| | James Bulger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The European Court case led to the new Lord Chief Justice, Lord Justice Woolf, reviewing the minimum sentence imposed. | | | James' mother, Denise Bulger, was given £7,500 criminal compensation from the government. | | | In June 2001, after a six-month review of the case, the Parole Board ruled the boys were no longer a threat to public safety and were thus eligible for release now that the minimum tariff had expired. |

| | Human Rights Act 1998 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The James Bulger murder case tested whether the Home Secretary, a politician, was the right person to have the final say on the length of life sentences, or whether this infringed the perpertrators' right to a fair trial. | | | The first case invoking the act was brought by The Times in October 2000 which sought to overturn a libel ruling against the newspaper involving the murder case. | | | The act specifies that an individual claimant, not a pressure group or similar organisation, must bring a case to court. |

| | The James Bulger case kick-started a string of responses including policies regarding young offenders and the criminal justice system's view on how to deal with them. | | | Youth crime although common for a long time, was brought to everyone's attention in the case of the James Bulger Murder in 1993. | | | Thirdly, it made it possible to implement new tougher justice procedures for young offenders throughout most of the 1990s. |

| | Reality. Issue 46: The Murder of James Bulger, by Stephen May |
| | Stephen May has resigned his post as Lecturer in Systematic Theology at St John's College, Auckland and is returning to the United Kingdom in July to take up a post as a Church of England Vicar in the North of England (St Paul's Norden and St James' Ashworth). | | | The 1993 murder of two-year old James Bulger by two schoolchildren in Liverpool has been in the New Zealand headlines recently for two main reasons: firstly, because of the suggestion that New Zealand might be asked to 'host' the newly-released murderers, and, secondly, because of the threats of revenge by vigilantes, infuriated by their release. | | | But, as in that case, critics show that idolatry is at work where people dare to stand in judgement, to usurp God's role as Judge, and to take for granted his loving mercy to them. |

| | But well-known names from children's literature tackle murder cases in two whodunits, one each by Susan Wittig Albert and Jasper Fforde, that are among the latest hardcover novels of mystery and suspense. | | | If the Grimms took pains to eliminate raunchy folk humor from the narratives, they insisted on keeping the violence, in some cases intensifying it and surrounding its effects with an intoxicating verbal shimmer. | | | Framing fairy tales with platitudes about obedience (those efforts continue today in the anthologies of children's literature produced by William J.

| | What is more, people are aware of this darker side to children, and fear it, something he feels was highlighted in Britain by the James Bulger murder, a case which he admits fascinates him. | | | Calder believes that our contemporary vision of children is wishful thinking, that in reality the "world of childhood is dark and wonderful, a mixture of casual brutality and total wonder at the world." So " a lot of my work deals with the perspective of childhood, red in tooth and claw." | | | Although the actions of Ignatz Zwakh and Primavera are as nothing compared to the ghettoisation of youth and the mass slaughter of dolls - girls infected by the Cartier nanovirus - by an adult world fearful that its youth is about to destroy them. |
