Hate Crime Reporting LeafletShowcase SUCCESS!
Second Showcase Success.
Eastleigh’s Second Community Showcase, at The Point, Eastleigh on Saturday the 2nd of February was a great success, despite freezing conditions.
45 local charities exhibited at the event, showcasing their activities and services and recruiting volunteers. Live performances were staged in the main auditorium by Ukes for All and the Eastleigh Fusion Choir.
The Showcase is a partnership event between One Community and The Point. As well as meeting the public, who arrived in their hundreds, exhibitors were busy networking and making new contacts.
Exhibitors ranged from Solent Movie Makers to Prostate Cancer Support, the Scouts to the Samaritans, The Red Box Project to Highbridge Community Farm.
Visitors included Eastleigh’s Mayor, Cllr Bruce Tennant and Eastleigh’s MP Mims Davies, both of whom were impressed by the turn out, and enjoyed the opportunity to chat to so many charities under one roof.

Friday Night Club THEFT
LOCAL CHARITY DEVASTATED BY THEFT
Last night thieves broke into a container stealing all the outdoor equipment of Fareham’s Friday Night Club including three off-road buggies, helmets and archery equipment. The Friday Night Club provides activities for people with learning disabilities/ mental health issues.
The most popular activities are the off-roading and the archery and it is difficult to see how the charity will continue in the short-term. Our clients are upset as their outdoor activities are the highlight of their week.

Cybercrime, and by extension, cyberbullying is one of those ‘under the iceberg’ crimes that we are still figuring out how best to tackle. Simon Hayes, Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight said:

Exploring Hate Crime
Written by Kylie Barton
Hate Crime is a broad term that covers a number of things. In this article we will give a broad overview of what it is, as well as what you can do.
A hate crime, is a crime that is targeted at a person because of the offender’s personal prejudices. These can include prejudices against people with a physical or mental disability, people of a certain race or religion, people of a different sexuality, age, or general subculture.
Such hate crimes are usually born out of a lack of information or misguided fears, and so the more we talk about these different areas the better. Moreover, the more it is reported, the better. Hate Crime is still a little known offence, and it is often something added to another offence such as harassment, assault, threats of violence, robbery, or online abuse and thusly increased the seriousness of the offence in the eyes of the law. Hate crimes can be committed against a person or a property. [Read more…]
Bringing practice up to date on domestic abuse
Written by Kylie Barton, Researcher
At present it is a little known fact that HMIC promote a mandatory arrest approach to domestic abuse (DA) cases. This method has been under some scrutiny from academics, practitioners, and frontline professionals for some years, and the tide may just be changing.
I completed a report in December entitled ‘Once Called, Twice Shy’ for Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Simon Hayes to look into the issue. The aim was to look at what victims wanted from the police, and the results were extremely varied, showing that as suspected; every case of domestic abuse should be assessed individually.
How to keep safe online
Written by Kylie Barton
As online communities proliferate, and beco
me a place where many citizens are increasingly active, there have been growing concerns relating to the safety of people online.
As with all areas of life, there are risks online, but these risks are very much unknown to some members of our communities. In this article we will have a look at some of those fears and the things you can do to make sure that you and your data is safe when surfing the web.
Your data online is really like a needle in a haystack, and you are probably just as likely to be subject to identity theft online as you are to be a subject of fraud in real life. There is always a risk, but it is minimal, and online there are more ways to protect you than there are in real life, and more ways to resolve any situations that occur. [Read more…]
