Thanks to Manumit:

Feminists don’t want you to know facts like this one.

Quote: They were eventually freed after Doherty made further contact with
officers to admit she had made her account up. She told police: “I was just
angry with Ben and I wanted to hurt him because we had had a row.”

Girlfriend who falsely cried rape is jailed
By Chris Irvine

A woman who tried to frame two men for rape after a row with her boyfriend
has been jailed for four months.

Dana Doherty, 22, was arrested after falsely contacting police from a
phonebox claiming her boyfriend and a friend had pinned her down on a bed
and forced her to have intercourse.

Boyfriend Ben Stanworth and Martin Massa were arrested before giving
fingerprints, being medically examined and then kept in a police cell for
12 hours.

They were eventually freed after Doherty made further contact with officers
to admit she had made her account up….(Full Story)

F4L: “…tried to frame two men for rape…” is not correct.  She did frame them!

It is a good thing that she withdrew her accusation.  If the case would have gone to trial, the two men would most likely have served quite a few years in prison, and the rest of their lives would have been in ruins.

Given her record of committing potentially fatal acts of violence (for which she got nothing more than being sentenced to community service and to a conditional sentence, with no time served, how come the judge let her off with a sentence of only four months, of which she most likely will not serve more than a month or so?

She should be locked up for a long time, for years, to keep the rest of society safe!  After all, that would have been the case if the roles would have been reversed.

Are huge charities worth the money we give them?

By Jimmy Deuchars

The big children’s charities are struggling to survive due to the credit crunch and are hitting out at the government and local authorities on child care. Are they pointing out today so strongly the authorities cannot cope or to justify their own worth?

Now is the time to examine how we donate to charities nowadays and wonder “does charity start at home?”  The big wealthy charities spend a fortune on graphic advertising using the problem of child abuse to motivate you to give a gift at Christmas or subscribe to them monthly, they use every opportunity to get you to give more and more.

The majority of your money goes on fat cat wages, advertising, staff wages, premises and training and countless other expenses. Is that how you want your money spent? How much is actually going to help the children?

What is their basic function of these big charities? A helpline like our own to refer abused children directly to social services a government organisation you pay for already. Why Social Services?  (not that they are perfect either)  but because  they are the only organisation that has the legal right to interfere in family life. The governments already have a national helpline that is very widely known and paid for by your taxes.

The bet way to protect children from neglect or abuse needs someone close to stop the abuse before it causes real damage, someone that has a very special interest in children and knows the family intimately by knowing their shortcomings.  Someone that is so close the children know them well and can find comfort in them.. This special someone believe it or not does not even have any legal right to the children. Who are they?  They are Grandparents!

“Think about it, these wealthy giants can only help after the damage to children is done.” Grandparents on the other hand have an earnest desire to protect their grandchildren before they are damaged or worse Which will cost you nothing!  Just ask your local MP MSP or member of the Welsh assembly to raise “Grandparents early detection of child abuse” in parliament, and you will be saving thousands from abuse or worse, giving them a right to a future.

Police shooting fuels Taser debate

By Angus Hohenboken and Sanna Trad

A JUNIOR police officer who shot a woman threatening police with a knife in Sydney yesterday was authorised to use a firearm but not a Taser….(Full Story)

________________
F4L: Over the last few years, and with increasing affirmative-action hiring of women as police officers, I have seen observations by a number of people who assert that, while police-men are less likely to use lethal force and instead first try to use their bodily strength to overpower miscreants to arrest them, police-women are more ready to use their fire arms to equalize for their lack of sufficient body strength.

The implications are that police-women are a greater lethal danger than police-men are to suspected criminals.

If that is truly so, then surely there must have been some studies that investigated shootings by police officers to determine which of their sexes is likely to be more lethal.

Does anyone know about current studies of that, and how they can be accessed?

One such report, a little dated, explains that female officers are somewhat more conciliatory than male officers when dealing with incidents that require their interventions, but it also states:

Findings regarding officers’ use of deadly force, however, have been somewhat mixed. Studies have shown that male officers are involved in deadly force incidents more often than female officers, but female officers who are partnered with a male officer reacted similarly to their male partners when responding to violent confrontations (Walker). In addition, a study of police officers in Indianapolis Police Department and St. Petersburg Police Department during 1996–1997 found that male officers are more likely than female officers to respond positively to citizens’ requests to control another citizen (Mastrofski et al., 2000).

Police: Police Officer Behavior -
Individual Characteristics Of Officers

The report gives the impression that it confirms the positive aspects of affirmative-action hiring, without making a strong case of presenting evidence that is either for or against affirmative evidence.  Going by that report, it seems that as far as the quality of policing goes, one could do as well with affirmative-action hiring as without it.

Perhaps someone who reads this could provide pointers to more conclusive study reports. In the meantime, the following sheds more light on the complexities of the issues involved.

A Blue Wall of Silence
With James J. Fyfe,
Professor of Criminal Justice, Temple University

Tuesday, July 3, 2001; 3 p.m. EDT

Prince George’s County police officers shot and killed people at rates that exceeded those of nearly any other large police force in the United States from 1990 through 2000. Almost half the people targeted by police were unarmed. Police officials declared all of the shootings justified but kept details about them secret.

James J. Fyfe is a former New York City police officer and is now a professor of criminal justice and senior public policy research fellow at Temple University in Philadelphia. He has served on the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies and is a former senior fellow of the Police Foundation and professor of justice at American University. Currently, he is directing a federally funded study of officers dismissed or forced to resign from the New York City Police Department….(Full Story)
