Sir Norman George Bettison, QPM (born 3 January 1956) is a British former police officer and the former Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police. He resigned〔(Sir Norman Bettison: Alleged Attempt to Influence Improperly the Decision-Making Process of West Yorkshire Police Authority ). IPCC Final Report (March 2013)〕 in October 2012 amidst controversy about his role in the Hillsborough disaster,〔 in which he was allegedly involved in the implementation of a cover-up of police errors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Hillsborough Independent Panel )〕 He remains the subject of an Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation. ==Early life== Bettison was born in Rotherham, West Riding of Yorkshire, on 3 January 1956, the son of George Bettison, a steelworker,〔Rotherham Advertiser http://www.rotherhamadvertiser.co.uk/news/85709/top-cops-disgree-over-pay-freeze-call.aspx〕 and Betty Heathcote.〔General Register Office, 1956 Births; 1952 Marriages〕 He married Patricia Favell in Rotherham in 1976.〔General Register Office 1976 Marriages West Riding〕 Bettison said that he attended football matches as a spectator from time to time, following Sheffield Wednesday. He described his experience as a 14-year-old boy watching Sheffield Wednesday vs. Manchester City on 22 April 1970 from the Leppings Lane terraces at Hillsborough stadium: "... the terraces had become so full ... there was no room to move ... I remember, at one time, being squashed against a barrier to such an extent that I was exerting all my energies to prevent injury ... I dreaded any goals or near misses as this was followed by a surge of people which caused me to be squashed painfully against the barrier. After fighting my way through a crowd I found a more comfortable position. I had been in very large football grounds before and since but had never experienced anything quite like the pressure that was created in this crowd at Hillsborough."〔(Officers Report Number R274 ). p. 16. hillsborough.independent.gov.uk〕 The experience led him to state in 1989 that "I wonder, now, whether the Leppings Lane terraces at Hillsborough is somehow susceptible to retaining the pressure created in crowd build up".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Norman Bettison」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
