Why do police 'restore peace'?
When a serious incident like the Rochdale stabbing occurs, it can cause fear and disruption in the community. Police deploy additional officers to 'restore peace' by increasing their visible presence, reassuring residents, and deterring further crime. This helps the public feel safer and brings a sense of normality back to the area.
