Public mistrust

Public mistrust in the legal system accompanied by an alarming trend toward street justice appears to be on the rise, with a new LSI survey finding 57% of the public are dissatisfied with law enforcement and the majority believe that the police act unfairly and easily accommodate vested interests. An LSI survey in January 2010 found a 37% level of dissatisfaction, which grew to 41% in October 2010 and jumped to 50% in September 2011.
