Does watching porn really turn people into violent criminals?
"One of the most controversial studies of all time – one that is often quoted by pro-pornographers – is that carried out by Danish Professor of Criminology Berl Kutchinsky. He watched the effects of legalising porn in three countries – Denmark in 1969, Sweden in 1970 and Germany in 1973.
For two decades he charted sex crimes in these territories, and concluded that sex crimes of all natures – including child molestation – fell as men had a “release” for their sexual desires before they acted on them. He concluded that free availability of porn was the “direct cause of this decrease”.

Legalizing pornography: Lower sex crime rates? Study carried out in Czech Republic shows results similar to those in Japan and Denmark
"Could legalizing pornography legal lead to lower rates of sex crimes?
A new study tackles this controversial question.
Results from the Czech Republic showed that rape and other sex crimes have not increased following the legalization and wide availability of pornography.
In addition, the study finds that the incidence of child sex abuse has fallen since 1989, when child pornography became readily accessible."

No Greater Evil, Satanic Abuse In Europe - Octopus Films, Sweden
"No Greater Evil was filmed in the U.K. in 1992 and showcased the 'evidence' which Geoffrey Dickens and Dianne Core had compiled in a four year campaign to prove that Satanic Ritual Child Abuse existed. These extracts are of interviews with Dickens (who was the parliamentary agent of Childwatch) , Dianne Core (the head of Childwatch), Jim Phillips, the doctor who created a tranche of SRA victim imposters in his private clinic (shown in these clips) but who then had a nervous breakdown and tried to kill himself and was subsequently struck of the medical register."

Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA)
"SRA is considered a moral panic and compared to the blood libel and witch-hunts of historical Europe, and McCarthyism in the United States during the 20th century.
Stanley Cohen, who originated the term "moral panic," called the episode "one of the purest cases of moral panic."
The initial investigations of SRA were performed by anthropologists and sociologists, who failed to find evidence of SRA actually occurring; instead they concluded that SRA was a result of rumors and folk legends that were spread by "media hype, Christian fundamentalism, mental health and law enforcement professionals and child abuse advocates."
Sociologists and journalists noted the vigorous nature with which some evangelical activists and groups were using claims of SRA to further their religious and political goals.
Other commentators suggested that the entire phenomenon may be evidence of a moral panic over Satanism and child abuse.
Skeptical explanations for allegations of SRA have included an attempt by "radical feminists" to undermine the nuclear family, a backlash against working women, homophobic attacks on gay childcare workers, a universal need to believe in evil, fear of alternative spiritualities, "end of the millennium" anxieties, or a transient form of temporal lobe epilepsy."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_ritual_abuse
National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC)
"During the late 1980s and early 1990s, a moral panic emerged over alleged ritual satanic abuse. The NSPCC provided a publication known as 'Satanic Indicators' to social services around the country that has been blamed for some social workers panicking and making false accusations. The most prominent of these cases was in Rochdale in 1990 when up to 20 children were taken from their homes and parents after social services believed them to be involved in satanic or occult ritual abuse.
The allegations were later found out to be false. The case was the subject of a BBC documentary which featured recordings of the interviews made by NSPCC social workers, revealing that flawed techniques and leading questions were used to gain evidence of abuse from the children. The documentary claimed that the social services were wrongly convinced, by organisations such as the NSPCC, that abuse was occurring and so rife that they made allegations before any evidence was considered."

John Mann Calls For 'Suspicious Deaths' Of Westminster Child Abuse Whistleblowers To Be Re-Investigated
"A campaigning MP has called for the reinvestigation of the suspicious deaths more than 20 years ago of two whistleblowers who he believes had significant information relating to organised child abuse by a group with alleged links to Westminster.
Labour's John Mann made the comments after he handed Scotland Yard a dossier that includes allegations about the involvement of 22 politicians - some of them apparently still serving - in paedophile [sic] rings.
He told Sky News: "What I want to see is both those suspicious deaths reinvestigated because what links them together was both were people who in essence were blowing the whistle on child abuse."

