However, the goal of public service is not specifically to suppress crime and provide protection to the public. While these are important aspects of public service, they are not the primary goals.

Effective public service can have many positive outcomes, such as support for budgetary requests, reduction in citizen complaints, and increased trust and respect. However, the reduction of crime is not directly linked to effective public service. While effective public service can contribute to creating a safer environment through various initiatives and policies, the primary responsibility for crime reduction lies with law enforcement agencies and the criminal justice system. Effective public service can support crime reduction indirectly by addressing social and economic issues that contribute to criminal behavior, but it is not the sole determinant of crime rates.Rate this question:

This shift in policing approach was influenced by factors such as the increasing urbanization, rise in crime rates, and the development of emergency communication systems. The focus on incident-driven patrol allowed for a more reactive approach to law enforcement, with officers prioritizing immediate response to reported incidents rather than actively patrolling and preventing crime.Rate this question:
