Policing serious public disorder: the search for principles, policies and operational lessons. [In two volumes]
No full textThe paper examines the influence of central government on the police response to serious public disorder; the effectiveness or otherwise of the law and the way in which it is used by the police in their response to such disorder, and searches for sone principles which need to be followed if the police are to maintain the general support of the communities in which they are required to act. Some comparisons are made, and differences highlighted, between the police commander in his response to serious public disorder, once it has broken out, and the military commander in battle. But, guided by lessons from history, the paper principally concentrates on the environment in which the operational police commander is required to act in responding to actual or potential serious public disorder, pointing out that he is dependant for his success on firstly, an effective system of command and control; secondly, on an intelligence system which feeds relevant and accurate information on which he can make sound and informed decisions; and thirdly, the physical resources, e.g. personnel and equipment, and the approved tactics which enable him to restore public tranquility once disorder has broken out. But before he can use the physical resources effectively, he must have a sound strategy for dealing with actual or potential disorder
Language and theology in St Gregory of Nyssa
No full textThis MA thesis focuses on the work of one of the most influential and authoritative theologians of the early Church: St Gregory of Nyssa (†396). My topic of research consists in the relationship between language and theology, as it shaped in Gregory’s polemical works against the radical Arians, in particular against Eunomius of Cyzicus (†395).The first chapter tackles the historical side of the controversy and provides the chronology of the dogmatic disputes on the dogma of Trinity following the Council of Nicaea (325). The second chapters illustrate the conflict being at stake between two theological methodologies: Gregory's grammar of thought is scriptural, whereas Eunomius' theology is much more philosophical and inflexible in its terms. Eunomius claimed that one can know God by his essence in the concept of 'ingenerate'. On the contrary, for Gregory of Nyssa, God 'is above all names'. For him, language and sexuality are realitites of the post-lapsarian world, which made human mind opaque and the exercise of interpretation indispensable. Gregory included also the episode of Babel in the genealogy of our linguistic finitude. The third and the fourth chapters focus on the relationship between language and theological knowledge in St Gregory's third book Contra Eunomium. All words used in human language - including Eunomius' concept of agennetos – have complementary meanings, since no one can describe the essence of an object or of any part of reality. On this basis, Gregory develops his 'theory of relativity' of names, which can never befit God's majesty and glory. In the last chapter, under the heading 'Pragmatics of Language', I investigate the immediate consequences of Gregory's 'theory of relativity'. Speech is treated as a sphere, which resembles the creative power of the hypostatic Word. Therefore, rhetoric becomes the perfect tool for his pastoral concern in doing theology. By choosing rhetoric, Gregory is free to start his theological argument from anywhere, since theology is a discourse about God's redemptive economy. In conclusion, I try to emphasise the actuality of Gregory's theory of names and its importance for the contemporary debates in the Church on thorny issues as Trinitarian theology or gender. I also evaluate Gregory of Nyssa's self-consistency in positive terms
A Biographical Sketch of William Edward Hearn (1826-1888): A Slightly ‘Irish’ Perspective
No full textWilliam Edward Hearn was the first Australian economist of international note. His major publication in the discipline of economics, Plutology (1863), was praised by the leading economists of the late-nineteenth century, including W. S. Jevons, A. Marshall and F. Y. Edgeworth. In this paper I trace the way in which Hearn\u27s early experiences in Ireland shaped his economic views. I argue that he was just as much an Irish economist as an Australian economist.
This Conference Paper has since been published as:
Gregory C G Moore, \u27The Anglo-Irish context for William Edward Hearn\u27s economic beliefs and the ultimate failure of his Plutology, European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, iFirst, 2009.

Unwelcome And Unlawful: Sexual Harassment in the American Workplace
No full textNearly every American woman will, at some point during her working life, be sexually harassed, according to Raymond F. Gregory, a lawyer specializing in employment and discrimination law. This book provides information for those victims as well as for those suffering same sex harassment and for male victims of sexual harassment. Gregory analyzes sexual harassment from the perspective of existing federal law and describes the legal rights that may be asserted by victims of harassment to obtain either injunctive or monetary relief. By clarifying little understood aspects of the law barring sexual harassment, the author presents an indispensable resource for victims seeking to learn what to expect from the legal system if they contest the actions of their harassers in the courts
R. Walton Moore and Virginia Politics, 1933-1941
No full textThis study is a chronicle of the efforts of R. Walton Moore and the Roosevelt Administration to liberalize the conservative Virginia Democratic Party during the 1930\u27s. Moore was an elderly politician and amateur historian who had been in and out politics in the state for over forty years. He was opposed at every turn in his efforts by state Democratic Party organization leader Senator Harry F. Byrd, and his conservative colleague Senator Carter Glass. Both Glass and Byrd opposed most New Deal legislation throughout the decade. Moore served officially as Assistant Secretary of State and Counselor to the State Department, but his unofficial role was an advocate for Virginia\u27s anti-organization Democrats. These Democrats were generally supportive of the New Deal and its programs, but wielded little political power because of the tight control with which Byrd and Glass distributed patronage. This essay traces Moore\u27s three major efforts to align the Democratic Party in the Old Dominion closer to the Roosevelt Administration
Gregory Antiochos on the "Crusade" of 1179
No full textThe author analyses the funeral oration given on January 20th, 1182 by Gregory Antiochos and tries to identify who were Manuel Komnenos's enemies referred to, as is usual in this literary genre, in a rather allusive, yet precise way. They may have included Louis VII King of France who gave up the leadership of the crusade due to illness and was replaced by Henri de Troyes, a relation of his, also referred to in the oration. The enemy in the East would be the Seljuk sultan Kilic Arslan allied with Louis VII against their common enemy, Saladin.REB 63, 2005, p. 151-166.
Andrew F. Stone, Gregory Antiochos on the «Crusade» of 1179. - En analysant l'oraison funèbre délivrée le 20 janvier 1181 par Grégoire Antiochos, l'auteur essaie d'identifier les ennemis de Manuel Comnène désignés, comme à l'habitude dans ce genre littéraire, de manière allusive, mais précise. On compterait parmi eux le roi de France, Louis VII, qui avait renoncé, en raison de sa maladie, à conduire une croisade dont il avait laissé le commandement à son parent, Henri de Troyes, aussi mentionné dans l'oraison. L'ennemi en Orient serait le sultan seldjoukide Kilidj Arslan qui se serait allié au roi Louis VII dans leur commune hostilité à Saladin.Stone Andrew F. Gregory Antiochos on the "Crusade" of 1179.
