We humans are an imperfect bunch and even the brightest are prone to doing the stupidest of things. Among us are some truly brilliant, wonderful people, but unfortunately there are also many very nasty pieces of work out there too. Whilst this has nothing to do with nationality, race or religion, nature and nurture undoubtedly play a role in how we all turn out. We need informed debate about this to help shape our understanding of these issues.
What has all this got to do with securitycheck.co.uk?
However imperfect things are, and society will NEVER be perfect, we have to try and make the best of where we are. HERE is an opportunity for you to do that. YOU can help securitycheck.co.uk by contributing thoughtful comments, submitting stories and recommending improvements.
Even after years of development, this site will never be perfect, but every improving step will hopefully help. IF this site can in due course be widely perceived as a valuable resource for the community's general sense of security and safety, it will have fulfilled its purpose.
IF, on the way, you can assist this, you might help fulfill a tiny bit of your own purpose too.
N.B. This is an opening statement, liable to be changed as the site is developed.
