Selected Goal
The selected goal is the Protection of vulnerable communities.
Significance of the Goal
The goal is important as it addresses key issues that affect the humanity of different communities. Protecting victims of crime from being exploited and re-victimized by society, as well as being murdered through mob justice, is the primary focus of this goal, along with the detection of crimes and criminals and the identification of opportunities for prevention. Protecting human rights is of the utmost importance; consequently, all individuals, regardless of their communities, should be respected. This objective seeks to ensure that the human rights of marginalized communities are respected. According to Global policing goals (n.d), the goal helps develop robust networks of experts to exchange information, best practices, and operational activity, which in turn disrupts the profit element of the criminal business model. In addition, the goal contributes to identifying and disrupting illegal financial streams and profits generated by this type of criminal enterprise model. This goal impacts society and individuals as it advocates for the inclusivity of marginalized communities.
Relevant Topics to the Issue
The elimination of inequality, the promotion of decent working conditions, and the economy’s expansion are all connected to this topic. The human rights protection of vulnerable groups associations makes good use of this goal when dealing with criminals (Fritz et al., 2019). Regions impacted by the issue are areas of refugee camps, children’s homes and residences for the elderly. People living with disabilities and women are impacted by the issue as the goal is to fights for the rights of the less fortunate in society (Fritz et al., 2019). A potential obstacle to making this goal effective is the lack of civic knowledge of human rights among vulnerable communities.
