Sharp division on solution to the crisis of family life
Article Abstract:
Politicians debate the moral aspects of financial support given to the 1.3 million one-parent families in the UK. Over two-thirds of single parents are divorced or separated, rather than unmarried teenagers. The director of the Institute of Economic Affairs free-market think-tank Dr David Green suggests unmarried mothers should live in hostels to qualify for benefits and fathers should be forced to take responsibility. His opponent John Perry, director of the Institute of Housing, disapproves of moral judgements in housing allocation.

When have a go means death
Article Abstract:
There have been a number of cases over recent years in which an intruder has been attacked by a householder. Most recently, Robert Ingham, who is alleged to have been committing a burglary, died after being attacked by Nick Baungartner, the householder. These cases present considerable legal difficulties. In the past, the attacker has not been prosecuted, but more recently the UK government has stated that the person who has been attacked should be treated more sympathetically by the police.
