  • Crime Prevention Guide
    CRIME PREVENTION GUIDE MURDER & ASSAULT Most murder and assault victims know their attackers. Many times, the people involved in the incident are drunk or on drugs. Murder or assault can also be the result of another crime such as burglary or robbery. The victim is killed when he or she resists. Other murders or assaults happen because of some seemingly trivial confrontation that turns violent because of anger, irrational thinking, alcohol or drugs. • If you think you are in danger, go to a safe place, then call police. • Do not touch anything. • While waiting for police, you should write down the license plate numbers of any vehicles leaving the crime scene. • Make a note of any suspicious people you see in the area. • When police arrive, they will search for evidence and ask you to provide any information you may have. • If you have additional information after the officers leave, call the Criminal Investigation Division at (972) 625-1887. Investigating officers will ask victims and witnesses for details of the incident. Correct information is extremely important because it can help in making a speedy arrest and determine what charges should be filed. When the initial investigation is completed, the officer will write a report and send it to the Criminal Investigation Division. The Division will review the case, contact the victim and witnesses, file charges if possible and do everything within reason to arrest the suspect. PREVENTION • Avoid high-crime areas when possible. • If you have to travel in dangerous areas, remain alert to your surroundings. Watch for strangers who may approach you without apparent reason.

  • What Is a Hate Incident? a Hate Incident Is Any Incident (Which May
    What is a Hate Incident? A Hate incident is any incident (which may or may not be a crime) that the victim or any other person perceives to be motivated by hostility or prejudice based on one of the following things: disability race religion transgender identity sexual orientation. All police forces record hate incidents based on these five personal characteristics. What type of incidents can be a hate incident? Hate incidents can take many forms. Here are some examples of hate incidents: verbal abuse like name-calling and offensive jokes harassment bullying or intimidation by children, adults, neighbours or strangers physical attacks such as hitting, punching, pushing, spitting threats of violence hoax calls, abusive phone or text messages, hate mail online abuse for example on Facebook or Twitter displaying or circulating discriminatory literature or posters harm or damage to things such as your home, pet, vehicle graffiti arson throwing rubbish into a garden malicious complaints for example over parking, smells or noise. When is a hate incident also a hate crime? When hate incidents become criminal offences they are known as hate crimes. A criminal offence is something which breaks the law of the land. Any criminal offence can be a hate crime if it was carried out because of hostility or prejudice based on disability, race, religion, transgender identity or sexual orientation. What can you do about a hate incident or crime? If you’ve experienced or witnessed a hate incident or crime you can report it to the police. When reporting the incident or crime you should say whether you think it was because of disability, race, religion, transgender identity, sexual orientation or a combination of these things.

  • Gender, Identity Framing, and the Rhetoric of the Kill in Conservative Hate Mail
    Communication, Culture & Critique ISSN 1753-9129 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Foiling the Intellectuals: Gender, Identity Framing, and the Rhetoric of the Kill in Conservative Hate Mail Dana L. Cloud Department of Communication Studies, University of Texas, Austin, TX 78712, USA This article introduces the concept of identity framing by foil. Characteristics of this communicative mechanism are drawn from analysis of my personal archive of conservative hate mail. I identify 3 key adversarial identity frames attributed to me in the correspondence: elitist intellectual, national traitor, and gender traitor. These identity frames serve as foils against which the authors’ letters articulate identities as real men and patriots. These examples demonstrate how foiling one’s adversary relies on the power of naming; applies tremendous pressure to the target through identification and invocation of vulnerabilities; and employs tone and verbal aggression in what Burke identified as ‘‘the kill’’: the definition of self through the symbolic purgation and/or negation of another. doi:10.1111/j.1753-9137.2009.01048.x I was deluged with so much hate mail, but none of it was political ....It was like, ‘‘Gook, chink, cunt. Go back to your country, go back to your country where you came from, you fat pig. Go back to your country you fat pig, you fat dyke. Go back to your country, fat dyke. Fat dyke fat dyke fat dyke—Jesus saves.’’—Margaret Cho, ‘‘Hate Mail From Bush Supporters’’ (2004) My question to you. If you was [sic] a professor in Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Palestinian university or even in Russia. etc. How long do you think you would last as a living person regarding your anti government rhetoric in those countries?

  • Cyberbullying, Cyberstalking, Sexting & the Law
    HUMAN SCIENCES Advancing Bullying Awareness Cyberbullying, Cyberstalking, Sexting & the Law ► In this third of a five-part series, you will learn Alabama’s laws and penalties related to cyber harassment and how they apply to youth. Parents and guardians often think that cyberbullying and sexting only have short-term social and psychological consequences for their children. But cyber harassment, stalking, or forwarding sexually explicit photos to peers can have serious legal consequences for youth and families. The consequences can impact both the victim and the one doing the harrassment. It is important, therefore, for families to be aware of the laws that address cyberbullying, cyberstalking, and sexting. This article will help parents/guardians understand the legal definitions of cyberbullying, cyberstalking, and sexting, along with the Alabama laws that govern those behaviors. Cyberbullying, Cyberstalking, and Sexting Cyberbullying, also referred to legally as cyber someone shared online (home address, license harassment, is defined as using the internet (social plate number, etc.), and technological attacks media, email, etc.), cell phones, or other technology (such as shutting down a person’s social media to send text or images intended to hurt or embarrass account or creating a social media account under the another person.

  • Dvsn and Ty Dolla Ign Launch New Project With
    DVSN & TY DOLLA $IGN ANNOUNCE COLLAB ALBUM ON OVO SOUND WITH NEW SONG "I BELIEVED IT" FEAT. MAC MILLER OUT NOW LISTEN HERE DOWNLOAD ARTWORK HERE July 1, 2021 (Toronto, ON) – Today, critically lauded R&B duo dvsn and multiple GRAMMY Award- nominated hitmaker Ty Dolla $ign share their emotional single called “I Believed It.” The brand new song features a stunning appearance from the late, great Mac Miller. Listen HERE. “I Believed It” finds dvsn—the duo of singer Daniel Daley and GRAMMY Award-winning producer Nineteen85—creating a perfect landscape for Ty’s sticky, memorable vocals. Miller’s contribution is equally thrilling and heartbreaking; a captivating performance and a consistent reminder of his supreme talent. dvsn and Ty both teased the behind-the-scenes process featuring moments with Mac Miller. Watch HERE. This isn’t the first time the two parties have linked up. The single follows an exciting era for dvsn, who released their third album, A Muse in Her Feelings, in April 2020. Ty appeared on that album among an all-star cast of collaborators that included Future, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Popcaan, Buju Banton, Summer Walker, and more. The album was loved by fans by critics alike—praised as one of the best of 2020 by Complex, UPROXX, Noisey, and others. In January 2021, dvsn built on that momentum, releasing Amusing Her Feelings on OVO Sound, a sultry expanded version of their 2020 record. That project featured a new single titled “He Said” featuring Miguel and a rousing rendition of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody.” Ty Dolla $ign is coming off his critically acclaimed album, Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, released in October 2020, the title of which is a nod to his status as one of the industry’s most beloved & prolific collaborators.
