Anti-social Crime by Cieran Perry The recent release of a report called "They shoot children, don't they?" by Professor Liam Kennedy of Queen's University in Belfast again raises the issue of Anti Social crime and how it should be dealt with. The report itself is deeply flawed due to it being so biased against the paramilitaries and the lack of understanding of the pressure from communities for something to be done about people engaged in anti social activities. While this is only to be expected from a report commissioned by the "Northern Ireland Committee Against Terror" the statistics quoted in the report do merit comment. The report states that punishment attacks on youths in Northern Ireland have almost doubled since the signing of the Belfast Agreement. Comments: 6:40:37 AM

Remember the Dead...Fight for the Living Billy Mitchell Sunday past, April 28th, was "Workers' Memorial Day" - not that there was any significant coverage of it in the local media. Workers Memorial Day is a time for workers everywhere to commemorate workers who have died as a result of work-related accidents and disease and to renew the fight for safe and healthy working conditions for workers everywhere.
