We discuss policing incentives, resource pressures, the role of public bodies, and the question of accountability for senior decision-makers — including why victims and whistleblowers often feel the system protects itself.This is a difficult conversation — but one that matters if Britain is serious about justice, safeguarding, and trust in public institutions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
