Comment:

Up to today, we have never communicated with Ms Mellor, indeed, she may not wish for us to do so - this, we understand - there are many vicious deceivers, out there.

However, we should like her (or her supporters) to email us, above right.

On present evidence and proof, this is a case, which must fail to pass the test.

Recording/Reporting A Complaint (Real Or Not) Is Not A Record Of A Crime

17 October 2013 Last updated at 12:34

Crime falls 7% to record low in England and Wales

"Overall crime figures have fallen to half the peak level recorded in 1995

Crime has fallen 7% to a record low in the last year, the Crime Survey for England and Wales has shown.

There were 8.5m incidents in the year to the end of June, compared with 9.1m the previous year.

The drop comes despite a 9% rise in sexual offences, which was partly driven by the Jimmy Savile revelations [?] of abuse.

Crime prevention minister Norman Baker said England and Wales are safer than they have been "for decades".

The headline crime figure is the lowest since the survey began in 1981, and has now fallen to half its peak level, recorded in 1995.

Savile effect

However, the Office for National Statistics, which collates the survey, said the number of historical sexual offences - those which took place more than 20 years ago - recorded by the police has doubled."

Ban the Box

"We call on UK employers to Ban the Box: give people a second chance by removing the tick box from application forms that asks about criminal convictions.

Research suggests that three-quarters of employers use a criminal conviction as a reason to "skip over" an applicant. But when employers Ban the Box, they allow the candidate's skills and abilities to shine through."

Censoring 'Indecent' Images Of Children - The Failed Experiment

PUBLISHED: 23:35, 15 October 2013 | UPDATED: 23:58, 15 October 2013

Prosecuting all child porn offenders in Britain would take 20 years: Protection, experts say 300million images [duplicates?] have been seized in two years.

">At the current rate it would take until 2032 to convict downloaders,
>Child abuse through social networks is also on the rise, reports charity.

At the current rate, it would take until 2032 to prosecute the child sex predators [sic] currently operating in Britain

The toll of child porn offences is now so high it would take police and the courts nearly 20 years to prosecute even those currently operating in Britain, it was claimed yesterday.

Child protection experts said the police have seized an estimated 300million indecent images in just two years - which are increasingly extreme and involving younger and younger children."

MPs approve measures to prevent child sexual abuse

"The government has lent its support to a campaign led by backbenchers to introduce new powers to prevent the sexual abuse of children.

Before the main debate on the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill got underway, several objections were raised to the timetabling of the bill. Labour forced a division on the programme motion, but lost the vote 227 to 294 .

An amendment was tabled at report stage of the bill on 14 October 2013 to enable courts to issue a "child sexual abuse prevention order"."

Member for Oxford West and Abingdon (Nicola Blackwood) for her sterling work. I pay tribute, too, to the hon.

"The Opposition support [really?] the need [sic] to amend the current law. The sexual abuse and grooming cases that occurred in Oxford shocked the country [only the ignorant], and the hon. Member for Oxford West and Abingdon has rightly gained huge respect from across the House for the serious way in which she has looked to address the issues with the Childhood Lost campaign.

Bearing in mind, it is harder to become a 'sex offender', in the USA, than it is, here.

***** 

"We must accept that most [weasel word - how many?] sex offenders continue to pose a threat to children after their initial offences."

Incorrect - lie or ignorance? Many (we are not privy, to the actual number) 'sex offenders' have never offended on minors (or adults), or ever posed a threat, greater than those presented by the general public - this is particularly true, for those related to IIOC.

"That does not, of course, mean that all offenders will reoffend, but it does mean that we should try to identify those who pose the greatest risks, and try to do everything possible to mitigate those risks [within the human and civil rights, of those people]. Labour introduced three distinct powers which were intended to control the risks posed by known sex offenders. [indeed, never to be forgotten]"

Mole Valley MP wants paedophile loophole closed

"A LOOPHOLE [sic] that allows paedophiles [sic] to legally possess written accounts [sic] of child abuse could be closed, thanks to Mole Valley's MP.

Sir Paul Beresford said such writing "fuels the fantasies" of offenders [sic] and could lead to the abuse of children [sic] – but it is not currently illegal under laws that ban photographs and videos."

"Sir Paul said his amendment would be carefully written to include nothing except material "that it must reasonably be assumed to have been produced principally for the purpose of sexual arousal" [mind-reading in court, again]."

Freedom stolen by a thief in the night

"No, the real reason it is a bad week for freedom of expression here has come much more stealthily, like a thief in the night. The threat in question is a brief measure which has passed entirely under the radar so far. I am referring to the Coroners and Justice (Amendment) Bill, which you have probably not heard about even if you live in the UK.

It is a Private Member’s Bill sponsored by Sir Paul Beresford, a Conservative Party MP, who has a track record of quietly sneaking nasty, freedom-slashing measures into law while his fellow legislators are shagging their secretaries or propping up the numerous bars in the Houses of Parliament.

Or so it seems, judging by the lack of any hue and cry over his dark deeds. Or perhaps it is just Beresford’s tactical cunning that fools them, because he presents himself not as a thief of freedom but as – this will be no surprise – a protector of children, and of decency."

Sentencing Is Becoming More Lenient?

Tuesday 15 October 2013

Interview with the Attorney General

"Duration: 28 minutes

In this week's programme, the Attorney General for England and Wales Dominic Grieve speaks to Joshua Rozenberg in an extended interview.

To begin, they discuss the issue of sentencing and the attorney general's role as gatekeeper to the appeals court. How does he go about deciding whether a sentence is lenient or unduly lenient - and therefore worthy of an appeal? What are the factors he takes into consideration? And how can members of the public make an appeal to his office, to ask for a case to be reviewed?

The programme also speaks to Lord Justice Sir Colman Treacy, a senior member of the Sentencing Council, about the council's advisory role, asking whether he thinks sentencing is becoming more lenient.

The conversation moves on to international law, and the recent raids by US special forces in Libya and Somalia, in which a suspected leader of Al Qaeda was detained. Did the United States break international law by taking such action? And what about the British government's decision to push for military action in Syria - would it have been legal?

Finally, many voices within the Conservative Party want to restrict the influence of the European Court of Human Rights. But does Dominic Grieve agree with his cabinet colleagues? He warns of the potential cost to the UK's reputation and to the promotion of human rights around the world.
