The Ministry of Justice are reviewing whether Jon Venables should be released from prison. Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, were jailed in 1993, both 10 years old at the time, after being found guilty of murdering two year old James Bulger. The two were release in 2001 but Jon Venables recently broke the terms of his release by being found in possession of child pornography.
The Ministry of Justice will decide whether to keep Jon Venables in prison or release him on the terms of his original release. The decision will be subject to the severity of this recent offence, and whether Venables is at risk to the general public.
There are divided opinions on whether Venables and Thompson should have been released in the first place. Being as they were 10 years old at the time of committing murder, an opportunity was made available to them to restart their lives. Many believe that breaking the terms of release in a case of this magnitude warrants severe punishment and that ‘release’ should even be entertained as an option.

Last week a young boy of 5 was kidnapped while he was holidaying in Jhelum in Punjab. He was snatched by a group of kidnappers while he was at his grandmothers just as preparations were being made to take a taxi to the airport to return to the UK. Sahil Saeed is from Oldham in Greater Manchester and his father has suspicions that is that the kidnapper is someone close to the family. Mr Mailk has now returned back to the UK. Four policeman who didn’t respond to the emergency call have been suspended. Several men and the taxi driver have been arrested and are being interrogated.

Dulmatin’s body, the last remaining suspect of the Bali bombings carried out in Bali, Indonesia back in 2002 has been confirmed and identified by the police.

Dulmartin was suspected of planning the attacks and the news of his death was announced by the Indonesia’s president. Out of 202 victims which were killed by this bombing, half were Australian.
DNA tests on the body of a man killed in Jakarta prove beyond doubt he is Dulmartin, the last main suspect of the Bali bombings, Indonesian police say. Dulmatin was shot at a internet café and his body can be confirmed by DNA. He was named as being a leading member of a militant group with links to al-Qaeda and with a long history of launching attacks in Indonesia.

In England and Wales a recent survey has shown that in the last 20 years the number of murders and manslaughter has dropped by 17% to a low of 648.
In 2008/9 there has been 136 fewer killings compared with a year earlier. However – theft related crime has risen which includes domestic burglary up by 1% and shoplifting by 10%. Other offences such as women raped has increased by 5% to 12,165. The statistics have been taken also taken a sample of adults and asked them on their experiences of crime – individually there has been a rise of 25% in theft such as pick pocketing and handbag snatches.

Labour has recently launched a new campaign which puts forward recommendations to scale back CCTV cameras and make it harder for the police to use DNA to catch criminals. This has revoked anger in the Tory party as they are claiming Labour is being weak on crime. The Tories have maintained for a long time now that violent crime has risen which is backed up by a analysis in the House of Commons library produced in response to a request by a Member of Parliament.

This is yet to be published in full but suggests that offences against individuals rose from 618,417 in 1998 to 887,942 last year.

The Tories are claiming that under the Labour Government violent crime has risen and this is visible by the latest official figures.  From the House of Commons library data obtained by the party shows a 44% rise in crime between 1998 and 2009.  However Labour are defending there position by saying that under there government violent crime is on a downward trend with half a million fewer victims.  The watchdog overseeing this area have also commented that Conservatives should not rely on a single set of statistics.  The UK statistics Authority, has been set up by the government to ensure that the correct use of figures has sent a warning about using data from other surveys which can produce a distorted view.

About a year ago, there was a shop in Bolton (UK), where a masked man went into a newsagents, put one of them large 100 shooter fireworks on the ground and… LIT IT!! And then he runs out of the shop.

Basically, then fireworks started to fire up everywhere in the shop and the owner was shaken but luckily he managed to kick the fireworks out of the shop.

Search for the video on the Internet.

OK, many people might find this funny but is it really a good thing? A joke can be good but when it’s taken too far then it’s not. Anyone who finds this humorous should consider the owner.

We here daily in the media of many knife crimes where many lives are lost and people are put in pain and hospitalised.

The question many people ask is what are the police doing about it? Some people are of the opinion that they do nothing. This is wrong.

The police are trying to decrease knife crime and that is good however it is not being done in the right manner. I won’t go into this too much but we also have to do our bit and tell our friends and young ones about the great dangers and harms of carrying a knife.

fan who ran onto the pitch during the Manchester football derby game between the long reigning Champions Manchester United and the newly cash rich but long suffering now new pretenders Manchester City, has been banned today from attending matches for three years.

The 21 year old man Jake Clarke was confronted by Craig Bellamy. While Jake was safely restrained by stewards he was hit in the face by the extremely brave Manchester City player Craig Bellamy.

His over excitement and joy of the occasion prompted him to run onto the pitch as he just wanted to celebrate with the players was his claim. However he has admitted he knows that his actions that day were stupid.

Craig Bellamy remains unscathed physically and criminally!

This man is so charming that convinced his jailers in the UK into helping him escape from prison. However he has been recaptured and has been arrested in the US.

Who is this criminal mastermind? His name is Juan Carlos Guzmán-Betancourt, who is well known for using his good looks (each to their own I suppose) and charm to steal from the bedrooms of the wealthiest of guests at luxury hotels.

He was caught at the US border coming in from Canada. Even then he tried to talk his way out of his arrest, attempting to convince a border guard that he was not wanting to enter the country but was only seeking help for a broken-down car.

He has been likened to master US conman Frank Abagnale, portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the film Catch Me If You Can. He is thought to have had at least 10 aliases.
