British Do Not Bother To Complain About Police
UK -- According to a recent survey more than 20 million Britons do not believe it is worth complaining about police behaviour.
The survey, carried out by The Independent Police Complaints
Commission found that the British public thought official
complaints about police would be handled ineffectually, time
consuming and bureaucratic.
The survey also found that 75% of adults would complain if they
were 'really annoyed' with a police officer, with women slightly
more likely to complain than men.
It was also found that younger people and those who had recently
had a bad experience with police were less likely to complain.
The IPCC is concerned that if people do not complain to the
organization responsible then the problem will never be put
right and the same thing will keep on happening. A spokesman
said that the IPCC would use the survey as a benchmark for its
progress in coming years.
