People have quick and easy access to technology and this means that any situation they come across can be recorded and posted all over social media, it could help police with their investigations. But because most people are only recording bed experiences this gives people access to often only bad videos.

Because of the staff cutbacks within the Protective Services, there has been a lot more pressure on those who are still working. Their workload had gone up and they won't get as much time off to deal with the stress.
Therefore there will be a low mood across the team which would cause a low morale between peers.

The Macpherson Report & The Equality Duty

# data[].attributes.body
Prompted after the murder of Stephen Lawrence and highlighted the institutionalised racism within the police force. This report led to the Public Sector Equality Duty/ Equality and Human Rights Commission. This was created under the Equality Act of 2010. The Equality Duty was made so that all of the ‘protected characteristics’ would come under the equality duties. Because of this policy there shouldn’t be any unlawful discrimination. This report states that every complaint about racism should be seriously investigated. However this isn't always the case as years later we are still hearing about reports of institutionalised racism.

With the growing population the protective services have a lot more people to protect and help. However due to lack of funding the public services are unable to keep up with the growth. This has lead to increased waiting times in the NHS meaning some people aren't getting treatment in time. As well as this the Police aren't able to keep crime rates down as there aren't enough police to protect all areas.

During covid there was a lot of portrayal in the media of the NHS and all the good they were doing, but also how they were suffering to help us survive.
Usually the protective services are labeled as bad in the media however during covid the NHS were labeled as angels.
Pictures were posted showing us what NHS workers had to go through and wear daily to ensure our safety and then the UK finally understood why the NHS are great.

Because of the above issues, the crime rates are becoming higher and the general public aren't feeling safe. This puts the public services in a constant cycle. As then the general public don't trust the public services so they don't help them when they need information. This in turn heightens crime rate due to criminals not being caught.
