This paper evaluates the theory and evidence on territorial justice. The problems of defining and measuring service needs and service provision are outlined, and the statistical criteria for territorial justice are analysed. The empirical evidence on the spatial relationship between needs and provision is critically reviewed for four services in the U.K.: health care, education, housing and the personal social services. Several shortcomings in the evidence suggest that the extent of territorial justice has been underestimated. In particular, the empirical studies have not recognized that the statistical condition for territorial justice depends on the dimensions of needs and provision which are compared.

Electoral data for the US Congress for the period 1850 to 1980 are analyzed. We distinguish two important features of the seats-votes relationship that are often confounded: swing ratio and partisan bias. The swing ratio and electoral bias are shown to be a product of the shape of the constituency partisan distribution (CPD). We confirm earlier research showing that the decline in the congressional swing ratio noted by Tufte (1973) and Calvert and Ferejohn (1984) among others can largely be attributed to a reduction in the number of competitive House seats which has been ongoing for at least 70 years and has, for the entire country, exhibited a near straight-line decline in moving average over virtually the entire period. But, following Gudgin and Taylor (1979), we also show that the swing ratio is responsive to the kurtosis of the distribution of Democratic vote share across congressional districts. Finally, we show that partisan bias is responsive to the skewness of this distribution.

Social scientists know that one person's ‘truth’ may be another person's ‘propaganda’. Both (and also other) perspectives may be valid… Legitimate differences of opinion are to be expected, respected and encouraged—unless there is a bogus basis to the research and thus ‘findings’. It is hoped that scholars in all states will always he open to accepting others' views and that research will not be condemned just because it is ‘different’ or perhaps because of the respective state in which the scholars live. (Knight, 1990).
