Who is to answer the child crying for help？Who is to protect the elderly couple？Who can win back the youngster hooked on drugs？Police，social workers，the voluntary organizations all must do respond. But that is not enough. We are the neighbors of that child，of that elderly couple，of that youngster. Upholding the law cant be left to the police and the courts alone. We are all involved.

Let us ensure that well bring them within our grasp.?诚然！我们雄心勃勃，但目标并非遥不可及。让我们确信，我们必将使之近在身边、得以实现。 In the past eight years something has changed in Britain，perhaps the most important change for a generation.
