EXCLUSION OF PRESS AND PUBLIC RESOLVED, that the press not be excluded from the meeting during consideration of any items on the agenda today. 43. MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING RESOLVED, that the minutes of the meeting held on 2 June 2010 be agreed as an accurate record and signed by the Chair. 44. FINANCIAL INCLUSION AND CREDIT UNION DEVELOPMENT Mrs W Skillicorn left the meeting at this point. The Programme Manager – Inclusion presented a report to members which updated them on achievements in developing and expanding the Credit Union movement in Copeland utilising the funds allocated last year. The report sought the Local Committee’s agreement on priorities for the allocation of ring-fenced budgets to support debt rescue and develop Credit Union work across Copeland for this financial year. The Development Officer from Whitehaven, Egremont and District Credit Union and the Chair of Cleator Moor Credit Union were invited to discuss with members developments within their own Credit Unions during the past 12 months. In relation to Whitehaven, Egremont and District Credit Union the Development Officer outlined a summary of increase in membership, shares, and loan book for the period October 2009 to June 2010. Over the past 12 months work had been taking place to merge Whitehaven and Egremont Credit Unions, and the transfer took place on 16 April 2010. To meet the demand and capacity of members now using the facility the Credit Union had recently moved into new offices. Opening hours had been extended from three days a week to five days a week from October 2009 with similar services being provided in the Egremont office. In relation to the Cleator Moor and District Credit Union the Chair said the funding received from Copeland Local Committee was used to support revenue costs including staff costs. The funding assisted the Credit Union in the delivery of affordable financial services to the local community. The funding also assisted the Credit Union in securing an additional £22,000 from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust. The Programme Manager – Inclusion highlighted the increase in membership, shares and loan book for Millom and District Credit Union to members. Members were asked to consider two options for the allocation of ring-fenced budgets to Credit Unions for this financial year. The two options included;- Option 1 - To split the available budget to support debt rescue and develop credit union work across Copeland equally between the Credit Unions (£5351 each) to be spent as according to the priorities of their individual business plans Option 2 - To utilise the whole £16,054 to support the merger and expansion of existing credit unions in Copeland within the context of moving towards a County wide Credit Union. This option would require one of the Credit Unions (most likely Cleator Moor & District) to lead on this work and provide support to the other two Members were aware of the vast amount of work undertaken to amalgamate the Whitehaven and Egremont Credit Unions, and for this reason they felt that Option 1 was their preferred option for funding Credit Unions in the forthcoming year. RESOLVED, that funding be split equally between the three Credit Unions (£5351 each) to support debt rescue and develop Credit Union work across Copeland. This funding to be spent according to the priorities outlined in their individual business plans. 45. LOCAL COMMITTEE DEVOLVED BUDGET 2010/11 – MONITORING REPORT – COMMUNITIES BUDGET Mrs W Skillicorn returned the meeting at this point. The Local Committee considered a report from the Corporate Director – Resources which set out the actual expenditure and commitments recorded against the Local Committee’s Community budgets as at 31 May 2010. The Senior Accounting Technician asked members to note the carry forward of Local Committee balances from 2009/10 into 2010/11 had been presented for approval at the County Council meeting held on 24 June 2010. The underspent but committed balances were approved for carry forward, however, any unallocated unspent balances were not allowed except for those in respect of Early Years Designated Schools Grant allocations. RESOLVED, that members (1) note the budget allocations for 2010/11 and the commitments and expenditure recorded to date; (2) note the unallocated resources in the Communities Revenue budgets of £296,355; (3) note the unallocated resources in the Local Member Capital budgets of £151,000. 46. LOCAL COMMITTEE DEVOLVED BUDGET 2010/11 – MONITORING REPORT – HIGHWAYS BUDGET The Local Committee considered a report from the Corporate Director – Resources which presented the actual expenditure and commitments recorded against the Local Committee’s Highways Revenue and Capital budgets as at 31 May 2010. RESOLVED, that members (1) note the budget allocations for 2010-11 and the expenditure recorded to date; (2) note that the Revenue budget currently has a projected unspent balance of £30,893; (3) note that the Highways Stewards Budget has a projected balanced budget; (4) note that the Detrunked Budget has a projected underspend of £40,207; (5) note the NPRN budget is showing a projected unspent balance of £29,434; (6) note the APM budget is showing a projected overspend of £4,142. 