AC 2.1- comparing campaigns for change
COMPARE OWN CAMPAIGN TO ALL OF THESE (4 comparisons)!!!
Sarah’s law and Clare’s law
One campaign for change in law was Sarah’s law, which aimed to protect
children and parents from suspected child sex offenders in the area. The
laws at the time failed to protect Sarah Payne, an 8-year-old, who was
abducted and brutally murdered by a previously convicted paedophile, Roy
Whiting, who had previously kidnapped an 8-year-old girl in the area prior to
Sarah’s abduction. The result of Sarah’s death was that her father, Michael
Payne, and her mother, Sara Payne, campaigned for a law about disclosing
information on local child sex offenders to make sure parents know if there is
one in their area. In addition, the tabloid newspaper ‘News of the World’ did
a name and shame of fifty sex offenders to raise awareness of child
exploitation and increase the profile of Sarahs campaign. The newspaper had
a petition slip for people to sign concerning the amount of sex offenders,
which was heavily successful due to the 700,000 signatures that were
posted. This ensued the creation of Sarah’s law and the introduction of the
‘Child sexual offenders disclosure scheme (2011).’
Clare’s law is another campaign which advocated for change in law, when
Clare Wood was murdered by her ex-boyfriend, who had a history of violence
against women, in 2009. Her death compelled her father, Michael Brown, to
campaign for the right to know about people's partner’s history of potential
violence. This was successful due to the 'Dometic violence disclosure
scheme’ passing in 2014, after years of dedicated campaigning.
Similarly, Clare’s law is like Sarah’s law in the way that they were both
campaigned by the family- Sarah's mother and father campaigned, and
Clare’s father campaigned for change in the law. These campaigns are also
closely linked as the sole purpose of both laws is to protect people who can’t
protect themselves through child exploitation and domestic violence,
therefore the use of law and policy aided in both campaigns. These
campaigns were launched when the victims had died, and so the
campaigners of Sarah’s law and Clare’s law aim to save potential victims of
crimes like these. Sarah’s mother and Clare’s father both felt as if they had
had information prior to the incidents, the victims would still be alive. Sarah’s
mother wouldn’t allow her daughter to play in the fields without an adult had
she known there was a local child sex offender. This is the same as Clare’s
