The dark vortex that emerged from this murder to destroy so many lives
Article Abstract:
Very mixed views continue to be expressed in the UK about the trial in which 10-year-olds Robert Thompson and Jon Venables were convicted of the murder of two-year-old James Bulger in 1993. Some observers believe that this crime was so evil that Venables and Thompson must be severely punished, regardless of their age and the fact that both are educationally subnormal. Others believe that the trial was a farce and that Thompson and Venables did not really understand what they were doing.

Is the Internet the best way to shop?
Article Abstract:
Electronic commerce is gradually becoming established in the UK. However, many electronic shopping sites are poorly presented, and in many cases it is only possible to purchase computer hardware or software or items that are readily available from conventional outlets, such as books. There are still considerable concerns about the reliability and security of some sites, especially those which offer no geographical information.

Killing may lead to charge of harm by internet
Article Abstract:
The events that led to Philip Hall murdering his 12-year-old daughter Emma were sparked off by hoax e-mails sent to him by employees of AB Biomonitoring, a rival of his employer. Hall travelled to India in the misguided belief that he would win a contract, and returned in a very disturbed mental state.
