I havent had much time for writing blogs recently, but i am 3/4 of my way through an Introduction to criminology. This has been a completely enjoyable stage. Having been working on 'the other side' for the past 30 years, this course has certainly changed my outlook and make me begin to wonder if i was on the right or wrong side of the justice system.
I am now thinking like a criminologist and scrutinising parts of my job and also now questioning the whole statutory law and in scotland the common law crimes.
this one has been a whole new journey for me and is changing my whole outlook drastically. The law makers are sometimes the lawbreakers but nothing will ever happen to them. Looking also at todays Tory government the crimes that have been committed the lies told the changes in the law so their friends do not get imprisoned, and yet, the young people who commit petty crimes against others or property get a sentence that is harsh. The unemployed, the uneducated low income or unemployed people living on the breadline and living in deprived areas are the ones that appear to be targets for 'the law' yet blue collar crime is more or less forgotten about or swept under the carpet. This has been an eye opener so far and cant wait to get it finished now.
