“Apologies for not spotting your reply tishwash, but to answer your question: no.
Citations and referencing sources is appropriate in an academic journal, especially when using someone else's thoughts, ideas or findings to bolster or counter your own. This however, is an online edition of a local rag, and is purely relaying an incident by quoting a term used by another person.
But thanks for checking.”

“and does a quote not also require a source?”

“Allow me to educate you a second time tishwash:
The use of a quote can be outlined via a single or double quotation mark (or inverted commas). The standard in the UK is actually to use single marks, whereas your suggested double quote marks are the norm for the US. If you're in any doubt, please refer yourself to the Oxford Dictionaries webpage for clarification:

“If it was a quote it should be in quote marks (") not inverted commas”

“I believe they're using the term 'Staffie' in inverted commas to make it clear that they are quoting from a third party. I'm guessing either the police, the victim or a witness. I don't think they're trying to 'bring up images' at all.
The term 'Staffie-type' is commonly used by the police and veterinarians as the true breed is cross-bred with many others whilst retaining many of its visual characteristics.
All 'Staffie-types' should be added to the banned list as they seem to attract the wrong sort of owners in my opinion. Not the dogs' fault I know, but that's life.”
