Notes Introduction 1. Guardian, 17 June 1999 – John Hutton, the health minister, was quoted as saying there should be ‘radical improvements in adoption services. We will not hesitate to take the necessary action in the future to ensure that looked-after children do not become the innocent victims of misplaced theory or ideology’. And a prospective adopter wrote to the Evening Standard, 4 September 2003: ‘No first-time natural parent on this planet is, or will ever be, examined and intrusively checked on their parenting capability, as adopters are.’ 2. Jenny Keating, ‘Struggle for Identity: Issues Underlying the Enactment of the 1926 Adoption of Children Act’, University of Sussex Journal of Contemporary History, issue 3 (2001), http://www.sussex.ac.uk/history/documents/3._ keating_struggle_for_identity.pdf. 3. They could apply to see their original birth certificate when they reached the age of majority but a court order was necessary. During this period very few legally adopted children would have reached the age of majority except for a few whose de facto adoptions were made official by the 1926 Adoption Act. 4. See Chapter 6. 5.

A couple of the recent popular accounts of adoption have an element of historical background: Sue Elliott in her story of her reunion with her birth mother, Love Child: A Memoir of Adoption, Reunion, Loss and Love (London: Vermillion, 2005), and Hunter Davies in Relative Strangers: A History of Adoption and a Tale of Triplets (London: Time Warner Books, 2003), which is however more a human interest story of the reunion of triplets born and adopted in 1932 than an actual history of adoption. 19. In particular, G. Roberts, ‘Social and Legal Policy in Child Adoption in England and Wales 1913–1958’ (PhD thesis, University of Leicester, 1973). Roberts looked in detail at the development of adoption legislation and the changing attitudes to social policy and administration which lay behind the legislative changes. She was able to interview some of the people involved in the independent adoption societies in the early years of adoption and was unconstrained by the data protection legislation which affects everyone now working in the field of adoption or dealing with adoption records. 20. The Horsbrugh Report 1937 (see Chapter 6) said that ‘none of the chief adop- tion societies appears to possess on its staff trained social workers’. (p. 11) 21.

    Padfield Wonders Aloud (Do Contact Me on [email protected])

    University of Leeds Centre for Criminal Justice Studies Justice in the Criminal Courts in the 21st Century What are criminal courts for? Nicky Padfield wonders aloud (do contact me on [email protected]) VERY VERY DRAFT Introduction I am taking the opportunity as the first speaker at this conference to raise some big and/or broad questions. The paper is not as developed as I would like: I shall dig more into history, theory, law and practice in due course. But, in essence, my argument is that this big picture allows us to remember important principles. Many of the speakers who follow will focus on individual aspects of the trial process, often presenting original empirical research. Here I go back to basics. What is a trial? A public process which compels defendants to answer a charge of criminal wrongdoing. The outcome is often a serious sanction. Obviously, trials have to be fair. That does not simply mean they should not be unfair. Should we focus on ways in which public courts can promote fairness and justice, and indeed social cohesion? Swift justice has merits, but does not necessarily achieve just outcomes. Non-public ‗diversion‘ is equally dangerous. I will briefly raise some of the criminological literature on compliance, legitimacy and desistance – but speak up also for human rights and the rule of law - a big agenda! History For the purpose of this paper, I took as my starting point a series of riot trials, at three different moments in English history. Serendipitously, when the riots of 2011 were still recent, I happened upon a book called the Report of the Trials for Rioting at Ely and Littleport, 1816 (Warren, ed, 1997).

This merciless attack on the Basque town situated far behind military lines made British politicians fully aware of the true situation in Spain where innocent civilians were facing persecution and murder at the hands of Franco’s Nationalists. Steer’s article prompted the British government, which had maintained a policy of non- intervention from the outset of the Spanish Civil War, to finally agree to accept 4,000 Basque child refugees in May 1937. This dissertation will examine Britain’s response to the cause of the Basque child refugees, looking at why their evacuation to Britain was so problematic for the government.

    The Eleanor Rathbone Social Justice Lecture, February 2016) Susan Pedersen

    Women and the Quest for Equal Citizenship (The Eleanor Rathbone Social Justice lecture, February 2016) Susan Pedersen Thank you for inviting me to speak with you today. It is a privilege to reflect on the work and thought of Eleanor Rathbone, especially in Liverpool. One might think that the city of Liverpool owes Rathbone a good deal – after all her family helped to found the Anti-Slavery Society and the Central Relief Society, district nursing and the School of Social Work, Liverpool University, and the Walker Art Gallery. But that isn’t how Eleanor Rathbone saw it. As she wrote to a friend in 1919, she thought her relationship to Liverpool “one sided”: the city had given her wealth and position; she needed to do more, much more, to give back. I think right there we see something critically important about Rathbone, which is that she didn’t equate wealth with moral virtue. Hang on to that thought, if you would, because I’m going to come back to it. Now Rathbone did of course “give back” – not just to her city, but to all of us. She did this through some fifty years of ceaseless feminist, humanitarian and political work. She had a share in, or was the architect of, a host of important feminist reforms, from women’s suffrage to widows pensions to family allowances, but her extra- parliamentary campaigns also touched countless individuals lives, from Liverpool children given a better start to refugees from fascism who found her always willing to battle the Home Office for one more visa, one more exception.
