Calling A Spade A Spade No More

The words “felon,” “offender,” “convict,” “addict” and “juvenile delinquent” would be part of the past in official San Francisco parlance under new “person first” language guidelines adopted by the Board of Supervisors.

Going forward, what was once called a convicted felon or an offender released from jail will be a “formerly incarcerated person,” or a “justice-involved” person or simply a “returning resident.”

Parolees and people on criminal probation will be referred to as a “person on parole,” or “person under supervision.”

A juvenile “delinquent” will become a “young person with justice system involvement,” or a “young person impacted by the juvenile justice system.”

 

And drug addicts or substance abusers will become “a person with a history of substance use.”

“We don’t want people to be forever labeled for the worst things that they have done,” Supervisor Matt Haney said.

The resolution is non-binding, was not signed by the mayor, and it is not clear it will be implemented.  Here is the full article.

 

What's next, we have to call HAHA Gator a "clump of fecal matter" rather than a POS?

I believe 'fecal-involved person' is the correct terminology, you unwoke mother *****.

....best bet is to call them "victims".....we have to psychoanalyze what went wrong behaviorally, right?.....must be something in their upbringing, socioeconomic strata, homeless, deprivation, single parent, minimal legal representation and whatever other excuse you want that triggered the heinous behavior.....probably a "really good person" otherwise......unconscionable how we twist the perpetrator into the victim these days......SMH...and now political correctness?.....personal accountability is LONG GONE....

This is about more than the irrigated desert on our left coast. Other municipalities will be attempting the same thing and then where would we be discussing this? In the California thread? You Californians are all about yourself.

Everything in the CA thread will eventually be tried by a large portion of the country’s municipalities.
