  • A Study of Abuja Crime Hotspot Mapping and Analysis
    GEO-SPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR NIGERIAN URBAN SECURITY AND CRIME MANAGEMENT - A STUDY OF ABUJA CRIME HOTSPOT MAPPING AND ANALYSIS Adepoju M. O, Halilu S. A, S.O. Mohammed, Ozigis S. M, Idris I, Blessing A, Adeluyi O. A National Space Research and Development Agency Strategic Space Application Department Abuja, Nigeria. [email protected]; [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]. ABSTRACT Abuja is one of the fastest growing cities in the sub-Sahara Africa. The city lacks the modern management techniques for an effective crime mapping, monitoring and management to meet the attainment of liveable environment despite its aesthetically pleasing outlook of a modern city. The cities of the developed world are managed with the intelligence provided by Geo-spatial technologies. The advances in space technologies have made the onerous task of managing crime possible. However, the availability of these technologies has not been exploited, utilised nor domesticated by various institutions charged with the responsibility of city planning and management to attain secure and safe environment in Nigerian urban and rural communities. Geographic information systems, remote sensing and allied technologies have manifested in various forms in the last four decades particularly since the launch of LANDSAT earth observatory satellites these has provided baseline information for intelligence gathering. The very high resolution images provided by the new generation of satellites have made the integration of GIS/RS for urban crime mapping not only possible but also effective for day-to-day running and management of many aspects of city life. The NigeriaSat-2 and Ortho-rectified Quick-Bird images, basemap, master plan and questionnaires were used to generate the crime dataset which was later aggregated to show the crime hotspots and Coldspots areas within the residential districts of Abuja Federal Capital City, Phase 1.

  • Barry George in Protest Over Compensation Rules”
    Networked Knowledge Media Reports Networked Knowledge Compensation Homepage This page set up by Dr Robert N Moles On 23 February 2015 the BBC reported “Barry George in protest over compensation rules” Barry George, the man wrongfully convicted of the murder of Jill Dando, has told the BBC that a decision not to award him compensation is "a mockery of justice". He is among four men protesting in London on Monday against a tightening of the criteria for compensation in so-called "miscarriage of justice" cases. Mr George says he "lost everything" while serving eight years in prison. The MoJ said only people who proved their innocence could get compensation. Mr George was convicted of murdering Jill Dando in 2001 but was acquitted of the killing at a retrial in 2008 after doubt was cast on the reliability of gunshot residue evidence. His family has tried and failed twice to get compensation for him and are now campaigning for a change in the law. 'Hugely damaged' Mr George, along with three other men who have had their convictions quashed - Victor Nealon, Martin Foran and James Boyle - will protest later outside a global law summit taking place in central London. The government introduced new legislation in 2014 which made changes to the compensation scheme, creating a statutory definition of what constitutes a "miscarriage of justice". Now compensation is only paid when the court quashes a conviction because a new fact has emerged to show beyond reasonable doubt that the applicant did not commit the offence. In an interview with Radio 5 live Breakfast, Mr George's sister Michelle Bates said: "In the British justice system you are innocent until proven guilty.

  • Home Abusers 'Likely to Commit Other Crimes'
    THE GUARDIAN (London) March 20, 2004 Home Abusers ‘Likely to Commit Other Crimes’ By Rosie Cowan, Crime Correspondent Domestic abusers are much more likely to commit other crimes but police are failing to make crucial connections, according to Metroplitan police research. A study of 400 offences and perpetrators, mostly men, discovered that at least 70% of those who had physically assaulted partners had a criminal history. Around one in 12 had sexual convictions, or there was intelligence that they had been involved in other rapes or sexual assaults. Of those who had sexually abused a partner, one in four were committing offences outside the home and one in eight were considered highly dangerous. Yet only 29% of those who had raped or sexually assaulted a partner were on the national DNA database. Laura Richards, a senior behavioural consultant with the Met’s racial and violent crime taskforce, said officers often did not swab domestic abusers for DNA because consent rather than identification was at issue, and they were not considering the offender as a suspect for other crimes. But she said it was vital for detectives to realise that men who beat up or raped wives or girlfriends were also “good candidates” for stranger rapes. She pointed to a large number of murderers who had a history of physical, sexual or psychological domestic abuse - the Soham killer Ian Huntley; Graham Coutts, who strangled Brighton teacher Jane Longhurst; Barry George who shot Jill Dando; and serial killer, Fred West. There was also the recent case of M25 rapist, Antoni Imiela, who had previous convictions for burglary and assault, who raped at least eight women and girls and was eventually caught through DNA.

