Ched Evans
Should a convicted rapist be allowed to return to his job as a professional footballer –
Dear Editor of the Daily Sun, I am writing to inform you that I Zaynab Hafeji, a fellow student at Pleckgate high School, would like to express my perspective on why I consider Ched Evans, a ‘convicted’ rapist, should unquestionably be allowed to return to his job/career as a professional footballer.
You may think who in the right mind would possibly want a ‘condemned’ rapist out, back into the streets, as if nothing had ever happened! Well as I have stated several times above Ched was only convicted. There are many people who are wrongly accused of crimes they didn’t commit. Surely a two-year sentence has wrecked any future aspirations for Evans and most definitely tarnished his reputation. Isn’t that enough? It’s inevitable that the main logic of going ‘behind bars’ is to punish/penalize an individual for any wrongdoing. But also for them to look at life from a different perspective.
He spent an approximate of 730 days, in prison away from all his loved ones, for a crime he may not have committed. And now, he’s got the likes of Jessica Ennis displaying her animosity publically causing a vile spat directly to Ched!
I hope you take my views on this severe matter, and take it into consideration!
Yours Sincerely Zaynab Hafeji

    A Pennsylvania (Penn) state assistant, Mike McQueary, claims to have witnessed Jerry Sandusky raping a ten-year-old boy in the shower. Sandusky (former Defensive Coordinator) was a wellrespected member of the Penn State community and good friend to Joe Paterno (former Head Coach). McQueary reported the crime immediately to Paterno.

    In the case of Brock Turner and his execrable decision to rape an unconscious woman outside a fraternity house at Stanford University is most appalling and like any crime committed the consequence should be given in order that, that particular offender might have time to reflect on what they have done. In this particular case Turner has proven that the term rape is deemed so little in the eyes of the law. Instead of receiving a six year sentence he was simply given six months in an institution. Six years or six months no matter the sentence that young lady will be forever be scarred by what he has done to her physically, and emotionally. In her recent statement she said “My independence”, natural joy,gentleness,and steady lifestyle I had…

    In the September 6 issue of the LA Times, reporter Sarah Parvini published an article about a former rapist registering as a sex offender, and his sentence. Ex-Stanford swimmer, Brock Turner, was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman behind a dumpster. The woman was completely unconscious and due to this, he was charged with three felony counts: assault with the intent to commit rape of an unconscious person, sexual penetration of an unconscious person and sexual penetration of an intoxicated person. Turner originally faced 14 years and jail but got 6 months instead. He was later released 3 months earlier than his 6-month sentence because of good behavior.

    As you may know there are many people enraged about the decision that was made with the case of Brock Turner. Riots and other violent methods have been used to get certain points across; and I believe the best way to appropriately get points across with you is writing a letter. There have been accusations made claiming it was a case of male and class privilege. Was the six-month confinement in a county jail and three years of probation enough for the crime that Brock Turner committed? I understand that sanctions vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but sexual assault is something to be taken very seriously no matter the outcome of the situation, in this situation hurting the athlete’s reputation…

    The removal of the Bill Cosby statue is just one stepping stone in the list of bad news involving this celebrated comedian. It has come to light through reports from over two dozen women that he assaulted them. He admitted contributing false responses and denials to serious allegations when questioned about them. While he continually voiced his opinion by brushing the allegations under the rug, taking the assault on his character lightly there is now proof that his actions weren’t pure or morally proper when it came to young women he once worked with.…

    Shaming in some cases “doesn’t seem to hurt as much as imprisonment” (573); imprisonment not only makes the offender feel the shame of the crime they committed, but it also takes away their ability to continue supporting their family. Living in a prison cell won’t allow the offender to continue on in their life. With a jail sentence, a criminal must change their entire life. They must find someone willing to pay their bills, and take care of their children while they are locked up. This not only hurts the offender but it makes it very difficult to continue their life afterwards.…

    Dangerousness Essay

    Cases such ‘The Soham Murders’ and Jamie Bulger, have given rise to concerns and debates as to whether the perpetrators of these offences are ever able to return to community without the risk that they may commit further horrific crimes. This rise in fear surrounding the release of ‘dangerous’ offenders into the community has resulted in a change in practice for many services within the Criminal Justice System. Probation in particular has seen a shift with a large emphasis now placed upon public protection. In order to effectively achieve the goal of Public Protection there has been a growth in Multi-Agency work, which has been touted as the most effective way of managing the risk posed by dangerous offenders. The introduction of the Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangement (MAPPA) made legal requirements for agencies to co-operate in order to manage the risk. Claims have been made that our systems of public protection are now much better at reducing offending rates. (Nash 2012, pp 12) Conversely there have been a number of high profile cases where serious further offences (SFO) have been committed which have brought into light some of the inadequacies of the current arrangements.…

    The law reforms made during the R v Skaf case led to more just outcomes for future sexually assaulted victims, but the lack of law reforms for sentencing and parole periods does not achieve justice for the victims. The Meagher Case led the public to question the justice system and gave rise to law reform in certain parts of Australia. The “Meagher killer was on parole for sex attacks” media article questions the ability of the Parole Board and the belief of rehabilitation. The Victorian Parole Board however, released a statement “that anybody on parole charged with violent or sex offences would have their parole automatically cancelled.” This minor law reform in Victoria will prove effective as they will disallow criminals with…

    Cantona Kung Fu Kick

    On 25 January 1995 Manchester United legend Eric Cantona was involved in an incident that attracted headlines and controversy worldwide. In an away match against Crystal Palace, Cantona was sent off by the referee for a kick on Palace defender Richard Shaw after Shaw had pulled his shirt. As he was walking towards the tunnel, Cantona launched a 'Kung-Fu' style kick into the crowd, directed at Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons, a fan who had run down 11 rows of stairs to confront and shout abuse at Cantona. Eric then followed the infamous kick with a series of punches. Cantona was arrested and convicted for assault, resulting in a two-week prison sentence. This was overturned in the appeal court and instead he was sentenced to 120 hours of community service, which was spent coaching children at United's training ground. At a press conference called later, Cantona gave what is perhaps his most famous quotation. Cantona said, in a slow and deliberate manner: "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much".…
