Dog Control (a) Is there a need for a more fundamental overhaul of dog legislation, and its enforcement, including that relating to dog attacks on people, livestock and pets? There is a need for a more fundamental overhaul of dog legislation and its enforcement—there needs to be much more information given to the general public about the legislation and also more actual use of the enforcement , at present although in place it only seem s to used when a serious incident occurs. The emphasis needs to be on educating the dog owning public and making them aware of the legislation maybe through the media. (b) Is sufficient action being taken on pets raised as status dogs to ensure their welfare and reduce their impact on communities? No—the problem is that a lot of the people who have status dogs will not comply and conform with any legislation, it should be law that these dogs should be neutered so that they are not able to breed with them. (c) Will compulsory microchipping of puppies improve dog welfare and help prevent dog attacks at an affordable cost to dog owners? Should a dog licensing scheme also be considered? Compulsory microchipping of all puppies is a very good idea as it should make people more responsible for their dogs and their actions if they know that they will be accountable. However, I do not feel that it will prevent dog attacks. The problem with micro chipping is that when a dog changes hands the microchip details are not changed, the public need to be made aware that the ID chip details must be changed when they adopt a new pet and that ultimately the person who the dog is chipped to is the legal owner and responsible for the welfare of the dog. Dog Licensing is a very good idea used in conjunction with ID chipping, however licenses should be issued but suitably qualified persons who are specially trained end work in the welfare industry ie at animal homes & vet practices (similar to SQP for sale of Horse wormers; Dog Wormers etc). (d) Should the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 be extended to include offences committed on private property? No (e) Are Defra’s proposals for wider community and educational approaches to support responsible dog ownership sufficiently ambitious? Yes (f) Do local authorities, the police and animal welfare charities have the right roles in managing stray dogs under the current legislative regime? No—local authorities do but the Police and Welfare organisations do not tend to get involved with stray dogs usually because of budget constraints. 2. Dog Welfare (a) Has the response by dog breeders and the veterinary profession been effective? No—the problem is that anybody can breed a litter of pups from any bitch over six months of age without being registered as a dog breeder. This is the most likely avenue breeding illegal dogs and irresponsible dog breeding as they are not rehomed correctly thus exalting all the other problems. (b) What actions should Government take to address these issues? Make it illegal for anybody to breed puppies—if a member of the public has a pregnant bitch it should be reported to the local authority wardens who could then visit them to give advice as necessary and make the puppies are ID chipped and suitably rehomed and also give advice about neutering. (c) Are further controls required on dog breeders, including puppy farms, and those selling or importing dogs to ensure the welfare of bitches and puppies? If all puppies had be id chipped before leaving the breeder this would stop irresponsible breeders who don’t want to abide by rules and regulations and also keep track of all imported dogs and status dogs. It may also make it not cost effective for puppy farms to continue. cobber Pack: U PL: COE1 [E] Processed: [13-02-2013 13:42] Job: 025081 Unit: PG01 Source: /MILES/PKU/INPUT/025081/025081_w073_michelle_DOG 085 - ABI Correspondence.xml Ev w2 Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee: Evidence The problem with all of the above is that we have to have a body that will police them otherwise it will all be a waste of time.

  • St Albans City Archive Catalogues - Transcription
    St Albans City Archive Catalogues - Transcription Introduction The St Albans City Archive is one of the main sources of primary material for anyone researching the history of the city. However, understanding what is in the archive is daunting as the key finding aid, the catalogue produced by William Le Hardy in the 1940s, does not match the standard of modern catalogues. Improvements are underway. The City Archive has been held at Hertfordshire Archives & Local Studies (HALS) in Hertford since the 1990s. HALS are currently engaged in an extensive project to improve access to its catalogues via the internet. The City Archive is part of this project but it is likely to be several years before the fully revised catalogue is available on-line. In light of this and with HALS’ agreement, the St Albans & Hertfordshire Architectural & Archaeological Society (SAHAAS) has opted to publish the following transcription of Le Hardy’s catalogue together with relevant material from the ‘Interim’ catalogue. (The latter represents a further deposit by St Albans City Council in the 1990s). For the benefit of SAHAAS members, most of whom live closer to St Albans than to Hertford, we have noted on the transcript the following additional information: 1. Microfilm numbers: much of the pre-1830 archive has been microfilmed. Copies of these films are held in the Local Studies filing cabinets at St Albans Central Library. (See column marked Microfilm/Book) 2. A transcription of the St Albans Borough Quarter Sessions Rolls, 1784-1820, was published by the Hertfordshire Record Society (HRS) in 1991. (See column marked Microfilm/Book) Finally, some of the items catalogued by Le Hardy were not subsequently deposited by the City Council.

  • Modernising English Criminal Legislation 1267-1970

E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 2, 2017 Accepted: April 19, 2017 Online Published: April 27, 2017 doi:10.5539/par.v6n1p53 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/par.v6n1p53 1. INTRODUCTION English criminal - and criminal procedure - legislation is in a parlous state. Presently, there are some 286 Acts covering criminal law and criminal procedure with the former comprising c.155 Acts. Therefore, it is unsurprising that Judge CJ, in his book, The Safest Shield (2015), described the current volume of criminal legislation as 'suffocating'. 1 If one considers all legislation extant from 1267 - 1925 (see Appendix A) a considerable quantity comprises criminal law and criminal procedure - most of which is (likely) obsolete.2 Given this, the purpose of this article is to look at criminal legislation in the period 1267-1970 as well as criminal procedure legislation in the period 1267-1925. Its conclusions are simple: (a) the Law Commission should review all criminal legislation pre-1890 as well as a few pieces thereafter (see Appendix B). It should also review (likely) obsolete common law crimes (see Appendix C); (b) at the same time, the Ministry of Justice (or Home Office) should consolidate all criminal legislation post-1890 into 4 Crime Acts.3 These should deal with: (a) Sex crimes; (b) Public order crimes; (c) Crimes against the person; (d) Property and financial crimes (see 7).

