Automatic Identification of Information Quality Metrics in Health News Stories
Objective: Many online and printed media publish health news of questionable trustworthiness and it may be difficult for laypersons to determine the information quality of such articles. The purpose of this work was to propose a methodology for the automatic assessment of the quality of health-related news stories using natural language processing and machine learning. Materials and Methods: We used a database from the website HealthNewsReview.or…
Adam Kilgarriff
A long time ago now (maybe 1988?), Gerald (Gazdar) and I supervised Adam's DPhil at the University of Sussex. Adam was my age, give or take a year, having come to academia a little late, and was my first doctoral student. Adam's topic was polysemy, and I'm not really sure that much supervision was actually required, though I recall fun exchanges trying to model the subtleties of word meaning using symbolic knowledge representation techniques—an e…
Vulnerable and Intimidated Witnesses and the Adversarial Process in England and Wales
This article presents findings from recent Home Office-funded empirical research into the implementation of special measures for vulnerable and intimidated witnesses by the criminal justice agencies in England and Wales. It uses those findings to examine the argument that features of the adversarial process, such as the principle of orality, inevitably prevent vulnerable and intimidated witnesses from giving their best evidence, whatever modifica…

It first assesses the current nature, structure and development of the Chinese infectious disease system, and then evaluates the state response to infectious disease epidemics. Turning to the role of non-state actors, it discusses their contributions to the state's efforts. Following a case study of Shaanxi province, it concludes that the SARS ou…

Police interrogations and the Royal commission on criminal Justice∗
This paper examines the Royal Commission's response to research which it commissioned on police interrogations. It draws attention to the potential for miscarriage of justice in relation to cautioning, which is the major disposal for juveniles, and which takes place behind closed doors. In these circumstances confession evidence, which is often the main or sole evidence, is not subject to public scrutiny. It notes problems in relation to intervie…
Variations in Police Cautioning Policy and Practice in England and Wales
The research described in this article was commissioned by the Home Office Research and Planning Unit. It was designed to assess the impact of new guidelines on police cautioning, issued to chief constables in the form of Home Office Circular 14/1985, and to provide a more general review of police cautioning in England and Wales. Inter‐ and intra‐force variations in cautioning rates, policy and practice are described and some suggestions made abo…
