Why do you think people avoid going to police?

People may avoid going to the police due to fear of retaliation or harm, especially in communities with high crime rates. There can also be a distrust of law enforcement, stemming from past negative experiences or perceived biases. Additionally, individuals might feel embarrassed or ashamed about their situation, or they may believe that the police will not be effective in resolving their issues. Cultural factors and a desire for privacy can further discourage people from seeking police assistance.
