There are three cases: the Bradford Riots June 9-11th, 1995, The ‘Battle of Orgreave,’ June 18th, 1984 and a violent encounter between Leeds United and Manchester United fans at Elland Road on October 11th, 1975. The cases are set within the dynamic of violence mutation revealed in both their specific genres and in the fusion of violence that draws together the cases and manifestations of violence in the region throughout the period covered. The unique challenges of violence research are addressed and a triangulation methodology was employed drawing upon extensive newspaper sources, official reports, secondary sources and a limited sample of supporting interviews to garner an insight into the events. -

Growing up in England, I was raised to have suspicion for any kind of revolutionary activity against the Government in Westminster. Understandably, the England I grew up in was an England still plagued by the IRA (Irish Republican Army), and growing up in Birmingham I was made aware of the experience of terrorist activities in the local area. In school, I was never taught the English Civil War, only discovering from independent study that England had experienced anything similar to the French Revolution that I was taught about the mighty English and British heroes eventually put the revolutionaries to the sword. I was never told in school that there had ever been a General Strike in England, whilst I distinctly remember the news reporting strikes in foreign countries. -

Abstract of thesis: Special advisers are temporary civil servants, of party political alignment, appointed on a basis of individual ministerial patronage. Particularly since 1997, there has been much interest in their activities. This work sets out to provide a historical perspective on the subject, which is currently lacking. The long-tenn background to the instigation of the special adviser and the circumstances in which this innovation took place will be discussed. The central focus of this work is upon the period 1964-70, during which, it will be argued, special advisers, as they are now conceived, were first used. Full consideration is given to the subjects of who special advisers were, what they did and why, as well as how they functioned. Their official positions, in terms of matters such as job titles, pay, access to information and rules governing their conduct, will be investigated. -
