Student Hard Times



SponsorAScholar.co.uk is a website that apparently offers female students up to £15,000 tuition fees, allegedly in return for "discreet adventures." Mark Lancaster is said to be an “assessor” for the website. He was arrested by police at Milton Keynes on suspicion of inciting prostitution and the computer consultant has been released on police bail.

A misspelling of a street address on a Northumbria Police computer entry meant that a link between the flat and the potential domestic violence perhaps contributed to a woman being stabbed to death. The IPCC said “the lack of information dictated a certain mindset for the officers.”

Crack Cop



A cop missed a burglary call because he went to his dealer to score crack cocaine. He was caught after his radio was analysed and the police found out his movements. DC Griffiths, of Chorlton, was convicted of misconduct in a public office and possessing cocaine at Manchester Crown Court. He was jailed for eight months.

Now there's damage and there is damage



So the stats show that last year a young person (under 18) was arrested every two and a half minutes. A lady on the Radio 5Live programme this morning was talking about her 11 years old having been arrested and cautioned  in 2005 for a throwing error which caused minor criminal damage. The whole process has left her and her son with not much faith in the police. Also, the DNA profile will be on the system until he pops his clogs.
So damage causes damage when the panoply of the state gets involved in criminalising our young people on relatively trivial isolated matters. HSandCo have been called to police stations to sort such cases on many occasions in recent decades. One wonders how much this had more to do with the voracious stats feeding appetite of the Government and it's quangos in all their forms.
HSandCo, in your defence.
