While I think its extremely important for journalists to report stories on trends in specialist areas within our regions (as well as news stories), this programme fell annoyingly short of expectations, in some places, It was as though there were lots of fear mongering by telling audiences of where professionals are going wrong as opposed to stating what can be done to have an immediate effect and how we can support ourselves and local communities. This in effect results in poorly publicised media. There's an influx of tech availability to keep people safe and secure, as well as local resources that can support and signpost people to relevant services as well as act as deterrents for persons who could be at risk of criminal behaviour - electronic tagging, fines for rule breakers businesses and persons alike, deportation, disciplinary action at work, injunction orders, businesses into administration, restriction and isolation practices, restraining orders, public training for security measures and ultimately jail with extremely harsher punishments, as well as rewards for those who stick to, abide by and promote better health by means of compliance, things such as, promotions, tax breaks, financial incentives, and more. I can't held but also feel a little disgruntled towards the professionals on screen who are driving expensive company cars with their laptops and computers while those who are on probation are being hounded in their bedrooms for drug and alcohol testing (invasion of privacy) and are at risk of, or probably being kept sicker by those who they are putting their trust in to help. I think its also potentially criminal that the reporter has gained access to private files and is airing such things as where sex offenders and substance misuse persons are living, such things will not only put the offenders and staff at risk but also the public on a wide scale where information is shared without consent or at the very least limited consent (that one can be made aware of when watching the programme). Im sure there will be lawsuits for breach of GDPR and privacy laws as well as the professionals and reporters being brought into question on the ethics of their film making. I think on a larger scale, anyone who has jurisdiction over another individual on a management scale such as directors, executives, seniors etc should only be interviewed if they are more than happy to note not only their name and job title, but also their contact details for questions as well as what their job entails and the changes that they have brought about during their time working in their role. There are also far too many problematic items in the office, such as shouting, swearing, misconduct and gross misconduct, not liaising with police officers and more. Its a disheartening watch for those who want to see justice brought to innocent hard working people.
