was hull not linked with a gang rapist not that long ago http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2013/06/22/vr-five-facts-about-hull-city-target-ilombe-mboyo/
I agree with this. Rather than it being a given, it seems to me that people feel the need to go around stating it as some kind of badge to wear in order to garner social acceptance. I might get into the habit of starting conversations with "You know what gets on my tits? Famine and disease."
How can someone make an effort to rehabilitate when they deny any wrongdoing? So a bit like Eavns then denying rape and wanting to play football and be on centre stage and how that might feel to rape victims. Again, a bit like Evans then. Ben I agree with you that the BBC shouldn't show any difference in how they are portraying the two.
It may depend on people's interpretation of the word "rehabilitate". For me rehabilitation does not have to include an admission of guilt. People will always be released from periods of incarceration declaring (sometimes correctly) their innocence. These people will still need to be rehabilitated back to a normal life within the community. Rehabilitaion, to me, is the preparation of an indicidual prior to them being integrated back into society & their subsequent community management once back in society.
