Title: Woke names for crimes
Post by: klondike on January 01, 2023, 10:01:29 AM
I see that apparently Police Scotland call paedos 'Minor-Attracted People' or at least their Chief Constable does in an EU report...

I'm guessing now that thieves will be folk with acquisitive tendencies. Any more ideas?

actually, the report only mentions the idiotic MAP name because it appears in the report to which they refer, The CC commented that it was not something with which he agreed.

Yes that is what it says in the article. Police Scotland declare that they don't use the term but admit that they did in the report when they were picked up on it.

Police Scotland does not use the term Minor-Attracted Person," insisted a spokesman for Police Scotland in a response to the controversy quoted by the Scottish Daily Express, despite the fact that their chief constable's official report clearly did use it.

"The reference in the Chief Constable's Assessment of Policing Performance 2021/22 was in the context of Police Scotland's engagement with the Horizon Project EU consortium to tackle Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation," they added, apparently contradicting themselves by confirming that they did indeed use the term, but trying to explain this away by suggesting that they were just going along with the EU when they did so.

Language can be misinterpreted I suppose. For instance is it true that a lady only swears when it slips out?
