Ahmad's boat race story was one I had seen before.
It has a great deal more than a grain (60mg) of truth in it.
Interestingly, however, the terminal paragraph of it speciifies the
Police management as the responsible parties.
If the same disparaging story is going around about them, a major
apparatus of the State even on a local level, should we seek parallels
there?
Neighbourhood watch
x prevention officers and advice
Design to reduce x rather than deal with it when it has happened
A pay structure which gives junior trainees a salary recognised as
being good, for
the specific reason that a worker who feels underpaid is prone to
corruption?
Given that the specific comparator in the story "The Japanese" is a
little diffuse, can we home in on that?
All Japanese? Japanese society? Japanese business management?
Among other features of Japanese management style which are widely
reported are a respect by employees for their employers, and of junior
public servants for senior ones. It is at least possible that this is
an element in our troubles, and also that the respected Japanese are
respected because they behave in such a way as to earn repsect,
definitely a facet of our trouble there.
