Morning Folks, Many of you will be following the furore over the Hate Crime Bill in Scotland and the role of the police. The drive for the police service to embrace change in the last few decades came ultimately from a need for increased efficiency and effectiveness. Somewhere this fact has become lost, and we have cops dancing while crime goes undetected, unreported, and resources are directed towards 'hurt feelings and offense'. There is nowhere more at the eye of this storm for policing than here in Scotland. Last night I discussed this with Nick Abbot on LBC Radio (link in comments below to the interview). In my latest article, published this morning by Policing Insight, I explore how we got to this point, and the confusion that has arisen between causation and correlation. Hope it is a good read. Registering with Policing Insight for access is free. If for any reason you cannot register a link for access to the article, in addition to my LBC interview, follows in the comments below. #police #scotland #crime #hate #equality #diversity #inclusion

🔍 How effective is stop and search at reducing violent crime? The YEF Toolkit shows stop and search reduces crime by 13% (global evidence), and by 5% (UK evidence). It also reviews racial disproportionality in the use of stop and search and the impact on Black and minority ethnic children. A summary on implementing effectively: ➡️ Focus on targeted, intelligence-led approaches ➡️ Ensure officers are well-trained and follow best practices like those from the College of Policing ➡️ Build trust by involving the community through scrutiny panels that review cases.

Galatians 6:7 states, "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." In Matthew 26:52, while speaking to Peter, Jesus addressed the crowd, saying, "Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword." My brothers and sisters, I write to you with a heavy heart and a resolute spirit, to address a big issue that plagues our society and undermines the very fabric of our democracy: gun violence. In our political system, there is no room for violence of any kind, let alone gun violence. Our nation was built on the principles of dialogue, debate, and the peaceful exchange of ideas. These are the pillars of our democracy, and they are threatened when violence enters the equation. We must remember that the essence of our political system is to represent the people, to listen to their voices, and to work together to find solutions to our common challenges. Gun violence has no place in this process. It silences voices, breeds fear, and disrupts the path to progress and justice. It is our collective responsibility to foster a political environment where ideas can be expressed freely and safely. We must ensure that our leaders, activists, and citizens can engage in meaningful discourse without the threat of violence. This is not just a matter of policy, but of principle. We owe it to ourselves, to our children, and to future generations to create a society where differences are settled with words, not weapons. Let us commit to stronger laws, better enforcement, and a culture that values life and respects differing viewpoints. The path forward is clear. We must come together, across party lines and ideologies, to address the root causes of gun violence and to promote a society where safety, respect, and peace are paramount. Let us rise above the turmoil and reaffirm our commitment to a democratic process free of violence. In doing so, we honor the legacy of those who fought for our freedoms and we pave the way for a brighter, safer future. #BeStrong #TGBTG #NAP #gunviolenceneedstostop

In a legislative meeting today, I discussed how woefully inadequate our state support systems are for victims of hate. This is a game changing piece of legislation that will immediately make an impact in people's lives. It's how we envision #TheFutureOfFightingHate. Learn more about the legislation that the team has worked so hard to push over the last two years in this video featuring Miri Cypers and Fay Stetz-Waters!
Please take a moment to watch my story, and the story of fellow advocates, who are envisioning "The Future of Fighting Hate" in this new short film we produced. As ADL Pacific Northwest continues to push for a Statewide Bias Helpline in Washington, we see a future in which fighting hate is not only about accountability in our laws but supporting those in greatest need with immediate support and resources. Take a watch and share your thoughts! To learn more about our anti-hate agenda in Washington State, visit fighthatewa.org. Thank you Judy Shepard, Rais Bhuiyan and Fay Stetz-Waters for your voices and activism. Thank you 6162 Productions for your masterful work. #TheFutureOfFightingHate

Policing’s growing focus on equality, diversity and inclusion, and fears that officers will be increasingly dragged into adjudicating “abusive spats” online under Scotland’s new Hate Crime Act, are the latest example of a wider debate that needs to be had, argues former Police Scotland Superintendent Martin Gallagher PhD – one which considers what the police are really for, and the danger that policing’s key purpose is being sidelined in favour of diversity. ❝The Association of Scottish Police Superintendents has a concern that individuals who could be described as the ‘activist fringe’ of particular viewpoints… will seek to ‘weaponise’ the new legislation and associated police investigation.❞ - Ch Supt Rob Hay, Association of Scottish Police Superintendents ❝A question no one seems to want to address is, ‘What about efficiency?’ Should the police be permitted to become less effective at addressing their core roles in order that they become more ‘diverse’?❞ ❝Groups that were formed to challenge vested ‘elites’ have come to resemble the very ‘elites’ they sought to challenge, with duty time, preparation for promotion, and conferences on subjects one must seriously question are of any value whatsoever to policing’s core purpose – tackling crime.❞ ❝I dread to think how long it will be in Scotland before we have an officer wish to don his sash or parade with sunglasses and a beret in part of one of our native celebrations of ‘diversity’ that unfortunately largely relate to the Orange Order or Irish Republicanism.❞ https://lnkd.in/eXxQmymS #lawenforcement #policing #police #diversityandinclusion #equality #diversity #inclusion
