http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22346971 End Quote Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan"That's bad for justice, bad for victims and goes against all the evidence." Peter Neyroud, former chief constable of Thames Valley Police, told the BBC that three conditions had to be met for restorative justice to be an option - low-harm offence, the offender had to accept their guilt and the victim had to consent. He said some cases which used restorative justice "didn't look right" and he expressed particular concern about domestic abuse incidents, saying there was an issue with the "genuineness of consent".

Who would bother As far as i ca…

http://news.sky.com/story/1087279/white-britons-in-retreat-from-minority-areas An interesting article about the lack of integration between white Britons and ethnic minorities. Labours immigration policy is being blamed for it but is it more a case of white Britons refusing to integrate or is it white Britons being forced out by immigrants?

A 47-year-old police sergeant died while on duty on Friday evening. Sergeant Ian Harman suffered a suspected heart attack while sat at his desk at the Merton Park and Cannon Hill Safer Neighbourhoods Team base, in Aberconway Road, Morden, at about 5.30pm on May 3. Despite the efforts of his colleagues and the London Ambulace Service, they were unable to save him. Sgt Harman served in the Metropolitan Police Service for 24 years and had been based in Merton for the last five. The flag at Wimbledon Police Station is at half-mast today in his honour. http://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/local/wimbledonnews/10403318.Police_sergeant_dies_of_suspected_heart_attack_at_h…
