More terms and conditions

This is a quick post to say I just saw something disturbing which is the use of the phrase "pre-existing  criminal convictions." To refer to crimes with similar terminology as the already violating terms used to describe people's health conditions is a little disturbing, and when you add in the way some people are now labeling mental disorders as "behavioral health," or when there are legal problems, "correctional health," it all just blurs into something that to me is very worrisome.  It is a criminalization tactic that I would not have expected. That is all I have to say about it right now and the term was from an article about other people's problems that so far I think are much worse.