John Mann, Labour MP Exposed
Posted on November 3, 2014
"John Mann is typically what we would describe as a ‘grief vulture’. Whenever a tragic incident occurs then John Mann can be found attempting to involve himself and direct media attention towards something he’s doing in concern to the incident.
After the 1400 children were paedophilically groomed in Rotherham due to the Labour Party’s negligence and political correctness, John Mann instantly jumped on this paedophilic [sic] tragedy and attempted to exploit press attention in his direction as he publicly called for an inquiry – just as he did with the expenses scandal.
More recently in the case of Garron Helm V Luciana Berger, the Jewish Labour Party Mp we saw John Mann attempting to once again exploit press attention and declare himself as a victim of online trolling after he publicly attacked free speech and jumped to the aide of traitor Luciana Berger."

Paedophile's [sic] images of abuse victim cannot be deleted, police say
The paedophile's [sic] laptop contains images of the girl he abused
Dorset Police officers have said it would be "unlawful" to delete photos of an abuse victim from a paedophile's [sic] laptop.
The man, a family member, was jailed in 2013 for nine years after admitting a string of sex offences, including assaulting a child under the age of 13.
He has now formally requested a laptop and a mobile telephone are handed back.
Liberty, which represents the victim's family, said photos of the girl in swimwear and leotards were on the PC.
"It would be unlawful for police officers to alter the computer and phone's memories by removing the disputed photographs before returning them”
Dorset Police
Dorset Police said they could not delete the family pictures as they were not legally classified as indecent or prohibited.
As a result, the sex offender, who is in his 50s but cannot be named to protect the identity of his victim, will have access to photos of the girl and her family when he is eventually released from jail.
The victim's mother said the family had been "traumatised" by the abuse.
"I am appalled that the man who abused my child can ask the police to hand over our family photos for him to keep for the rest of his life.
"My daughters struggle every day with the devastating consequences of his abuse and this will only make them feel more humiliated and degraded.
"Why should we continue to be traumatised further?"
'Violation of dignity' [sic]
Liberty argued that the return of the computer and mobile would breach articles three and eight of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protect against inhuman treatment and invasion of privacy, respectively.
In a letter to Dorset Police, Liberty said the prospect of having the photos returned to the abuser was "causing the girls a significant amount of distress" and would be "an enormous violation of their dignity and personal integrity".
The abuse has caused the victim to suffer "enormous psychological harm" and she eats very little, self-harms frequently and is at risk of suicide, Liberty said.
Rosie Brighouse, legal officer at the organisation, said: "We urge the police to protect these victims' dignity.
"It's surely common sense that these vulnerable girls aren't degraded further?"
'Fundamental error'
In a reply, Dorset Police said "present options" were limited as the legislation used to seize the phone and computer required officers to return the property.
The force added: "Furthermore it would be unlawful for police officers to alter the computer and phone's memories by removing the disputed photographs before returning them."
The county's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), Martin Underhill, said it was not the fault of the police and has set up an e-petition to lobby to change the "fundamental error" in the law.[ah, a loophole, again]
He said: "How can we protect victims of sexual abuse if current legislation allows perpetrators to keep images of them?
"Think of the trauma this causes to the victims. And think of the control and power this gives the abuser.""

Stop sex offenders retaining photo's of their victims
11/04/2015 09:35
"Responsible department: Ministry of Justice
I have come across a case which highlights how victims of sexual abuse are being let down. This case involves a man convicted for sexual abuse. When he was arrested, his laptop was seized by the Police. Now the man is convicted, the case is over, the man is asking for his laptop back.
The laptop contains images of his victims which were not deemed indecent.
The law states that the police have to return the equipment in its original condition.
This is a Dorset case. Question? Should an abuser, be allowed to retain images of his victims? Think of the trauma this causes to the victims? And think of the control and power this gives the abuser? This is not the fault of the police. The legislation is wrong. It is double jeopardy for victim’s photos to be viewed by their abuser – it opens old wounds. Victims need better protection, Government should legislate to stop all victim images being retained by sex offenders."

