Summary

According to a study done by the charity organization Victim Support the public doesn’t deem the British police force very competent. This negative image is even stronger among victims of clime after coming into contact with the police. The people who conducted the study also took a look at other public services and found that the opposite rings true for those. Once people come into contact with these other public services (for instance, the NHS) they become more positive about them. The study also showed that the English and Welsh police have the highest concentration civilian staff in the world.

Response

To me this study shows that the English police should take a good look at how they treat their victims. If your public image is hurt when you come into contact with the people who you need to protect something is obviously very wrong. I have no idea what the English police is doing wrong exactly, but I am sure they have the means to investigate themselves and see what they could do to improve upon themselves. This they should do if you were to ask me.
