Talk:Protective custody

Need
I fail to see the need for the 'Hip-Hop' culture section. Lots42 (talk) 19:00, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Change
Sorry, i am just an user of wikipedia, not an author. I have no idea how to handle this. But could ANYONE please delete the german and allemanisch link on the left? It leads up to something in the third reich, which is not simmiliar to protective custody as meant in the article. "Schutzhaft" was something the authorities used to protect themself and the system from opponents and unwanted people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.174.147.105 (talk) 01:09, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I too see the need for a change: the Nazi German Schutzhaft is what I've found translated to English (via Hebrew) as "administrative detention". The distinction has to do with whether the inmate's being protected from others vs. the system being protected from the detainee. Apparently this would be better treated by a separate page under that title and the interlanguage wiki links sorted accordingly. This will require a shout-out on the corresponding talk pages in those respective languages. I'll start taking care of this quite soon. -- Deborahjay (talk) 11:50, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

World view
Protective custody can mean different things in different jurisdictions and legal settings - not just prisons within prison - for example, temporary witness protection might be achieved by house arrest, emotional and psychiatric situations might be resolved in a closed hospital setting and so on.

Verbatim passages but apparently not a copyvio
I was about to tag this page as a copyvio of this:
 * http://www.corrections.com/news/article/30439-what-exactly-is-protective-custody-

That article is dated April 2012. However, I checked the history, and it turns out that the text in question goes back to November 2011. So it looks like that article copied Wikipedia rather than vice-versa. We should probably leave this information on the talk page indefinitely (i.e., as long as the article above remains online). --Middle 8 (t • c &#124; privacy • COI) 04:24, 3 March 2016 (UTC)


 * The article is either gone or has moved. (It's worrisome that a starting stage WP article on protective custody, which is grossly misleading due to it's incomplete state, was copied onto a site called corrections.com.) MxBuster (talk) 06:56, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
