The question why do people not come forward and speak with police.
Culture is a major factor and if one self identifies with a class or a sub-culture and has witnessed a crime reluctance and fear of rejection from the herd will deter people from coming forward.
Take the police for example one bad apple does something wrong but the whole police force will protect the herd regardless of the situation and the code of silence applies.
Young children today within the education system are taught from an early age do not get involved if they see something go tell a teacher or walk away, stay away from social drama gossip and that conditioning process is difficult to override.
Some fear reprisal if it is gang or drug related because of the resources available to the criminal element’s ability to inflict harm.
Police and the legal system in general are perceived as corrupt and media has reinforced this belief held by the lower layers of society and often fails to protect the poverty class or working class individuals.
A negative personal experience with the police or legal system is another deciding factor in people being reluctant to come forward with possible information.
Culture and conditioning is something so deeply embedded into a person that it is difficult to override it is us against them that collective mindset of people.
The last point is there is general apathy that exists within mainstream belief why should I waste my time or care, as it is not me or mine…
