Secret personal details of Britain's most dangerous criminals have been lost by the Government.
The public could now face an enormous bill to protect paedophiles, rapists, drug runners and killers from vigilantes or rival gangsters.
The names, addresses, details of convictions and even jail release dates of almost 130,000 people were all in Home Office files lost when a computer memory stick went missing.
What is NowPublic?

Babel, it's great you're highlighting all of these stories, but at the moment they are all just cut and paste from newspapers. Could you add some of your own commentary to the highlights so that NP users can see what you think about the stories?
Thanks.