12 December 2013
New sentencing guideline gives greater focus to impact [when there are none?] of sex offences [sic] on victims [when there are none?]
"The Sentencing Council has published a new sentencing guideline for sexual offences [sic] which will help ensure appropriate and consistent sentences for sex offenders [sic] .
The guideline covers more than 50 offences including rape, child sex offences, indecent images of children [N.B. not the same], trafficking and voyeurism, and brings significant changes to how offences are considered by the courts.
It marks a step forward in how courts take into account the impact [when none?] of sex offences [sic] on victims. As well as physical harm, the new approach will reflect more fully the psychological and longer term effects on the victim, enabling courts to take into account the true extent of what the victim has been through [because this cannot be proven].
The guideline also takes an expanded approach to how courts assess offenders, looking at the full context of offending behaviour and motivation in committing any offence. This means giving more significant emphasis to important aspects like grooming activity by both individuals and gangs, the targeting of vulnerable victims such as those in care and offenders’ abuse of trust and positions of power or status so that these are clearly reflected in sentence levels.
The guideline makes it clear that victims are not responsible for what has happened to them. [not 'responsible in law', but, often, participatory] This is particularly emphasised in relation to offences committed against children. In the previous guideline there were child sex offences labelled as involving ‘ostensible consent’ – that is, where a child over 13 has apparently agreed [apparently?] to sexual activity. The Council believes that this is the wrong way of looking at these offences [you mean, as the truth? - BTW, who are you to decide what is 'wrong' or 'right', in this context?] as children do not consent to their own abuse [abuse - you mean pleasure? Of course, many (likely to be the majority) consent to their participation]. The new guideline therefore looks more at the offender’s actions and behaviour towards the victim.
The new guideline also brings increases in sentencing starting points and sentencing ranges for some offences. For example, in relation to rape, the new guideline allows top category sentences with a starting point of 15 years. The previous guideline only allowed sentences with this starting point for multiple rapes. Sentences of 20 years and above are also now recommended for campaigns of rape. In addition, the worst cases of assault by penetration can now receive the same sentences as rape.
The guideline simplifies the system for assessing indecent images of children which will make analysis of imagery much easier when evidence is being compiled against someone being prosecuted. The new guideline moves away from concentrating on just the number of images [which it never did] and gives more emphasis to what the offender is doing with the images – possessing, distributing or creating – to help assess the offending behaviour and appropriate sentence level.
The guideline also takes account the increased use of technology in offending since the previous guideline was issued in 2004. In relation to many of the offences, a new aggravating factor in the guideline is of recording the crime ['taking', yes? Not 'making'] as filming and photographing victims has become more common since the previous guideline was produced.
Due to the growth in online offending, the Council has ensured that guidelines, such as for sexual activity with a child, cover offending committed remotely such as via webcam. It also takes into account aspects like offenders lying about their age, grooming via social media or asking children to share indecent photos of themselves. Factors like the encryption of imagery and recording of an offence, which is increasingly common, will also increase sentence length.
While the guideline covers the ways these crimes are committed today, it remains flexible enough to deal with future technological evolution.
Public protection is central to the guideline which reinforces the importance of proper punishment and the prevention of reoffending, either through significant custodial sentences or rigorous treatment programmes that will address the offender’s behaviour.
This is the largest and most complex guideline the Council has produced and it was created after a very substantial period of consultation with criminal justice professionals and research with victims and judges. It was also subject to a public consultation, and responses were received from a very wide range of people including groups representing victims, judges, magistrates, lawyers, the police, NGOs, the Government, academics, medical practitioners as well as the wider public. The Council has made many changes to the guideline as a result of their views, for example, to the factors that should be considered in relation to harm and culpability, sentence levels and mitigating factors. Changes include:
