Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: British police targeting would-be criminals before they offend Experts from London's Metropolitan Police's Homicide Prevention Unit are creating psychological profiles of likely offenders which will enable them to predict future patterns of behaviour. Statements from former partners, mental health workers and any previous complaints are used to compile the profiles which would identify those most likely to commit serious violent crimes. The team is currently focussing on individuals who could turn from domestic violence to murder, based on data that shows that about 25 percent of all murders are related to domestic violence, the newspaper said. "My vision is that we know across London who the top 100 people are," said Laura Richards, a senior criminal psychologist with the Homicide Prevention Unit said. "It is trying to pick up (murderer) Ian Huntley before he goes out and commits that murder. Then we have the opportunity to stop something turning into a lethal event," she added. Pilot projects to target high-risk future offenders have been operating in five London boroughs for about two months. Once an individual has been targeted, police can decide whether to make moves towards an arrest, though the newspaper did not specify on what grounds this could occur, or they could alert relevant social services. The report was met with opposition from privacy groups with Simon Davies, director of Privacy International telling the newspaper: "It is quite right that the police should keep intelligence on suspected criminals, but it is obscene to suggest there should be a ... list of those who might commit an offence."
Poster Comment: I have exactly one great grandparent of English descent which makes me one eigth Anglo, but all of me is opposed to even visiting England now that war is coming and what few civil liberties we had are up to challenged. This story makes me wonder what the people are doing over there to defend themselves. The elite must eliminate the few remaining rights we have before the dollar collapses.