47. ROTHERSYKE EROSION Members had before them a report by the Corporate Director – Environment which advised them of the extent the erosion by the River Ehen of land supporting the C4014 adopted highway from Gully Flatts to Kersey Bridge and the options available to the Local Committee. The C4014 Gully Flatts to Kersey Bridge Road had been constructed in part along the top of the high ground alongside the flood plain of the River Ehen. The condition of the bank and the extent of the erosion had been monitored by Cumbria County Council and Capita for many years. Capita had previously installed a monitoring borehole in this location but this had been washed away a few years ago. In 2001/2 the sum of £25,000 was offered to the Environment Agency as a contribution towards whatever protection works the Agency might deem to be necessary. The offer was not taken up and no protection works were undertaken. In 2008 a landslip brought down most of the trees in this location and caused an emergency road closure. Capita Symonds carried out a subsequent geotechnical inspection which advised that further failure of the slope could incur without warning. This had led to the road closure being continued for the full 18 months after which Secretary of State approval would be required for the stopping-up of the road. The existing 18 month temporary road closure would expire on 26 September 2010. If members agreed with the recommendations contained in the report the County Council would have grounds for an extension for a further six months. RESOLVED, that (1) Cumbria County Council should continue to monitor the road and the stability of the bank but not at this stage commit to doing any works on the protection of the bank from erosion by the River Ehen which is classified as a main river until further legal advice on the duties of the County Council, The Environment Agency, Copeland Borough Council and the Management Act 2010 has been sought; (2) the Local Committee instruct the Area Engineer to commence the procedure to make a permanent prohibition of all traffic in respect of the area marked red on plan numbered G110/09/4023/LC/AMO having taken into consideration the matters contained in 122(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 which are more specifically referred to in 7.2 of this report. The Council also considers that the provisions of section 3 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 shall not apply as it is satisfied that the order is necessary for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or to prevent the likelihood of any such danger arising. 48. WEST CUMBRIA CYCLEPATH PARTNERSHIP Ms N Wingfield the Area Manager from Sustrans was also in attendance for this meeting and gave members a short presentation on work undertaken by Sustrans on the West Cumbria Cycleway Network between August 2009 and July 2010. As well as outlining work undertaken during the past year the Area Manager highlighted to members some of the difficulties the Partnership would face if funding was cut.

MANOR A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Honors in the Major Program in Legal Studies in the College of Health and Public Affairs and in The Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2015 Thesis Chair: Dr. James Beckman Abstract The United States has experienced several mass shootings in the past few years. It has been averaging one shooting every week in 2015, and something must be done about it. This problem appears to be limited to the United States since several other nations have been able to minimize, and almost eliminate the number of mass shootings. By taking an analysis of the gun laws of the United States with those of Australia and Canada it can be concluded that some aspects of strict gun control can reduce the number of mass shootings.

Introduction Since Ruth Cavan’s groundbreaking study of homicide followed by suicide in Chicago (Cavan, 1928), research mainly located within psychology and forensic pathology shows that homicide-suicide episodes, whilst uncommon, occur across a broad range of countries for which data have been collected. These include: Australia (Easteal, 1993; Carcach and Grabosky, 1998); England and Wales (West, 1967; Milroy, 1993; Barraclough and Harris, 2002; Flynn et al., 2009; Gregory and Milroy, 2010); Canada (Buteau et al., 1993; Gillespie et al., 1998); Finland (Kivivuori and Lehti (2003);France(Le Comte and Fornes, 1998); Hong Kong: (Beh et al., 2005); Iceland (Gudjonsson and Petursson, 1982); Israel (Landau, 1975); USA (Barber et al., 2008; Campinelli and Gilson, 2002; Hanzlick and Kopenen, 1994). Reviewing 17 studies from 10 countries, Coid (1983) found that although the rate of homicide varied widely between countries, the rate of homicide-suicide was much lessvariable.Itfollowedthatinthosecountrieswithhigher homicide rates, homicide-suicide as a percentage of homicide was smaller than in countries with lower homicide rates. Milroy (1995) reviewed the internationalliteratureagain,ana- lysing 27 studies from 17 countries and found these tendencies persisted. However, Cohen et al. (1998) found evidence to contradict this view, suggesting that homicide-suicide as apercentageoftotalhomicidesvarieswidelybetweencountries,fromaslittleas3%toas much as 60%. We know a good deal about the epidemiology of homicide-suicide from existing research (Harper and Voigt, 2007).
