Model answers

ANSWER 1 On effect on public services is that the National Health Service (NHS)

has to treat the victims of crime.

ANSWER 2 On effect on public services is that the National Health Service (NHS)

has to treat the victims of crime so if there’s more crime, doctors and

nurses have a bigger workload.

ANSWER 3On effect on public services is that the National Health Service (NHS)

has to treat the victims of crime so if there’s more crime, doctors and

nurses have a bigger workload; this might mean longer waiting lists or

higher taxes to pay for more NHS staff.
