Excess winter deaths rose by a third last winter :: Conclusion
If you are 65 or over, it is important to spend most of your time in a warm environment during the winter months. There are a number of things you can do to cope in cold weather.

'We police it ourselves': Group processes in the escalation and regulation of violence in the night‐time economy :: Abstract
The attempt to regenerate city centres has led to the creation of a 'night‐time economy' (NTE) based around alcohol‐led entertainment. This has been accompanied by an increase of violence. Using insights from social identity research on collective action, we argue that NTE violence can be viewed as a group‐level phenomenon. Twenty focus groups were conducted with participants who socialise together (total number of participants = 53). Participants discussed their experiences of the NTE, including violence. A thematic analysis of the transcripts drew out four ways in which NTE violence is discussed in group terms: intergroup violence, intragroup violence, intragroup intervention (escalation) and intragroup intervention (regulation). The analysis reveals that groups ca...
