Why police show a red card to this hooligan's book

Article Abstract:

Paul Dodd, a member of the football hooligan group Carlisle's Border City Firm, plans to have his book, thought to be entitled 'Serial Adventures of a Soccer Yob,' published very shortly before the start of the finals of the 1998 World Cup. Police have warned that the anticipated large number of books and articles written by football hooligans seeking to derive benefit from their activities at the time of the World Cup could prompt violent conflict. The National Criminal Intelligence Service has appealed to media outlets not to publish material from hooligans.

Rising tide of crime swaps S African police

Article Abstract:

South Africa now has extremely high levels of violent crime, and ordinary people have lost their faith in the South African Police Service. Some observers believe that a state of emergency should now be imposed, and both black and white South Africans are calling for the death penalty to be re-introduced. The South African Police Service has been placed in an almost impossible position because it is attempting to deal with violent crime while also transforming itself into a non-racist organization working for the citizens, rather than against them.

Gay police in pink over first job advert

Article Abstract:

Gay police officers have warmly welcomed the move by Sussex Police to advertise for homosexual recruits in a gay newspaper. However, there is still some opposition among heterosexual officers to the Lesbian and Gay Police Association (Lagpa), and some believe that gays should not become police officers because they could fall victim to corruption. In contrast, others believe that police forces should align themselves with modern attitudes to homosexuality.
