Hate crime down as police make it a priority
EAST YORKS: Hate crime has fallen across the Humberside Police area, new figures have shown.
There were 469 hate crimes recorded in the force area last year, compared with 577 in 2010 – a drop of 18.7 per cent.
-

The Home Offices defines hate crime as being motivated by hostility towards someone based on their disability, race, religion, gender-identity or sexual orientation.
A spokesman for Humberside Police Authority said: "The authority made reducing hate crime a priority in the policing plan after listening to the public, so we are pleased to see it has fallen."

Figures released by the Association of Chief Police Officers showed 401 of the hate crimes recorded last year were racially motivated.
A further 46 victims were targeted because of sexual orientation, 14 because they are disabled, six because of their faith and two because they are transgender.
UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom, who is standing to become the first Humberside police and crime commissioner, has said he would like to scrap the concept of hate crime if elected.
He said: "If somebody is attacked, robbed or abused, that is a crime. I will not give a minority preference because they claim to be a cultural minority."

“If hate crime has been made a priority, where does that leave all other the crimes that need police attention? Most likely response: "We treat all crimes as seriously as each other". So, hate crime is not being treated any differently to other crimes? Therefore: "Hate crime down as police make it a priority" is a basic public relations ploy and is, by definition, without substance. The use of the word 'priority' is purely a headline grabbing device.”

“John_Daniels - no, sorry, still don't hate your posts. I've now moved to amused.
The ruling class (majority white, male, hetero) are imposing political correctness because their wives tell them to??
Why don't these sexual blackmailers use their power to do something like demand equal pay for women?
As I said, I can understand why some people get cross about what they perceive as unfairness.”

“jenoh let's cut the bull. You hate it! Attitudes haven't changed they've been imposed and others who disagree have been silenced on the pain of being charged with that revolutionary pre-cept of the hate crime. And why are we as you say governed by a bunch of middle class white guy the answer to that is simple. Who controls these middle class white guys? Their wives who's only weapon is sex. And men are only to willing to comply lest they receive no oral delight and their wives know this. Because sex is the only weapon they have! And as for the lunatic feminist fringe well they're all girls together and form a very powerful body that can sway the position of a vast majority of the electorate and challenge the positions these middle class white guys hold in power. Like the old adage. Behind every successful man is a successful woman that can use emotional blackmail as leverage.
Oh yeah and let's not forget that it was the pro European left wing extremists of that pseudo socialist billionaires boy club known as New Labour who imposed the communitarian dirty water of centrist European politics on Parliament lest they be branded, and here we go again: Bigot, Nazi, Fascist, Racist, Homophobe! The net result of all this is that you lot have to fall in line”

“John_Daniels - I don't hate your post. I'm saddened by it.
I can understand why some people feel aggrieved with the whole, "You can't say X, Y or Z anymore! Attitudes have changed and I can't keep up. Plus I've got no money and others seem to get more help than me but I'm not allowed to say so cos then people shout at me. Boo!"
But. If the feminist homosexual communists have really taken over, why are we being governed by a bunch of heterosexual, middle class white guys? Surely that's where the power is?”

“Oops here come the real 'HATE' criminals who 'HATE' my last post. Nevermind they say the truth hurts especially when they've been exposed! So to all you 'POLITICALLY CORRECT HATE CRIMINALS' out there I have only one word for you; 'BUSTED'!”

“Look. The revolutionary post modern pre-cept of the; 'Hate Crime' is a product of 'Political correctness' that has become the very thing it sought to destroy. Even Julia Kristeva the 2nd wave Maoist feminist and mother of political correctness noted in the NY Times art section in 1993 and, taking her lead from the works of the French Structural psychologist Jaques Lacan is quoted as saying that: "I no longer see myself in my writings", that is; "The mirror of language.
The concept of the 'hate crime' and 'political correctness' then Is not about 'equality' in its current form, it's about who has 'power' over whom. Don't believe me. Then figure out who you are not allowed to critisise and see how quick you end up in gaol.
Simply put. Where political correctness was meant to nutralise such 'violent hierarchies' (a violent hierarchy is where one term is given primacy over a second term in a binary relationship) and render them immutable, as Foucault demonstrated extending Edward Said's theory of 'Abrogation and Appropriation' of 'post colonialism' into 'Queer Theory' or the sticks and stones mentality; It is the creation of a new 'violent hierarchy' in Derridian terms where the 'traditional' dominant element of a binary structure, i.e the male as the primary term and as center within the dichotomy between male and female has become 'decentered' cast out and replaced with an new center creating a new violent hierarchy, with the female 'Other' in the top slot.
Thus in said dichotomy the male as center, more specifically the 'white heterosexual male' in the 'monocultural/multicultural' 'male/female' dichotomy has now been 'decentered', 'marginalised', and become the 'silenced' 'Other' of language and cast into 'abjection' in favour of female, and is now used by sexual deviants as a tool of power and oppression to suppress the 'traditional' white heterosexual male center' and normalise sexual deviance. So where is this so called 'Violent Hierarchy' I hear you scream? Simple. Like I say. Find out whom you are not allowed to critisise lest you become branded as a hate criminal and end up in gaol!
So who's to blame? Well that lies firmly at the feet of the The Communist third wave post feminist homosexual post colonial misandrists of the American academies, who hijacked 2nd wave feminism, misread Kristeva, Derrida, Lacan, Said or *******ised it to their own advantage and agenda; who then jumped in bed with the black power supremacists and subsequently re-wrote the theory of communitarianism of the Frankfurt School in their own image, exported it to the Communists in the European Union for it only to be caught like a dose of the clap by the feminist sexual deviants and useful idiots here in the U.K.
The rise of political correctness then is a degradation of normality into abnormality creating a totalitarianism thus a totalitarian regime as it is a totalising system of thought as Leyotard noted that no one can critisise lest you be charged with a hate crime. And the hate crime is just a way of silencing critics on the pain of death or subject to a tirade of abuse, and we all know the mantra, repeat after me; 'Bigot, Nazi, fascist, racist, homophobe.
Put it this way. If sexual deviance and multiculturalism were natural and given, we wouldn't need hate laws to enforce them would we? Now lets see how many P.C.Nazis of the Race Gestapo and useful idiots scream witch at this one which is inadvisable as I speak on this issue from an informed point of view.
As for a solution to the problem. Simple. Follow your conscience!”

“@Anon-Geoff. Respectfully disagree. Assaulting someone because they are black, white, gay, transgender or whatever is no more serious a crime than assaulting them for no reason.
A crime does not become more serious because of the motivation.
Police should never prioritise any crime especially when it is a miniscule percentage of the crimes committed in the region.
Meanwhile arsonists, perverts and violent offenders are continuing to receive cautions for serious offences.
All this to allow the police more time to troll through social media sites looking for reasons o prosecute stupid (but not dangerous) people.
School teachers who make a silly comment for example... But are not a danger to the public.”
