While searching for a lost cat, Jackson takes on the cold case of a girl who went missing thirty years earlier. He is also talked into helping a grieving father find the man who murdered his daughter, and tracking down the niece of a mysterious seductress.
Sunday's episode finds Brodie trying to solve the case of a girl who went missing 30 years before and helping a father (the great character actor Phil Davis) find out who murdered his daughter in his own office.
Isaacs makes an attractively moody hero, and both the supporting and guest casts are superb. That said, the episodes tend to meander slowly from plot point to plot point. Ironically, PBS is often criticized for minimally trimming its British imports to fit into an allotted time slot on American telly. In this case, you may wish the shows had been cut down to 90 minutes. Not quite, but the two-hour episodes do drag here and there.
There's nothing all that genre-busting about \"Case Histories.\" In fact, you can find some of the same basic elements in a lot of crime fiction: the loner ex-cop who's a better crime solver than the cops on the payroll and who's made a mess of his personal life; the police inspector who finds the ex-cop annoying but really likes (or in this case, secretly loves) and admires him; the aforementioned smart-ass secretary. But if you restricted yourself only to mysteries that didn't depend on stock characters, you'd have a lot of extra time on your hands.
Disc 1Episode One: Case Histories, Part 1Brodie gets a couple of new cases in quick succession. The first is for two sisters who want him to investigate the disappearance of their younger sister 30 years ago. The other case involves the distraught father of a murdered daughter.Episode Two: Case Histories, Part 2In addition to his hunt for a killer and a long-vanished young girl, Brodie takes on another missing-persons case. This time the absent youth is the niece of a woman he met in a bar, who secured his services through an unorthodox method.Episode Three: One Good Turn, Part 1On an early morning run along the coast, Brodie spots a woman's body in the water but is unable to prevent it from floating out to sea. When the police appear less than enthusiastic about investigating, Brodie decides to do it himself.Disc 2Episode Four: One Good Turn, Part 2Brodie has several questions to ponder: Why would a road rage attacker want to kill him and another bystander who witnessed the incident What does the attacker have to do with a shady cleaning business And how does it relate to the body Brodie saw in the sea Episode Five: When Will There Be Good News Part 1While investigating an apparently routine case of marital infidelity, Brodie falls into another job--tracking down a mother and her baby who, the husband claims, are staying with a relative.Episode Six: When Will There Be Good News Part 2Brodie picks up a lead on the missing mother and child, and learns that the husband knows more than he has been willing to admit. Brodie also discovers why one of his clients has been so desperate to find his wife.
Here, like Atkinson's earlier tales, were three intertwining stories - the first a case presented to Jackson, Philip Marlowe style, by a comely lady looking for her past, the second a retired police offer finding herself in a pickle after spontaneously buying a child in a public car park and, as ever, Jackson's own internal demons.
As we're used to with Atkinson's tales, the present was invariably wrapped up with the past, leaving Jackson, as customarily, to shake his head at the strangeness of folk, and somehow remain compassionate despite being foiled into first a tragic sting, and then a solid beating in a case of mistaken identity.
The first episode is entitled Getting Nothing Done because in this episode they use the first acceptance tests in FitNesse to set up the infrastructure and facilities they need to start getting real stories implemented. They do finish one story, but it's the story of the null case.
As noted earlier, descriptive epidemiology can identify patterns among cases and in populations by time, place and person. From these observations, epidemiologists develop hypotheses about the causes of these patterns and about the factors that increase risk of disease. In other words, epidemiologists can use descriptive epidemiology to generate hypotheses, but only rarely to test those hypotheses. For that, epidemiologists must turn to analytic epidemiology.
Case-control study. In a case-control study, investigators start by enrolling a group of people with disease (at CDC such persons are called case-patients rather than cases, because case refers to occurrence of disease, not a person). As a comparison group, the investigator then enrolls a group of people without disease (controls). Investigators then compare previous exposures between the two groups. The control group provides an estimate of the baseline or expected amount of exposure in that population. If the amount of exposure among the case group is substantially higher than the amount you would expect based on the control group, then illness is said to be associated with that exposure. The study of hepatitis A traced to green onions, described above, is an example of a case-control study. The key in a case-control study is to identify an appropriate control group, comparable to the case group in most respects, in order to provide a reasonable estimate of the baseline or expected exposure.
From an analytic viewpoint the cross-sectional study is weaker than either a cohort or a case-control study because a cross-sectional study usually cannot disentangle risk factors for occurrence of disease (incidence) from risk factors for survival with the disease. (Incidence and prevalence are discussed in more detail in Lesson 3.) On the other hand, a cross-sectional study is a perfectly fine tool for descriptive epidemiology purposes. Cross-sectional studies are used routinely to document the prevalence in a community of health behaviors (prevalence of smoking), health states (prevalence of vaccination against measles), and health outcomes, particularly chronic conditions (hypertension, diabetes).
In summary, the purpose of an analytic study in epidemiology is to identify and quantify the relationship between an exposure and a health outcome. The hallmark of such a study is the presence of at least two groups, one of which serves as a comparison group. In an experimental study, the investigator determines the exposure for the study subjects; in an observational study, the subjects are exposed under more natural conditions. In an observational cohort study, subjects are enrolled or grouped on the basis of their exposure, then are followed to document occurrence of disease. Differences in disease rates between the exposed and unexposed groups lead investigators to conclude that exposure is associated with disease. In an observational case-control study, subjects are enrolled according to whether they have the disease or not, then are questioned or tested to determine their prior exposure. Differences in exposure prevalence between the case and control groups allow investigators to conclude that the exposure is associated with the disease. Cross-sectional studies measure exposure and disease status at the same time, and are better suited to descriptive epidemiology than causation.
