Firstly, the mother of teenager Ashleigh Hall, murdered by Peter Chapman after he befriended her on Facebook, told ITV's This Morning, 'He shouldn't be allowed human rights; he's not human, is he?' Then on the BBC's Ten O'Clock News Kate Carroll, the widow of Constable Stephen Carroll, murdered by dissident republicans in Northern Ireland one year ago, invited her husband's killers to try talking to politicians or to talk to her, saying she was happy to speak with them 'because everybody is a human being.' ...]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:16:43 GMT</pubDate><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=7">Crime &amp; Justice</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every Parent's Worst Nightmare]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/blog/276/every_parents_worst_nightmare</link><description><![CDATA[Following yesterday's life imprisonment of Peter Chapman for the rape and murder of Ashleigh Hall after he befriended the 17-year-old on Facebook, the social networking site is today criticised for not adding a panic button, created by the Home Office's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP), intended to help protect children online. ...]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:37:24 GMT</pubDate><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=1">Sex &amp; Families</category><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=6">Science &amp; Technology</category><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=7">Crime &amp; Justice</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[From Biofuel To Biohazard]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/blog/275/from_biofuel_to_biohazard</link><description><![CDATA[&#039;The vast scale of palm tree plantations in southeast Asia (palm oil being the most efficient source of biofuel) is having a disastrous effect on the environment, partly in the wholesale forest clearance and burning that precedes the plantation, and partly in the monoculture that replaces diverse ecosystems.&#039; (Spencer and White (2007) ...]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:43:29 GMT</pubDate><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=9">The Environment</category><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=6">Science &amp; Technology</category><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=5">Lifestyle Issues</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Home Office Sex Clash with DCSF]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/blog/274/home_office_sex_clash_with_dcsf</link><description><![CDATA[The Home Office has today published a report on the sexualisation of young people, warning that parents have limited opportunities to prevent their children from being exposed to sexual imagery.
