 William Vernon Harcourt (politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was the second son of the Rev. Canon William Vernon Harcourt, of Nuneham Park, Oxford, himself the fourth son and eventually heir of Edward Harcourt, Archbishop of York.
He was recognized as one of the ablest and most effective leaders of the Liberal party; and when, after a brief interval in 1885, Gladstone returned to office in 1886, Harcourt was made Chancellor of the Exchequer, an office which he again filled from 1892 to 1895.
As Harcourt himself was a second son, and thus unlikely to ever have to pay such duties himself (though this proved to not be the case), it was often quipped that this introduction was a "second son's revenge".

 Law professor Harcourt challenges popular policing method, gun violence interventions
Harcourt draws on criminal law and procedure, police and punishment practices, political and social theory, and criminology to seek answers and solutions to crime.
In his research on broken windows policing, Harcourt employed detailed statistical analysis to demonstrate that there is, in fact, no measurable link between neighborhood disorder and the incidence of crime, and that broken windows policing results in numerous negative consequences.
Harcourt said media coverage, political debate and public concern have resulted in “a staggering number and variety of public policy interventions to reduce the availability of firearms to potential gun offenders and youths.” He said these intervention measures have had wide-ranging repercussions in the criminal justice system and throughout society.
