‘punishment’ to those which are vilified by particular state powers; police, media and the courts. A few examples of these groups and individuals within society are; women, children, working class and black ethnic minority groups. Or to recast this, any person who is not white, male, heterosexual and upper class. This further defies the Rule of Law, meaning that all persons and states are equal before the Law and that no one is above the Law. Despite this, Bingham,T. (2010:85) states, “it would…

natural that the common people would support an idea that gives them power.

you are going." I’ve heard this saying expressed in many different ways throughout my lifetime, and as it relates to my story this particular saying holds value and truth. I remember how my life changed when I was nearly eight years of age.
