okwithmydecayPolice ‘fail to protect’ women and girls from ‘unacceptable’ hate crime levels on TfL
guy_threepwoodAnd yet top of the list of what people seem to want is increased police prescnce?
This is a societal problem. It’s akin to people fare evading or vaping on trains - if they see police they won’t do it, but that’s essentially it. If people think they can get away with something it seems they will, so unless they constantly feel watched we can’t fix this with surveillance / enforcement. And that doesn’t seem like a good solution.
People need to understand right and wrong, and seemingly many do not.
I don’t know how to fix that.
this article says the people are not catching and punishing so there’s no feedback mechanism for these people to potentially learn from
So perhaps a sudden increase in presence, make an example out of a few people and hope others learn?
I dunno if I’d trust the police to manage that, but I do see the potential.
