, including surveys, tools for creating policy, the omnipresent links list, and advice for parents (don't let bullying slide, even when the victims are reluctant to discuss it). According to one of the studies detailed on the site, only about one-third of kids have no experience with bullying - but the remaining two-thirds include professed bullies. Some of those surveyed report experience on both sides of the confrontation. What we particularly liked about this site is that it didn't proffer a simplistic formula for combating what must seem like the intractable bane of some kids' existences." (free pint?)

"Nothing bewilders us more than the propensity of humans to hate other people for the most inexplicable of reasons, including skin color, religion, language, location, and so forth. In a century that has seen seemingly endless outpourings of hatred and the systematic application of state-sponsored genocide, it's incredible that the seductive lure of hatred continues to poison. The American Psychological Association's Hate Crimes Today site is an attempt to expose this problem to public view. The site basically consists of an article, An Age-Old Foe in Modern Dress, which discusses the topic in some detail. It points out that "most hate crimes are carried out by otherwise law- abiding young people who see little wrong with their actions". Personal prejudice, feeding off lies, myths, and ignorance, fuels most of this activity. " (infomine?)

Heck,in some cases, if you misuse your microwave, it is more dangerous than a gun." --Sen. Ray Haynes of California on a state bill that would require a special license for future handgun buyers.

"A history professor who drew down the wrath of the American Right by challenging the belief that gun-ownership was universal among colonial settlers now faces a formal investigation of his research. Professor Michael A. Bellesiles, author of Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture, and Emory University, where he teaches, have agreed on the move as a way of settling the furious controversy over his methods and conclusions. While admitting that his book may have contained some minor mistakes, he has defended its integrity and main conclusions. His pleas for less heated exchanges have been ignored by supporters of the Second Amendment and he has claimed that opponents have hacked into his website to alter data. "

When Frontline was launched in 1983, the prospects for television news documentaries looked grim. Pressure was on the network news departments to become profitable, and the spirit of outspoken journalistic inquiry established by programs like Edward R. Murrow's "See It Now" and "Harvest of Shame" had given way to entertainment values and feature-filled magazine shows. Therefore, it fell to public television to pick up the torch of public affairs and continue this well-established broadcast news tradition.

Throughout history, liberty has inspired acts of great courage.

Lafayette led soldiers into battle, endured brutal prisons and faced the most powerful rulers in Europe. Daniel O'Connell championed the cause of Irish liberty for four tumultuous decades. The astonishing Swede Raoul Wallenberg saved almost 100,000 Jews from Nazi death camps. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. defied death threats as he campaigned against segregationist laws, renewing the "higher law" doctrine that laws just be judged by moral standards. This excellent website, created by Jim Powell, hopes to enrich the visitor's understanding of ideas, personalities and events in the history of liberty. (Powell er historiker)
