Article Abstract:

An analysis of what Niall Dickson, a former social affairs editor for the BBC, has to offer the King's Fund, a think tank cum health policy research unit, following his surprise appointment as chief executive. Dickson takes over the position from Julia Neuberger, whose reign caused controversy as a result of staff cuts and reorganisation off an empire that some felt had become too disparate and needed to be more coherent.

Keeping youths on the streets

Article Abstract:

Rod Morgan took over as chief executive of the Youth Justice Board in April 2004. The Board has an annual budget of UKPd380 mil and is responsible for the UK's youth justice policy and the purchase of custodial places. Morgan believes that he will be able to reduce the number of juveniles being held in custodial places, arguing that there are more humane ways to deal with children than by locking them up.
