A lack of confidence in the law means that witnesses are scared of reprisals and don't want to testify. To some extent a result of irresponsible gutter press printing sensationalist stories about offenders being sent on holiday, to a greater extent chronic under-investment in a prison system that is so full judges are instructed to let criminals walk the streets.

I don't see it getting any better.

Best regards to your family, here's hoping they aren't too traumatized.