>allowing proper consideration of the vulnerability of the victim such as through age or disability or a background of physical or emotional abuse;
>broadening the wording of various aggravating factors to ensure they cover the great range of offending, for example in relation to abuse of trust where an offender has abused the trust that may come with status or image;
>ensuring good character can now be an aggravating factor [what???!!!] when it has facilitated an offence – such as when it leads a child to trust the offender, makes it harder for them to report an offence or be believed; and
>adding various new aggravating factors. In relation to exploitation offences, ‘threats of exposure’ to family or others is now included to cover situations where this is used as a further means of controlling victims.
Chairman of the Sentencing Council, Lord Justice Treacy [Establishment Stooge] said:
“This guideline will make real changes to the way offenders are sentenced for these very serious, sensitive and complex offences. It will help judges and magistrates sentence in a way which protects our communities from this kind of offending and the suffering it causes.
“We have taken on board the views of victims, criminal justice professionals and the wider public to produce an approach to sentencing which people can understand and have confidence in. This approach will enable sentences that reflect what the victim has been through and take in a full profile of what the offender has done, such as grooming victims or abusing trust.
“No one wants more people falling victim to offenders who come before the courts, and public protection is central to this guideline, whether this is by jailing offenders or, where appropriate, imposing a rigorous treatment order and other restrictions to prevent reoffending.”
National Policing Lead for Violence and Public Protection Chief Constable David Whatton said:
“The new guidelines from the Sentencing Council show how well the Council listened during its consultation. The guidelines complement the new CPS and College of Policing guidance and are indicative of the move across the criminal justice system to ensure that police, prosecutors and judges take a victim-centred approach when dealing with sexual offences while still ensuring the integrity of the justice system.
“Across the justice system, changes have been made to ensure that the alleged offenders’ behaviour and the context and circumstances of the incident are scrutinised, rather than the credibility of the victim. These changes are intended to ensure that across the board our response to sexual offenders is robust and victims get the support they need. The new Sentencing Council guidelines will ensure offenders who are brought to justice are dealt with appropriately.”
Barnardo’s deputy director of strategy Alison Worsley, said:
“It is difficult to imagine the torment experienced by the vulnerable victims of crimes such as these. The publication of this new sentencing guideline will help to ensure the focus is on the perpetrator and not the victim.
"As the guideline emphasises, it is plain wrong to imply in any way that the experiences of sexually exploited children are something they bring on themselves. Barnardo’s Remember They are Children campaign showed that no child can ever truly agree to their own abuse. “If we are to turn the tide in the fight against these awful crimes it is vital that victims feel they will be taken seriously and dealt with sensitively at all levels of the justice system.”
The guideline will come into force in courts in England and Wales in April 2014 and replace existing guidance which was issued by the Sentencing Council’s predecessor body following the Sexual Offences Act 2003. Sentencing levels for sexual offences have been increasing since the Act, and existing sentencing guideline, came into force, and the new guideline reflects these increases. They do not include any reductions in sentences from current sentencing. [what a surprise, there is the unaccountable mission creep]
The new guideline covers 54 very varied offences and aims to ensure appropriate sentences are given for the wide spectrum of offending that takes place. However, where judges feel that they are dealing with an exceptional case, they can sentence outside the guideline ranges and up to the maximum permitted by law.
They will apply to all adult offenders, regardless of when offences took place, so while offenders will be subject to the law at the time of the offence, the guideline will bring a modern [regressive] and victim-focused [not rights-focused] approach to how historic offenders are dealt with by the courts."
Sentencing Council launches new definitive guideline for sexual offences; 12 December 2013
"Today, the Sentencing Council is publishing a new guideline for judges and magistrates on the sentencing of sexual offences.
The new guideline, which has been issued following a public consultation [sham], will come into effect on 1 April 2014."
