      911: 911, what is your emergency?

      Caller: Um, yes <loud noise heard in background> would you please send a police officer to nicely ask the legally challenged person <loud bang> who is firing, oops, sorry, discharging an explosive accelerant device into my front door <loud bang> to please desist and seek other accommodations?

      911: Do you need a Adult Intervention Officer or a Aged Challenged Intervention Officer?

      Caller: Um, I think Adult.

      911: Are you sure?

      Caller: <crashing noise in background> Well, he started discharging the device so I didn't see him very well... <loud bang>

      911: Well, we can't send anyone without knowing what age appropriate officer to send. We also need to know the preferred gender of the law involved individual.

      Caller: <screams> <loud bang> <indistinct noises>

      911: Person?

      Caller: (Different voice) Hey, can I get a large pizza with sausage?

      911: Oh, certainly Sir, Ma'am or other. Would you like extra cheese?

            "Naughty" sounds awfully judgmental.

                This is actually not new - ‘Justice-Involved Individuals’ is a term from a 2016 guide from the Department of Education to refer to “criminals.”

                Beyond the Box
                Increasing Access to Higher Education for Justice Involved Individuals
                Purpose of This Guide

                Today, an estimated 70 million Americans have been involved with the criminal justice system. Data show plainly that people of color are more likely to come in contact with the justice system due, in part, to punitive school disciplinary policies that disproportionately impact certain student groups and racial profiling.

                There is also growing recognition that successful reintegration back into our society for justice-involved individuals benefits those individuals, their families, and our communities. Research also shows that education can be a powerful pathway for justice-involved individuals to transition out of prison back into the classroom or the workforce, and cuts the likelihood of returning to prison within three years by over 40 percent.

                With this context, it is critical to ensure that gateways to higher education, such as admissions practices, do not disproportionately disadvantage justice-involved individuals who have already served their time. Criminal justice information (CJI), for instance, has been shown to deter potentially well qualified applicants from applying for, and enrolling in, the postsecondary education and training that economists predict is critical to meaningful reentry and labor market success.

                    Well, except for the niggling detail that the melanin deficient folks in question are promoting biological uniformity.

                          No they want to "diversify" -- to separate and distribute the other races to other localities.

                          You have to, um, tweak, various definitions when you play the PC game.

                                Trying to avoid stigmatization is a good idea if rehabilitation is the goal.

                                “Inaccurate information, unfounded assumptions, generalizations and other negative predispositions associated with justice-involved individuals create societal stigmas, attitudinal barriers and continued negative stereotypes,” it continues.

                                “We want them ultimately to become contributing citizens, and referring to them as felons is like a scarlet letter that they can never get away from,” Haney said.
                                “I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
