This is a video from BBC news reporting on crime based on a town which contains very high crime rates and low amount of police officers patrolling the streets. Its set in a town called Hartlepool and crime occurs very often and there are only 10 police officers patrolling the streets during the night shift and many violent crimes occur in the town. This means that since 1 incident involves all 10 police officers, this would mean that any other crimes that occur wont be able to be solved as one crime involves them all. Also across 14 stations, there are low numbers of staff as people fear to join the police force due to the danger especially in that town. The crime in Hartlepool is so bad and severe that the locals have gathered a team of people to secure their streets from criminal activity which displays how hopeless it is to contact the police. Incidents have been reported that police were called many times but failed to come as low amount of staff available.
