What is a breakdown in law and order?

A breakdown in Law and Order refers to a situation where the established legal and social norms are no longer enforced or respected, leading to widespread disorder, crime, or unrest. This can occur due to various factors, such as political instability, economic hardship, or civil unrest, resulting in diminished trust in law enforcement and the judicial system. In such scenariOS, citizens may feel unsafe, and the rule of law is undermined, potentially leading to an escalation of violence and chaos.
