Beating crime – in any language
Published Date:
06 September 2007
NORTHAMPTONSHIRE Police has teamed up with Crimestoppers to produce leaflets in seven languages in a bid to help cut crime.
The generic leaflet has been produced in English and seven of the most commonly used languages that police come into contact with across the county – Latvian, Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, Somali Rumanian and Punjabi.
Kevin Shapland from Northamptonshire Crimestoppers said: “Crime is a crime in anybody’s language. The fact that English is not everyone’s first language should not be seen as a barrier to providing information about criminals.”
The leaflet is available in libraries, police stations, courts, probation offices and through other criminal justice agencies.
The full article contains 111 words and appears in Northants Evening Telegraph newspaper.