  • DRAFT VERSION 1.1 Guidance on the Control of Dogs (Scotland) Act 2010
    DRAFT VERSION 1.1 Guidance on the Control of Dogs (Scotland) Act 2010 Ministerial Foreword The Scottish Government is committed to ensuring our communities are protected from dangerous dogs and we would support any sensible and practical measures that help achieve this. That is why we, along with all other parties, supported the measures contained in Christine Grahame’s Control of Dogs (Scotland) Bill passed by the Scottish Parliament last year. We welcome the focus of the Control of Dogs (Scotland) Act 2010 ("the 2010 Act") in concentrating on the "deed not the breed" approach in tackling irresponsible dog ownership. Owning a dog brings many responsibilities for the dog owner and the 2010 Act is designed to highlight the responsibilities of dog owners by identifying out of control dogs at an early juncture and provide measures to change the behaviour of these dogs and their owners before the dogs become dangerous. The 2010 Act contains measures which will address the problems of irresponsible dog ownership and we believe this is fundamental in helping reduce the number of attacks by dogs of all breeds. The provisions contained in the 2010 Act will give additional powers to local authorities for action to be taken against out of control of dogs so as to improve dog behaviour and owner behaviour leading to reductions in the number of future dog attacks that blight our communities. Kenny MacAskill Cabinet Secretary for Justice Part A – Introduction Purpose of the Act 1. The key purpose of the Act is to promote more responsible ownership of dogs and ensure that dogs which are out of control are brought and kept under control in Scotland.

  • Policy Memorandum
    This document relates to the Control of Dogs (Scotland) Bill (SP Bill 29) as introduced in the Scottish Parliament on 22 June 2009 CONTROL OF DOGS (SCOTLAND) BILL —————————— POLICY MEMORANDUM INTRODUCTION 1. This document relates to the Control of Dogs (Scotland) Bill introduced in the Scottish Parliament on 22 June 2009. It has been prepared by the Non Executive Bills Unit on behalf of Christine Grahame, the member in charge of the Bill to satisfy Rule 9.3.3(A) of the Parliament’s Standing Orders. The contents are entirely the responsibility of the member and have not been endorsed by the Parliament. Explanatory Notes and other accompanying documents are published separately as SP Bill 29–EN. POLICY OBJECTIVES OF THE BILL AND CURRENT LAW 2. The objective of the Bill is to ensure that dogs which are out of control are brought and kept under control in Scotland. In recent years there has been a marked growth in the number of out of control dogs in Scotland. The scale of the problem can be illustrated by the number of dog attacks reported to the police in Scotland. In 1999-2000 there were 239 reported to the police with this number increasing to 623 in 2006-071, representing a 160% increase in the number of dog attacks in an eight year period. The focus of the Bill is on “deed” not “breed” and is primarily aimed at owners’ behaviour which will thereafter address the resulting behaviour of dogs. 3. Existing law concerns dangerous dogs and is contained in four UK Acts: the Dogs Act 1871(“the 1871 Act”); the Dangerous Dogs Act 1989 which amends the 1871 Act; the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 (“the 1991 Act”); and the Dangerous Dogs (Amendment) Act 1997 which amends the 1991 Act.

  • Phd Thesis Claire Lawson FINAL
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Online Research @ Cardiff Dogs and the Criminology of Control A case study of contemporary policy making in England and Wales Claire Lawson BA(Hons), MSc, PhD SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES CARDIFF UNIVERSITY 2019 ii Abstract This thesis explores the nexus of criminology and public policy analysis in order to better understand and explain the policy making processes in relation to the control of dogs in society. It does this through an empirical study of policy responses to the phenomenon of ‘status’ and ‘dangerous’ dogs in England and Wales, primarily during the past three decades. An influential body of work has suggested an expanding trend in punitiveness within Western societies over the past few decades. At the forefront of sociological thinking in this field is David Garland’s Culture of Control that theorises that the advent of late- modernity, with its adjusted macro-social conditions, has ushered in this new approach to law and order. As a theoretical scaffold, grand theories such as these can be useful, but this case study also seeks to go further into the empirical particulars of policy making in order to understand how a culture of control unfolds in relation to the lesser-explored arena of dangerous dogs. The methodological elements employed were two-fold and included both an extensive documentary analysis (including academic work, policy documents and legislation) recounted via a history of the present, and a thematic analysis produced from the empirical data of key policy actors' accounts (involving a programme of semi-structured elite interviews, n=25) gained via my unique insider-researcher access as a professional member of the dog policy network.

VVP^ THIS book is an attempt to provicre a concise law dictionary for the use of the practitioner and the student, in which the words and phrases, the rules and doctrines of the law of England, are defined and explained. Matter of mere antiquarian interest has been excluded, and space has been found to give on subjects of importance fuller notes than are usually attempted. For instance, in addition to the ordinary definition of an infant, I have endeavoured to state concisely his liability in contract and tort, with a reference to the cases. To assist the student in his reading, the more important terms of the Roman Law have been included. To write a law book without cases is like building a house without foundations. This Dictionary is unique in my experience in. giving a summary of the leading cases in all the important branches of the law. The principle laid down or exemplified by the case is stated together, where necessary, with a brief statement of the facts, and the decision.
