The 'policing' was through community & peer pressure - it's the community aspect that's missing today.
Having visible police known to local people will help make communities feel better, but I'm doubtful that it's a route to less crime.
'Bobbies on the beat' (dreadful phrase) might deal with low level ASB and minor offences, but I question whether it'll release officers to deal with the very serious - often intelligence led - crime that breaks families & communities.
There's no indication in the news that roads policing will be improved - it's a well established way of identifying criminal activity and improving public safety.
I'm aware that community police officers are seen as 'expendable', being dragged off when officers are needed for response duties or to assist with 'operations' - Starmer says that'll change but I'll believe it when it happens.
It's a mess
