No one suggests that past offending behaviour should not be available to the police or courts and that the DBS ought not to monitor employment in certain professions to protect the public. The question that ought to be asked is how many businesses not involved in professional contact with children or vulnerable people do not ask for details of previous convictions. An individual refusal Exclusion remains the single most important thing that will ever happen to you. You will never be allowed to escape from the ROA while successive governments remain fixated on initiatives.

You will spend decades belonging to pressure groups and charity registered ex-offender forums. You will deplete the worlds rain forests with the paper you use writing to your MP and it won’t change one single thing. LASPO itself will take thousands off the unemployment queues to run it. Cutbacks in legal aid will save the government millions. Certificates will provide lots of income and skills/education training and the provision of ‘mentors’ to recently released prisoners will have big business rubbing their hands at the prospect of lucrative contracts. Living with second class citizenship I hope that sometime in the future someone will explain to me why being ‘legally honest’ (obeying laws without question), will enhance my life, that of others, or will make me into the kind of person who can bring something positive into the world. In particular, I would like someone to explain to me why sitting on a council estate and being unemployed brings any benefits to the individual, or society. It is not dishonesty to refuse to disclose, it is misleading statement promoted by those who seek to further their own financial interests and careers in the field of care and control. …show more content…
It places us in a mass group and labels us. We become, in the words of Pink Floyd ‘‘Just another brick in the wall.’’ The emphasis should always be on our own individuality. No group ever succeeds, individuals succeed and some invariably fail. Aligning our future prospects with group failure and help-line platitudes isn’t a good start. If all the ex-offender charities collapsed tomorrow, would it make one iota of difference to our present circumstances? If the DBS went back to pre-Blair disclosures, would it make one iota of difference if the individual stacking shelves in a local supermarket had a previous
An Oxford University graduate, Jonathan Swift, in his article, A Modest Proposal, proposes a solution to Irelands growing poverty in the 18th century by proposing the selling and eating of innocent babies. Swift’s purpose is to state the benefits that the poor would gain from selling their one year old children to the wealthy to eat them. He takes on a concerning tone in order to convince the people of Ireland to consider and adopts his obscene plan.
In 2012 the UK Government responded to a Ministry of Justice Consultation CP(R)20/2012 (October 2012) on Punishment and Reform stating that ‘overall re-offending rates for community sentences remain too high’ and that ‘they lack credibility as effective punishment’. Further concerns included, ‘enforcement action when offenders don’t turn up for community payback’ which they deem as ‘patchy and

Following the completion of the Second World War, Scotland (and the rest of the UK) was a place where a boost in the welfare state led to penal welfarism being key, which Garland argues that ‘reform and social intervention were plausible responses to crime and that alternatives to prison were healthy’ . This ideology meant that during this period the overall consensus was that rehabilitation was more heavily used, as prisons were in many ways considered counterproductive, and a last resort. Penal welfarism focused on helping people change their behaviour and reintegrating offenders back into the community. Garland explains that significant governmental effort was ‘expended on the task of creating alternatives to incarceration and encouraging the sentencers to use them’ . For most of the twentieth century a secular shift away from custodial punishment was evident.
He was released in August 2010 and gave the home of Tia’s maternal grandmother as the address at which he would be living. He was generally compliant with the probation service throughout his time “on licence”. Standard assessments completed by probation officers during that period consistently found that he posed a medium risk of harm to the public and members of staff, and a low risk to children. The licence period expired in February 2011. The history of contact with the probation service is unremarkable, though what’s sad about this personal history is that there is nothing to suggest a particular threat to children. Although the report identifies some weaknesses in recording, there is no indication that assessments and provision made by the probation service missed any relevant information or were unsatisfactory in any

In Jonathan Swift’s satire, “A Modest Proposal”, Swift writes about the starving people of Ireland in the early 1700’s. He makes a wild and absurd proposal to help remedy the problems of overpopulation and poverty. Swift wants to make a political statement by using the “children” as satire to grasp the attention of the audience - the English people, the Irish politicians and the rich – and make them aware of the political, moral, and social problems. In “A Modest Proposal”, Swift’s arguments are presented effectively by using pathos (emotional appeal), ethos (ethics and values), and logos (logic reasoning and facts).

In order to pursue a career in fundraising, it is optimal to have an education background in programs such as business, marketing, communications, or event management. A bachelor’s degree is typically required. In addition to these courses, “industry-related training through a professional association” is highly recommended (Maggie). A course in economics is useful as fundraisers must deal with planning budgets and meeting fund goals (Fundraiser). From 2014-2024, fundraiser employment is expected to grow about 9% which is faster than average.
1. Identify the Problem As the country is progressing, the number of devices which support internet is increasing tremendously. Thus internet is of growing importance today. Also, broadband is the only mean of delivery mechanism for number of bandwidth intensive services like YouTube, Netflix etc. High speed broadband is very much essential from a commercial, educational, cultural and economical point of view.
A Modest Proposal, written by Jonathan Swift, proposes both an outrageous idea and real solutions for helping Ireland manage their overpopulated country and eliminate poverty in 1729. Swift incorporates this idea to capture the attention of the people in Ireland and England, and prove to them they need to take action. He adopts a serious yet sarcastic tone in order to convince the citizens and readers their country needs change.
I am pleased to recommend Prateek Anand, our exceptional student from Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) program in computer science. I have known him for more than 10 years, right from the time he took Introduction to Algorithms course in 2nd year of his engineering degree. I have also taken courses such as Distributed systems and Data structures for his batch. As a professor in computer science with more than two decades of experience in teaching and research, I have come across a few dozen outstanding students and he is definitely one of them. Specifically, in his batch of more than 270 students, he was among the top 2% of the students consistently and secured CGPA of 9.004 on a scale of 10.

In general, official statistics of crime recorded by the police and surveys of the public such as victim surveys and self-report studies are the three main measures of the extent of crime in Britain. The oldest method is to rely on official data collected by criminal justice agencies, such as data on arrests or convictions. The other two rely on social surveys. In one case, individuals are asked if they have been victims of crime; in the other, they are asked to self-report their own criminal activity. (Terence P. Thornberry and Marvin D. Krohn) Although these are a main secondary source of quantitative data, each of them may contain some drawbacks. Thus, this essay will introduce these three methods and demonstrates their disadvantages, such as the police crime statistics exclude the unreported and unrecorded crime;
