HUGH de, KRETSER. "Some Crimes Should Not Be Forever." Herald Sun (Melbourne) (n.d.): Newspaper Source. Web. 20 Oct. 2015. http://eds.b.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.uky.edu/ehost/detail/detail?vid=33&sid=19253947-16c5-42bd-9f2a-dacb8a31b883%40sessionmgr110&hid=120&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZSZzY29wZT1zaXRl#AN=200608241021634121&db=nfh
My source is a newspaper from Australia and the article in the paper is called, "Some Crimes Should Not Be Forever." The article talks about a woman's crime and if it should be held on her for the rest of her life. She was convicted of drunk driving one time and it began to affect her life. She was labeled "criminal" and where she is from, people take speeding as a crime. The newspaper just talks about how the lady's case went about and what happened to her. She was rejected a telephone operator job with the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority because the offense was put on her record and her record caused her to get negative stereotypes so no other job wanted her services.This source is useful to my project because it is an example of someone's past putting a label on them. Because my community is about labels on the city of Joliet and some of those labels are because of the city's past, this source will provide a way that the past will come back or never leave you at all.
