British police are building a database of children they think might grow up to be criminals - Brickbats - Brief Article

Reason, May, 2002 by Charles Oliver

British police are building a database of children they think might grow up to be criminals.

Police, teachers, and social workers can add names to the list.

Blacklisted children won't be alerted, but they will be tracked and watched by authorities.

    Both Priceline and Orbitz reported higher revenue and profits than expected in the third quarter, despite a travel industry-wide lull.
