Following yesterday’s article on the cosy relationship between the police and Scottish Government, who are alarming a remarkably wide range of society, a flurry of information has been passed back to me, including the following notes on the Integration of Scottish Criminal Justice Information Systems (ISCJIS) database. The First Minister has stonewalled requests to breakdown religiously aggravated crime, claiming the Crown Office have destroyed their records, but my source suggests the information is available for analysis in the ISCJIS database. I’m told:
“The material stored (in the ISCJIS database) ranges from simple conviction records, to DNA, and social status. The data is used primarily for presenting Criminal History in court cases, and in identifying suspects in criminal investigations. It is also used of course to measure the social impact of changes in Legislation and Enforcement Policy, as evidenced by the current furore. It will also be used to predict the impact of such changes, particularly as regards Equality and Diversity impacts, which is a statutory requirement of any proposed Legislation. You see, the ‘missing’ data is actually necessary in predicting the impact on Equality of the Offensive Behaviour Bill.”
“Essentially, if you want to know how many Section 74 Breach of the Peace convictions (Aggravation for Religious Prejudice) or even charges, there were at a given point in time in a given court, you simply search on the Breach of the Peace Conviction Code and add the modifier code ‘P’ indicating Religious Aggravation. All such offences are then returned, with full access (rights permitted) to the Reports and Case Notes.”
To assist the First Minister, below is information on what the enquiry form he has to complete looks like. This is a link to the operation manual and if he’s really stuck he can call the helpdesk on 0141-585 – 8333.
We can only speculate why the authorities are so reluctant to disclose information on, on a subject so close to their hearts.

If you or I requested the data it would come in a raw sequential file.
Once you have analysed the data so as you understand fully what you have been given, normalised it, developed your database and coded your SQL I’d imagine it would take seconds to run.
These guys are not going to provide you there database and I’d imagine the extract you receive may well have misguiding field titles.
So good luck with that.
MWD :o)
Is the type on anyone else’s CQN page very small. or is it just on my computer/
If it’ds just on mine, any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Its a pity Lunny wasnt around a couple of years ago when 8ers legend 8arry F let off at a linesman who didnt give him a shy. It was very abusive and vile and also less than 5 yards from the match commander with the scrambled egg on his bunnett. B F was very lucky Ed Smith wasnt around!!
Misguided = misleading

Sorry, my misunderstanding.
I was referring to the largest “dynamic database and interactive investigative tool” in the country, known better as the Criminal History System where the data in question is accessed and used for myriad purposes every day.

An excellent statement, motto, slogan – call it what you will:
Support the team. Ignore the Establishment. Your mind is your own. Do not let them trick you.
Great advice!
Thank you: I agree a start for a slogan of intent. I am sure others on the blog can enhanceand improve this slogan, even and make it a ‘Battle Cry.’

That’s a really fun question. The answer is I don’t know that it would, although I guess it depends what you mean – i.e. they and all other churches never existed or they did and then ceased to exist. Either way I think it requires some thought.
I’m assuming you are asking for a reason, but, it’s worth noting that the supposition behind the question was not made in my earlier post.
In reality religion’s have served their purpose, and we kinda already know what that means… good and bad.
By the way, I know it’s trendy to bash atheists as arrogant, but it’s no skin off an atheists nose. Apart from the fact I’ve never met a devoutly religious person whose arrogance wasn’t off the scale scary, an atheist can be content that they have done their level best to understand the facts, or motivations. No atheist worth their salt would ever claim absolute knowledge of anything, but they can say that an honest appraisal of religion is that it’s really not a good enough answer to any of the fundamental questions, except maybe the ‘who’ one.
Ernie,
Andrew Dewar Gibb – I know his wiki entry is about 1% of the size of Alex Salmonds.
I also know that you stand alone in making this point. No-one seriously equates the SNP with an anti catholic agenda. I’ve been interested in the topic for many years, because the changing motives behind nationalism in Scotland and the power of the movement is totally unique in world politics – the only socialism nationalism movement ever. A nationalist movement that never, seriously, took up arms. Peddle your agenda all day mate, but, the headlines re Scottish Nationalism are far more interesting that your sidebar.

Thanks for the stats. It’s worth adding that women also make up a disproportionate number of the prison population, when compared the number of crimes committed. Further it would be interesting see the socio-economic breakdown and the geographic breakdown. Sadly I suspect the vast majority of the prison population are from the poorer parts of the West of Scotland, and Catholics will be more highly represented in these areas.
I’m in no way belittling the usefulness of those facts, but, it might be nice if we looked at it in a less divisive way, because the issue is poverty and social exclusion and the main cause of that is not, presently, religion.
Excellent article here with a Brentford player who has recently signed from a lengthy spell at St Pauli, the interview concentrates on the culture of the Hamburg club.
It’s really very refreshing.

I’m sure you are talking about a highly advanced database.
But if the government has gone to the lengths it has to try and bury this information do you believe you or I if we requested the data would receive anything that would be easily deciphered?
It’d be 1 extract file (probably not even CSV) with misleading data field headings. I’m sure the extract would be specifically written by Bill Knox (OO lodge master) to mislead.
Or do you believe they’d be helpful?

I’ll apologise for the comment when she apologises for her behaviour from 1979 till 1990.
Awaiting new article ;

Any word on the Algerian trialist who played v Hibs at Lennoxtown last week?
Any of you bhoys in the city want a pint this afternoon?
Right ‘nuf from me on that baws… apologies if anyone irked.
I am really excited about tomorrow night. This team, after all the pain they’ve gone through this season, may just be in a seminal period. 80% of what we lack is belief and confidence… the rest is still a centre half, mind… if we win tomorrow and by hook or by crook nudge ahead of the ugly mob as we go into January, then the last stage for Lennon and his young team is learning to keep the foot down to the end.
If… then we can dust off the G.O.D. banter again.
So the SNP has listened to public opinion regarding the Criminalisation Bill and went “F*** You! We are doing it anyway!”
Police having parties everywhere tonight, thinking about getting their hands on our supporters for “threatening behaviour or behaviour which would be offensive to any reasonable person”.
To put it into perspective, Eddie Smith would be deemed a reasonable person who took offence at Celtic Park.
I rest my case….
Hail! Hail!

Not religion per se, but prejudice could play a part. Look at blacks in the US, why are they poor? Why are they more likely to go to jail, or be victims of crime? Why are they more likely to be unemployed, or unemployable?
It couldn’t be anything to do with the colour of their skin?
Prejudice against our fellow human beings takes many forms, but the end results are usually the same, the victim gets the short end of a whole bag of sticks.

Are you seriously saying those nut jobs where only founders of the SNP and did not belong to any other party?
A simple Yes or No will suffice.’
Yor question isn’t clear. Think about what you’re trying to ask me and have another go at writing the question.
……………………
‘Seriously?
What part if the question isn’t clear. I mean its a simple question, no big words, no possible way for it to be misrepresented.
Answer the question!’
OK. Fair enough. Maybe you really are pushing the envelope of your powers and can’t express yourself more clearly, though I doubt it.
Firstly who are you referring to as ‘nutjobs’?
I used the word to refer to the founders of the SNP, so logically it follows that those ‘nutjobs’ where (sic) only founders of the SNP. They may previously have belonged to other parties but I don’t think that’s what you’re asking.
……………
Pathetic and childish. What age are you 12?
