In the aftermath of the horrors of Dunblane, the government rewrote the rules of gun licensing. Following the atrocious events at Hillsborough, the government and footballing authorities rewrote the rules and transformed the grounds. When Stephen Lawrence was murdered by racists, a judicial inquiry investigated policing thoroughly.
