More police corruption then.

Quoted from MarinerWY

Traumatic and abusive upbringings can cause lack of empathy, poor emotional regulation and cycles of abuse.

That's nurture, not genetics.

Some children have malfunctioning parts of their brain though which don't allow for much empathy. You add a very deprived background into the mix and it's a recipe for disaster. Having said that a lot of love can help such children and minimise these offsets to some degree.

Quoted from MarinerWY

Hahahaha
This is comedy gold, keep it up

You sure. Your laughter at my comment reflects a mindset that looks at things through blinkered eyes and who still has more to learn about the world as we all do. It reflects badly on you. Life is a never ending learning curve as it is for all of us.

I've come to that thought process by witnessing painful life experiences both through and what's happened to myself and others.Get more life experiences among those who have suffered and you may change your tune. Leftists policies are not the be all and end  all of everything. Open your mind and look at the deeper picture.

If you can't keep things constructive go back to a hole and stay there until you come out with a bit of love that helps others. Iam sure there is some there with you as there is with everyone. Bring it out more as it's always the stronger force.

Quoted from MarinerWY

Can you give us some dates on this era please?
Corruption in the Met was rife in the 60's and 70s, Soho porn shops all paid dues to CID to stay open and were subject to showy raids to keep appearances of enforcement. A Chief Superintendant was brought in who famously said "my aim is for the Met to catch more criminals than we employ". The BBC series Bent Coppers covers this era.

So, that was the 60s and 70s, certainly not the era of 'dogooders' and definitely the era of unchecked casual police violence.

I was thinking of the 50's and country bobby's, born within 10/15 miles of their beat As for the 60's/70's corruption was rife in many aspects of life, not just the met. Poulson in Leeds comes to mind quickly.

Excellent post Rick which gets you a gold star.

We all agree with free speech which is everybody's right in a democracy. The problem is that some lowlife sticks their head out of their rat hole has a quick look round and then believe they know everything about everything without experiencing any life at all.

They then come on here intent with getting a few green ticks not having the faintest clue about the meaning or understanding of their words.

Rick, can you cite the research that you’re talking about?

Rick, can you cite the research that you’re talking about?

Kingston Ive stated before but it was a while back that I done my degree. The research as noted came from a book on crime and children and looked at differing facets of why some children end up commiting crime . I can't quote the research as I threw away all my notes . Psychology wasn't really my thing but the crime module was my favourite and I took it to it like a duck to water. Mainly because I've lived in London most of my life and seen a fair bit of bad stuff happened to my friends and also stuff that happened to me from an early age through no fault of my own.

For the record as you know I don't think there is pure evil to anyone and there is a good to everyone however small even psychopaths.

In the end good will always prevail. Of that Iam convinced.

Thanks DB. Much love to you.

You have no idea about my life experiences or my qualifications to talk about the criminal justice system, youth offending or child development.

It would also appear that 'leftists' are living rent free in your head.

I'd also suggest you link to research you quote, particularly if it's claims are as bold as those.

Lowlife? For posting on a forum? Bit of a snowflake are we?

I appreciate that I dont know you or what you have been through in life but as stated Ive been directly involved in youth offending through my work and also have studied child development as part of my degree in Psychology.

As for leftists living rent free in my head I try to listen to all sides eg left and right as all have something valuable to contribute which affects the  benefit of  the whole.

As for the research again as noted had I been doing my degree 6 years earlier I could have given you it. But psychology is not really my passion .Its more nature ,reading and boxing. I only came into Psychology by default through life experiences beyond my control.