    YCCCART 2018/Y5 The Old Stone Crosses of Wick St Lawrence YATTON, CONGRESBURY, CLAVERHAM AND CLEEVE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH TEAM (YCCCART) General Editor: Vince Russett Wick village green with it's impractical village cross Wick St Lawrence, Old stone crosses, Documentary and photographic, 2018, Y5, v1 1 Contents 3 Abstract Acknowledgements Introduction 4 Site location Land use and geology 5 Historical & archaeological context 9 Village cross 15 Churchyard cross 17 References Wick St Lawrence, Old stone crosses, Documentary and photographic, 2018, Y5, v1 2 Abstract Wick St Lawrence is one of those rare villages that possessed (and still does possess) both a village and a churchyard cross. Whether these villages are simply accidents of survival (and many villages once possessed both), or were marked out in some way in the medieval period, cannot at present be known. Acknowledgements Firstly, my thanks go to Linda Jenkins, who's pamphlet on the subject in 1991 should be far better known. Thanks to the people of Wick St Lawrence for their care of their two crosses: the village cross deserves to be better known. Introduction Yatton, Congresbury, Claverham and Cleeve Archaeological Research Team (YCCCART) is one of a number of Community Archaeology teams across northern Somerset, formerly supported by the North Somerset Council Development Management Team. Our objective is to undertake archaeological fieldwork to enable a better understanding and management of the heritage of the area while recording and publishing the activities and locations of the research carried out. Wick St Lawrence, Old stone crosses, Documentary and photographic, 2018, Y5, v1 3 Site location Fig 1: Location - the red arrows indicate the position of the two crosses Wick St Lawrence is a tiny village 2.7km NE of Worle village centre and 20km west of Bristol, reached by a drive of some 3.6km from the A370 at Hewish.

  • Joint Enterprise
    Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review (2013) 1 REDEFINING MURDER: JOINT ENTERPRISE Nicola Mitchell-Rodd1 Abstract This article explores the evolution of secondary liability and the unforgiving doctrine of joint enterprise in homicide cases. Exploration of the current law ensues to determine if the distinct decisions of their Lordships in both Powell and Rahman have failed to sufficiently clarify the law; followed by in depth analysis of the Law Commission and Ministry of Justice proposals to reform this infamously disputed area of law. Keywords: secondary liability, joint enterprise, murder, manslaughter, reform Introduction In January 2012, 19 years after his horrific, heart-wrenching demise, justice for Steven Lawrence finally prevailed. The doctrine of joint enterprise allowed the jury at the Old Bailey to finally convict two of Lawrence’s alleged killers of his brutal murder. However, just days later, headlines read ‘MPs call for new gang murder law’,2 following the publication of the Commons Justice Select Committee’s Report on joint enterprise, projecting the notorious and controversial debate over the common law doctrine back into the national media.3 Joint enterprise is a complex principle that allows multiple parties to a crime to be convicted of the same offence. Therefore, in cases of murder liability will be imposed not only to the principal offender who inflicts the lethal blow but also any secondary parties who have been involved in the commission of the crime. However, it has been the subject of severe scrutiny and review for several years. Arguably there is a particular problem with secondary liability to 1 Nicola is currently undertaking the Legal Practice Course at Plymouth University.
