Right from Wrong (part 2)

Yokel is very relieved to learn that at least the Crown Prosecution Service can tell right from wrong. Even if the same cannot be siad of the City of London Police. There is even the suggestion that some hospitality a few years ago might have had some bearing. Surely not! But recent laws haven't helped any.

Yokel continues to be worried by the absence of Sir Robert Peel's Principles of Policing from the theory and practice of policing in the UK today. References to its importance can be found in Canada, on the web site of a local police force. But in the UK, reference the the Principles is the sole preserve of sites campaigning for the restoration of decent values, and the newspapers. There is no reference to Peel's Principles of Policing on any UK Police Force web site, except that of Jersey (at least not that could be found by Google).
