I could never be a superhero
my job in a sense, from Jan, will be to help prevent further crime and re-offending and to help in rehabilitation.
I am an employee of the CJS and yet i'm too much of a fucking wimp to report what I saw last night. Why?
Well if you go to the police website to report it you have to know details about the victim - their telephone number for example, the only thing I know about the woman last night is that she was wearing a light blue dress and no tights.
There are only a few options and the one that fits closest is Hate Crimes/Incidents and then you can pick what kind of hate crime it was - who it was against - was it racial, homophobic, religious, anti-disabled...what it an incident physically against a woman and verbally against many more? yes. Is there an option for this? no.
If you go to Crimestoppers you have to call them, and i'm too scared of being laughed at to be honest and i'm also scared that I will feel like some kind of CJS employee failure.
i'm a big wimp...I hate me.

Hey Grace - I like the new blog.
Happy to hear about the women's charity event and sad to hear about the mysogynist twits in the car.
Do you use MSN messenger at all?
I've moved to blogger beta and it has confused me! I've lost some of my lovely html and now it just says 'comments' how boring!
I don't use messenger anymore unfortunately - part serious overuse at uni and part not being able to bear the idea of what i've known some people to get up to on there, just don't want to be part of it!
We think the organisation we we're going to go for BSWAid (Birmingham & Solihull Women's Aid) if they're on board with our event.
"i'm a big wimp...I hate me"
