I fully understand why people don't want to use the legal system. Using national data, the resolve rate here for basically anything is in the single digit. If you get robbed, assaulted, home invaded, harassed, sexual harassed, threatened, defrauded, or are victim of any of a very long list of different crimes, your time is likely better spent doing something else then report a crime. The biggest reason to file a report is to give the government data that a problem exist, rather than expecting any resolution.
Personally I have made three such reports, including two home invasions, and it is not hard to guess how many have ended up in court.
In order to fix this we could change the law and the legal system to push the resolve rate up, but there is many good reasons why society have chosen not to do that. Parallel system is much easier as long the right persons get targeted.
