The perception of police is ...Great thoughts, Sara. The perception of police is definitely a hot subject right now, for many reasons. And the lack of trust in the law is definitely something to consider when looking at how Viv (and Carly) approach their investigations. <br /><br />I'm also finding the 80s inspiration a little more 'sticky' in my mind, but haven't decided on my final project yet either!

Lots to think about. And I guess ...OK, book read! Lots to think about. And I guess my first question is why did Viv become so intensely involved. I understand her frustration at the way women were regarded, and lack of police commitment, in part due to the process and thinking at that time. But if every individual took law into their own hands, their would be no law. Maybe the intensity of feeling could have been put towards trying to right the process. <br /><br />Carly on the other hand, was immersing herself in her aunt's last known whereabouts, and had a really personal link. Except she too didn't really trust or go to the police. <br /><br />So what does this say about perception of police, not necessarily as people, but as a group locked in the framework of their rules/regulations/processes? Even today discussion around this continues regarding domestic violence. At what point can they intervene - death is really getting a little late in the process.<br /><br />And for inspiration for a make? - I am still thinking. Love all your inspiration posts, and I think the 80's inspiration is stronger for me. Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286531350427715397noreply@blogger.com
