PUB DATE 93 NOTE 30p. AVAILABLE FROMStaff College, Coombe Lodge, Blagdon, Bristol BS18 6RG, England, United Kingdom (2.50 British pounds).

DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

Glossary Version 0.1 Page 2 of 53 1. Foreword Welcome to Allerdale Borough Council’s first Corporate Improvement Plan. This Plan is very important for us, as it builds upon our ambitious Vision of making Allerdale “a great place to live, work and visit”, and takes it one step further to identify how, over the next five years we will work towards making it happen. In developing this plan, we have looked at what is important to our communities, rather than what legal duties as a Council we have to undertake. The way we have done this is by engaging with and listening to a wide range of views and opinions to ensure that our key priorities and focus are in line with local aspirations. We would like to thank all of the individuals and organisations who have supported us to this point and we look forward to continuing to nurture these relationships as we move forward into delivery, as we are very aware that in order for us to achieve our ambitions we will need to work with, and through, a range of partners.

  • Millom and Haverigg Flood Report DRAFT
    Millom and Haverigg Flood Investigation Report 30th September 2017 Cumbria County Council This flood investigation report has been produced by Cumbria County Council as a Lead Local Flood Authority under Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010. Version Undertaken by Reviewed by Approved by Date Draft Helen Renyard / Making Space for Doug Coyle January 2018 Gavin Murray Water Group Final 2 Serving the people of Cumbria Executive Summary Cumbria County Council as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) has prepared this report with the assistance of other Flood Risk Management Authorities as it considers necessary to do so under Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010. Millom and Haverigg are situated on the west Cumbrian coastline in the south of the county with Duddon estuary directly to the east. Many watercourses discharge into the estuary with Duddon River as the primary source. On 30th September 2017 an intense rainfall event occurred which at its peak had an intensity of 19-21mm/hr. The rain soon overwhelmed the drainage systems and surface water began to rise, flooding an estimated 261 residential properties including commercial. As part of the investigations the LLFA has gathered information from affected residents by means of site visits and a flood forum where members of the public provided information. Many surveys of various assets in the area have been carried out including highway drainage systems, public sewers including pumping stations and the performance of associated watercourses. From the information gathered it was identified that the cause of the flooding was due to the intense rainfall event overwhelming the drainage assets, however, in some locations it may have been compounded by faults on some of the drainage systems.

  • Crimes of the Powerful and the Policing of Valid Knowledge
    The British Criminology Conference: Selected Proceedings. Volume 5. Papers from the British Society of Criminology Conference, Keele, July 2002. This volume published August 2003. Editor: Roger Tarling. ISSN 1464-4088. See end of file for copyright and other information. 'Behind the Line of Truncheons': Crimes of the Powerful and the Policing of Valid Knowledge. Dave Whyte Abstract This paper is concerned with the prospects for the development of criminological knowledge of the incidence of 'crimes of the powerful', as part of the current 'boom' in state-funded criminological knowledge. Following a brief analysis of the current trajectory of university based social science and a focus upon the scope and content of recent research commissioned by the Home Office, the paper turns to examine, with reference to an analysis of crime and disorder partnerships in the North West of England, the subject matter of data which informs local crime reduction and community safety strategies. The paper then discusses the forms of data that have been constructed as 'valid' by the Home Office, before concluding with a discussion of the prospects for the inclusion of 'crimes of the powerful' in future crime reduction agendas. Introduction Writing more than thirty years ago, Martin Nicolaus argued that western states' increasing tendency to resort to repression and social order maintenance was having a profound impact upon sociological research. As the use-value of sociology declined and funding for liberal sociological research faced a prolonged period of austerity in the US, one direction in which the sociologists would be forced in order to retain any marketable value would be in evaluating the impact and effectiveness of a rapidly expanding criminal justice system.
