  • Serious Case Review Into Child Sexual Exploitation in Oxfordshire: from the Experiences of Children A, B, C, D, E, and F
    Serious Case Review into Child Sexual Exploitation in Oxfordshire: from the experiences of Children A, B, C, D, E, and F Approved by the OSCB February 26th 2015 Update14.3.15 Independent Reviewer: Alan Bedford MA (Social Work), Dip.Crim FOREWORD i. What happened to the child victims of the sexual exploitation in Oxfordshire was indescribably awful, and a number of perpetrators are serving long periods of imprisonment following the investigation known as ‘Operation Bullfinch’. The child victims and their families feel very let down. Their accounts of how they perceived professional work are disturbing and chastening. There is clearly a demand to find out how such extensive abuse could have continued for so long before it was properly identified, and why there was not speedier action. There was a strong public reaction last year and this year to two Rotherham inquiries (which were not Serious Case Reviews) and to similar concerns reported elsewhere, and there have been calls in such cases for individuals to be held to account. ii. The Serious Case Review (SCR) has seen no evidence of wilful professional neglect or misconduct by organisations, but there was at times a worrying lack of curiosity and follow through, and much work should have been considerably different and better. There is little evidence that the local understanding of child sexual exploitation (CSE), or how to tackle it once identified, was significantly different from many parts of the country. iii. On the surface, many of the illustrations described in the report can seem like professional ineptitude, unconcern, or inaction. They become more understandable when put in the context of the knowledge and processes at the time, practical difficulties around evidence, and a professional mind-set which could not grasp that the victims’ ability to say ‘no’ had been totally eroded.

    Oxford Heritage Walks Book 2 On foot from Broad Street by Malcolm Graham © Oxford Preservation Trust, 2014 This is a fully referenced text of the book, illustrated by Edith Gollnast with cartography by Alun Jones, which was first published in 2014. Also included are a further reading list and a list of common abbreviations used in the footnotes. The published book is available from Oxford Preservation Trust, 10 Turn Again Lane, Oxford, OX1 1QL – tel 01865 242918 Contents: Broad Street to Ship Street 1 – 8 Cornmarket Street 8 – 14 Carfax to the Covered Market 14 – 20 Turl Street to St Mary’s Passage 20 – 25 Radcliffe Square and Bodleian Library 25 – 29 Catte Street to Broad Street 29 - 35 Abbreviations 36 Further Reading 36-37 Chapter 1 – Broad Street to Ship Street The walk begins at the western end of Broad Street, outside the Fisher Buildings of Balliol College (1767, Henry Keene; refaced 1870).1 ‘The Broad’ enjoyably combines grand College and University buildings with humbler shops and houses, reflecting the mix of Town and Gown elements that has produced some of the loveliest townscapes in central Oxford. While you savour the views, it is worth considering how Broad Street came into being. Archaeological evidence suggests that the street was part of the suburban expansion of Oxford in the 12th century. Outside the town wall, there was less pressure on space and the street is first recorded as Horsemonger Street in c.1230 because its width had encouraged the sale of horses. Development began on the north side of the street and the curving south side echoes the shape of the ditch outside the town wall, which, like the land inside it, was not built upon until c.

  • Police Aviation News
    Police Aviation—History INTRODUCTION As far as I am aware, this history of the varied methods by which the law enforcement forces of the world arrived in a position whereby, by the late 1990s, most of them have been able to under- take air patrols is the first attempted. The content is exhaustive as possible in the face of a de- gree of secrecy and a certain lack of inertia. The meaning of the word “police” is, I recall from my training days over thirty years ago, the means by which governments endeavor to keep the peace. Although still valid in many parts of the world, this statement to fledgling British police was probably never intended to encompass the sheer diversity of modern law enforcement. Written in the days of Victoria, it was inward look- ing and took no account of the extensive para-military activity that now typifies policing across the world. For this reason the researching and compilation of this book has been complicated by the requirement to make arbitrary decisions about just which law enforcement bodies to include in the survey. Instances of this can be clearly seen from the coverage of the United States of America [USA], the country where the ground swell of law enforcement aviation was, and is, most clearly to be seen. In the USA there are thousands of law enforcement units across the length and breadth of this massive country, some use aircraft. In addition to the hundreds of police, marshall and sheriff units, each thrusting forward, individually and mutually, in the battle against law breakers, there are the large Federal organizations, most of which give the impression of having other, more pressing, duties to perform than law enforcement.

  • Inspector William Merry New Zealand Rifle Brigade
    Inspector William Merry New Zealand Rifle Brigade Kenneth William Merry joined the Bucks Constabulary on the 20th November 1950. He was following in the footsteps of his father William Merry. William was born in Goole, Yorkshire on the 4th November 1895 and was the only son of James and Emma Merry. His father was a fish fryer and they lived at 1 Barmston Street, Sculcoates, Hull and was the owner occupier of the premises. The present day definition of a fish fryer is a typically British fish and chip shop. Prior to this James had been a fisherman working from Grimsby. By 1911 James and his family had moved back to Goole and were now living at 1 Stanley Street. James was still in the Fish and chip shop business. By 1913 William was employed as a clerk and in the same year after a visit from New Zealand by his Uncle and Aunt, Daniel and Emma Averis (Emma was James sister) it was decided William should go to New Zealand with them. He had contracted tuberculosis and it was thought the climate in that part of the world would be better for him and assist his recovery.

The Trust was set up following the murder by armed criminals of three police officers at Shepherds Bush in 1966. The late Sir William Butlin, at the time anonymously, gave £100,000 for the establishment of a trust to help in cases where police officers were killed or injured on duty. Public reaction to the crime was such that the fund soon increased to more than £1⁄4 million. The Police Dependants’ Trust was formally constituted by the signing of the Trust Deed on 21 December 1966 and registration with the Charity Commission in January 1967.
