Morning All,
 
According to Victim Support's website the Probation Service is required to contact victims and their families after someone has been imprisoned for 12 months or more after a sexual or violent crime provide information about the circumstances under which the offender might be released. My emphasis.
 
You might take a look at http://www.victimsupport.org/Help-for-victims/The-criminal-justice-system/After-a-trial-victim.
 
Regards and Season's Greetings,

Hi Mark

Interesting thoughts.

Many thanks for pointing out that I am indeed single S.

For readers looking for DPA stuff, please look away now, I suspect that this is all shamefully off topic

When I looked at this link (thanks Ibrahim) I saw another page in the sidebar, 'Jailed rioters named and shamed' [1] not quite the same thing but somehow it feels like there is an imbalance. 

As for anyone carrying a gun and shooting people, I'm not even going to start, I'll just go into an off topic rant about things like 'The court was told builder Hassan had been a man of good character but was attracted by the gangster lifestyle, driving a BMW 4x4 car and having a gun.'

All food for thought, and my own off topic thought, keep Hassan in jail for as long as possible and then if he is a foreign national kick him out, even to a country where his own life may be in danger. Hmm, dangerous precedent. Now where is my John Birch Society membership card again?

But Ibrahim 'single s' Hasan :) asks

> DPA/privacy rights trump the rights of a victim's family. Discuss.

Do the family have any rights here? Someone commits a crime, and is sentenced by the courts. Once the sentence is discharged any debt to society has been repaid. I'm not a lawyer, but five years after conviction the terms of the Rehabilitation of Criminal Offenders Act click in. I don't know if that act covers murder, but we believe in sentences being proportionate, repaying societal debt, and rehabilitation.

Never mind that one Magistrate I knew steadfastly maintained that jailing people did no good whatsoever in terms of changing behaviour.

All very interesting, and I for one would welcome a broader discussion than just DPA aspects (sorry moderators to mess up the list).

cheers, mark

The Evening Standard (so it's got to be true!) reports today:

"A couple have been refused the right to know if their son's killer has been allowed to stay in the UK, it emerged today.

The Home Office has told Wintworth and Lurline Deslandes they cannot be given the information about Saturday Hassan, who was given three life sentences last year for murdering their son Darren, 34, in order to protect the gunman's privacy.

They believe Hassan, 31, formerly of Sydenham, south London, to be a foreign national but have been told he must agree to details of his immigration status being handed over to their MP because he is currently guarded under the Data Protection Act."


DPA/privacy rights trump the rights of a victim's family. Discuss.
