Safe in our cages (opinion)
Here is yet more evidence of Big Brother Britain. "In the Queen's speech this autumn Gordon Brown's government will announce a scheme to institute a database of every telephone call, email, and act of online usage by every resident of the UK. It will propose that this... The death penalty in Texas (opinion)
"Governor Rick Perry and his state’s flawed judicial system are now executing convicts for crimes they did not commit."I'm vehemently anti-death penalty. And here's one of the reasons why."Despite the fact that the death penalty is supposedly reserved for only the most... Call for specialist rape squads
Yes, yes, yes. I can't stress the importance of this enough. The current clear up rate in rape cases is horrendous - as low as 5%. "Every police force should set up a specialist squad to investigate rape allegations, a senior officer says. John Yates, who speaks on the... Bid to stop blame theory on rape
And not before time. It's truly shocking the number of people who still think that, if a woman is raped, it's her fault. And, of course, these people often serve on juries for rape trials. "A campaign is to be launched to combat the perception that women are sometimes partly...Legality of Fed Bear Stearns Bailout Challenged
"A housing and fair lending activist group has challenged the legality of the Federal Reserve's quick approval of financing for Bear Stearns via JPMorgan Chase, questioning the Fed's authority to approve the deal...Indonesian court to rule on legality of death penalty for drugs crimes
"Three members of the so-called "Bali Nine" gang of Australian heroin smugglers and two Indonesian women filed a demand in January for a judicial review by the Constitutional Court of the law that saw them sentenced... Yobbery is other people
"Poor Kathleen Jennings from Oldham. A lovely girl by all accounts, the kind of 19-year-old any of the political parties would be delighted to parade in front of Britain's feral youth as the sort of thing they should be aiming for, and not just with the unlawful weapons... More prisons are not the answer to punishing criminals, says poll
"A Guardian/ICM poll published today overturns the assumption that the public think tough prison sentences are the best way to tackle crime. It shows that a majority of voters think the government should scrap its... Feral Teens Symptomatic of Deeper British Malaise
"An 11-year-old football fan Rhys Jones is gunned down at close range near his home in Croxteth, Liverpool by a hooded youth on a BMX bike. There were witnesses, including a woman and her young daughter, but they were reluctant to come forward despite an emotional appeal from... Girls at risk amid India's prosperity
Deep breath. I found this story very upsetting. This line from the piece says it all:
"Why pay 50,000 rupees to your new in-laws when you can pay 500 rupees for an abortion?
"If you are poor in India, and you find out that your unborn child is female, it makes more... Could mothers of stilborn babies be accused of murder?
This article comes in two parts, I think. The first is about a legal statutue in Maryland, and the second is about a current case of infanticide in the courts. Alternet could have done a better job of separating the issues, but that's their business etc. My focus is on the... Criminalizing Immigrants Makes Them Easier to Deport
I've actually been suspicious that this has been happening for a while. Not only is legislation being passed which potentially makes life difficult for foreign nationals, but they have become the most likely and unfortunate target of law enforcement and criminal justice...The Right to Be a Sleazebag (part three of story)
This highlight follows on from this and this. On August 14th, McClellan was arrested for breaking the terms of his restraining order (but it shouldn’t be long before people start asking if he was really arrested because of public pressure). He’s one of the few... Restraining Order Issued Against Pedophile Blogger (part two of story)
This is a following on to this highlight. On August 3rd, Jack McClellan, the 'Pedophile Blogger' was issued a restraining order, presumably for public protection and safety. I'm undecided on whether or not the courts were correct in issuing this order: on the one hand, the... Parents’ Ire Grows at Pedophile’s Unabashed Blog (part one of story)
This is a story I've been following for some time now, and my fascination with it continues to grow.The basic story is that a self-confessed pedophile in LA, Jack McClellan, was keeping a blog about his 'interest' in children, and this (unsurprisingly) caused concern for...
