The Case of George Pell
Some people will have wanted me to give my opinion in this book about Pell’s guilt or innocence, and on whether the courts got it right or wrong. But that’s not what this book is about…I want to share what I have learned, including the facts as they unfolded. I want readers to have as much evidence as is possible before them as they consider the Pell trials. And I want any response to his conviction and appeals to be, at the very least, informed by the evidence. Guardian Australia’s Melbourne bureau chief, Melissa Davey covered Cardinal George Pell’s evidence at the royal commission into child sexual abuses, and attended each of his trials for his alleged historic sexual offences a...
Case Studies and Theory Development in the Social Sciences
The use of case studies to build and test theories in political science and the other social sciences has increased in recent years. Many scholars have argued that the social sciences rely too heavily on quantitative research and formal models and have attempted to develop and refine rigorous methods for using case studies. This text presents a comprehensive analysis of research methods using case studies and examines the place of case studies in social science methodology. It argues that case studies, statistical methods, and formal models are complementary rather than competitive. The book explains how to design case study research that will produce results useful to policymakers and empha...

Who Killed Jill Dando? the Case of Barry
In July 2001 Barry Michael George was convicted at the Old Bailey for the murder of television presenter Jill Dando. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, having been told that he was unpredictable and dangerous. The evidence against George was described as compelling, yet the case of Barry George remains one of the most controversial in British criminal history with a growing number of people believing him to be the victim of a miscarriage of justice. 'Who Killed Jill Dando?' brings the case up to date, based upon extensive research and discussions with those who know George. It presents the facts and exposes the flaws in the prosecution's case against the man now regarded by many as one of Britain's most evil murderers. If George is the victim of a miscarriage of justice then who did kill Jill Dando? While the reader may not agree with every interpretation Lomax offers, enough has been done to suggest that once again a jury may have been tempted to cross the line of reasonable doubt for the wrong reasons. - Gregory Leadbetter, Murder Most Foul.
Case of General Ople
An excursion beyond the immediate suburbs of London, projected long before his pony-carriage was hired to conduct him, in fact ever since his retirement from active service, led General Ople across a famous common, with which he fell in love at once, to a lofty highway along the borders of a park, for which he promptly exchanged his heart, and so gradually within a stone's-throw or so of the river-side, where he determined not solely to bestow his affections but to settle for life. It may be seen that he was of an adventurous temperament, though he had thought fit to loosen his sword-belt. The pony-carriage, however, had been hired for the very special purpose of helping him to pass in revie...
