Are Britons "Passive Bystanders"?

According to the public policy group Reform, the “have a go hero” is an increasing rarity in Britain.

Survey evidence shows that, compared to other major European countries, UK residents are far less likely to challenge anti-social behaviour. At the same time British people are more worried about crime than their European counterparts. 43% of UK respondents put crime as one of their highest concerns, against 21% in Germany and 27% in the US.

The survey also found six out of 10 of the people questioned in the UK would be unlikely to challenge a group of 14-year-old boys vandalising a bus shelter, more than any other country surveyed.
