Also was a time when communities would care for the weak and often deal with minor incidents without involving police. Now that would end you in more trouble. And some offenders are good barrack room lawyers - too many rights without responsibility.

And communities (not all) are often more insular, spending more time at home in front of 230+ channels, on-demand and the internet than getting out, meeting the neighbours and taking care of those that need it. And yes there are exceptions, usually in poorer and minority communities. Generally we don't honour the elderly and look out for the weak.
