Police in England and Wales consider making misogyny a hate crime

Mark Townsend

September 10, 2016    

 

    Police forces across England and Wales are considering expanding their definition of hate crime to include misogyny (hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women, or prejudice against women) after an experiment in one city that saw more than 20 investigations launched in two months.

   The initial success of Nottingham’s crackdown against sexist abuse has drawn national interest after the city’s police revealed that they investigated a case of misogyny every three days during July and August, the first months to see specially trained officers targeting behaviour ranging from street harassment to unwanted physical approaches. 

    Several other forces have confirmed they are sending representatives to Nottingham this month to discuss the introduction of misogyny as a hate crime. Police and campaigners said the initial figures were broadly in line with other categories of hate crime such as Islamophobia and antisemitism but were likely to rise significantly as awareness increased.

      Dave Alton, the hate crime manager for Nottingham police, said: “The number of reports we are receiving is comparable with other, more established, categories of hate crime. We have received numerous reports and have been able to provide a service to women in Nottinghamshire who perhaps would not have approached us six months ago. The reality is that all of the reports so far have required some form of police action.”

A imagem acima é o cartaz francês de um clássico do cinema brasileiro: O Pagador de Promessas (1962). Dirigido por Anselmo Duarte e baseado em peça homônima de Dias Gomes, o filme conta a história de Zé do Burro: um homem simples que, para salvar seu amigo da morte, promete em um terreiro de Candomblé levar uma cruz às portas da Igreja de Santa Bárbara, em Salvador. Assim que seu burro-amigo se recupera, ele parte para sua jornada. O filme de Anselmo Duarte ganhou a Palma de Ouro, importante prêmio de cinema, em 1962. Sobre o contexto cultural brasileiro desse período, considere as afirmações:

 

I. A Bossa Nova acabara de despontar. A música em si era profundamente influenciada pelo jazz norte-americano que chegou ao Brasil durante os ‘Anos Dourados’, momento de profunda euforia social durante o governo de Juscelino Kubitschek (1955-1960).

II. O Cinema Novo se firma como movimento. Apesar do sucesso d’O Pagador de Promessas, o expoente do Cinema Novo Glauber Rocha afirmava que filmes não deveriam somente entreter: havia uma obrigação social mais profunda, que deveria transcender o cinema de ‘efeito fácil’.

III. O surgimento das chamadas ‘músicas de protesto’ acontece simultâneo ao Golpe Militar de 1964 e é profundamente ligada à Contra Cultura conhecida como Hippie, nascida na década de 1950.

 

Está (ão) correta (s):

Na figura a seguir, o texto apresenta um apelo emocional que se contextualiza com relevantes referências territoriais do Brasil. O autor transmite uma ideia de completude entre o seu sentimento pela pátria e a ideia de abrangência territorial. Esta última perspectiva, no entanto, carece de uma atualização geográfica.

A despeito da intenção do autor da frase, o que representa a expressão “do Oiapoque ao Chuí”, considerando as localizações, em relação à territorialidade brasileira no contexto geográfico atual?

Could using your phone at night cause blindness? Chinese man needed emergency op after spending hours texting his girlfriend in the dark

 

A Chinese man who texted his girlfriend for hours in the dark risked going blind after his retina detached from the back of his eye.

 

The 26-year-old suffered the condition retinal detachment after using the messaging app, WeChat, almost constantly over several days and nights.

 

Doctors who diagnosed the condition, which can lead to blindness, took the man into surgery for an emergency operation to fix the problem.

 

Without prompt treatment, the condition can lead to blindness in the affected eye.

 

The retina is light-sensitive and sends messages to the brain through the optic nerve.

 

The man had reported experiencing sudden flashes in his line of sight, a common sign that a retina has become detached.

 

The condition occurs when the thin lining at the back of a person's eye - the retina - begins to pull away from the blood vessels that supply it with oxygen and nutrients.

 

The condition usually strikes between the ages of 50 and 70 - but scientists say an increasing number of young people are suffering from it - and smartphones could be to blame.

 

Medical Daily reported the Chinese man had been texting his girlfriend constantly throughout the day and for several hours in bed at night.

 

Yu Bin, an eye expert, told Want China Times this was an extreme case, but added it was possible for people to experience a retinal detachment as a result of excessive phone use.

 

Experts say starring at devices, such as phones and tablet computers, can put unnecessary strain on a person's eyes.

 

'Our eyes have evolved for three-dimensional viewing,' Andrea Thau, a New York City-based optometrist, told NBC News.

 

'So we wind up overfocusing as we strain to find a 3-D image on a close-up 2-D screen.'

 

Last year an eye surgeon warned that rates of short sightedness among young people have soared because of smartphones.

 

David Allamby, Founder of Focus Clinics, said there had been a 35 per cent increase in the number of people with advancing myopia (short sightedness) since the launch of smartphones in 1997. He added that the problem could increase by 50 per cent in the next ten years.
