Labelling people who break the law as 'deviant',
'evil', 'anti-social' and different to ordinary
law-abiding citizens is part of the social
control functions of the criminal justice system.
In the same way, activists are often labelled or
associated with the terms 'criminal' or
'terrorist' . The labelling of certain activists
as violent' or terrorist' is a part of efforts to
discredit and undermine support for social change
and is often used to justify legal repression and
police violence. www.activistrights.org
