Since the government published its lifetime homes strategy this year, the focus has shifted to home improvement agencies (HIAs) to help find (some) of the answers to housing an ageing population. In this first article, Malcolm Ramsay, Policy, Communications and Research Manager for Foundations, the national coordinating body for HIAs in England, describes what the future may look like for the sector.

Le crime, tel que ce terme est entendu de nos jours, revêtit son entière signification à une époque donnée dans une société donnée. L'idée de crime comme phénomène social général fit son apparition en Angleterre vers la fin du dix-huitième siècle. Cet article étudie la genèse du crime en tant que concept, mettant en contraste la notion changeante de crime au dix-huitième siècle avec celle du vingtième.

ABSTRACTFormal narrative descriptions of primates have long been used by primatologists to describe novel events that are not captured by other data collection methods. However, there has been a shift away from narrative accounts toward more quantitative methods both within primatology and more broadly in the natural sciences. Our objective was to investigate the shifting use of anecdotal evidence in primatology. We systematically reviewed anecdotal accounts published in the four major primatology journals since the year 2000. We found 163 published anecdotal accounts out of 3,960 total articles published between 2000 and 2016. There was an overall decrease in the rates of anecdotes published during this time. Those published covered a wide range of topics and taxa but were skewed toward larger, diurnal primates—in particular, apes. We suggest that anecdotal evidence should continue to be published but that the publication of these data should better reflect the taxonomic diversity of primates. We also suggest potential venues for anecdote publication that may compensate for their loss from formal scientific journals. [narratives, qualitative data, anthropomorphic, primates, observation]
