Welcome to Diet Justice 4.0

What's Diet Justice?

Diet Justice was launched in Feb 2011 as a blog for law students. It has since grown into a justice blog writing on a diverse range of topics including law, politics, policing. We also write about social media, ethics, and society. The content is written by a mixture of guest bloggers and the site owner.

It's important to note that the content is written by independent writers. While some writers hold 'positions of responsibility' their content in no way represents the views of anyone but themselves. 

The version of DJ (v4) that you are seeing now was created in March 2012 with 3 goals in mind;
  • Building on our blogging success by making the content easier to navigate.
  • Providing a cosy new home for DJs thriving community by way of the forums.
  • Allowing those willing DJ readers to submit their own content, including guest blog posts and links.
DJ is proudly governed by the National Union of Journalists' Code of Conduct. If you want to get involved, check out the staff structure.

Very few news events have an affect on me. In the world of 24 hour news we have become desensitised to the horror of the world around us, something that in the past the print media could describe with expert innuendo that protects us from the true nature of the things that happen. Two recent news events have made me feel physically sick. The first was the murder of Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes, and second was the murder of soldier Lee…

Can a police officer be a trespasser?

Posted 16 May 2013, 2:48 PM
This is a new series of articles looking beyond legislation, and into case law, to understand a little bit more about what powers a police officer really has. As police officers are servants of the crown/people, and are subject to the law themselves, are they ever accountable in civil law for their actions? We all know the answer to that is yes...this series will look how far that liability…

Police Law…looking for an expert

Posted 15 May 2013, 6:06 PM
Hello everyone,

First of all, if you have been wondering where i am (yeah right), i have been bogged down in revision for the past month or so as i've, finally, had my 2nd year exams. I have one more exam to go, Tort Law, so my mind has started to wonder back to the blogging world. 

Something i have always wanted to do is put together some small case studies on areas of law that are essential to policing, but are rarely explained to anyone in any…

The Viral Bakery: From Funny to Sinister in 5 minutes

Posted 15 May 2013, 3:39 AM

This is a story of a small bakery in Arizona, USA. It is run by husband and wife team Amy (the chef) & Samy (front of house), and has been open since 2006. After business hit the rocks, they called in Gordon Ramsey. They blamed online reviewers who Amy described as 'haters', and the failure of the business was the fault of internet trolls rather than their own actions. This is my commentary on the epic fallout caused by this episode...it's fairly long but i wanted to make sure you got to savour all the best…
