Proposed Urban White Paper
Author: Great Britain. Parliament House of Commons. Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs Committee
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780102445008
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
The Government prides itself on its 'cross-cutting' approach, but there is little evidence of this in the preparation for the Urban White Paper. Some policies are in place which will assist the urban renaissance, but mostly the picture is more depressing. Most parts of Government appear to see urban policy, not as a means of transforming cities, but only as a way of tackling the the problems of deprived areas. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) do not appear to have the same views about the role of cities in the regional economy. The quality of people and institutions involved in urban design is critical but the funding provided by the Department of Culture Media and Sport to support them is inadequate. Worst of all, the Treasury appears to have kicked the report into the long grass. It is disgraceful that over a year after the report was published, the Treasury has come to no conclusions about the proposed fiscal measures put forward by the Task Force, and will not come to any until November at the earliest.

Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309142393
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
