Violence and death threats against social workers just "part of the job" as 70% of incidences go uninvestigated
"Social work is one of riskiest, low paying job that gets little to no recognition. Often times alone, Social workers go into the homes of people who may be psychiatrically unstable, members of gangs, sex offenders, or even people who have previously been convicted of murder. Most social workers believe (rightfully so) that most of their clients are inherently good and have made or are trying to make positive changes in their lives. However, there is still risk to visiting these homes, as well as meeting in small, private offices alone with them."

I am sure that IS true. In a few years, technology will have an answer. There will be robotic police/social workers/1st responders-controlled by a stable, highly paid social and response person. This will be sooner than most people imagine. Will save lots of money from patrol cars idling and causing CO2 emission. Will be safer and fewer wrongful death lawsuits. Many other advantages A "just-in-case " swat squad may be required if the machine gets hacked or put out of commission. The disadvantage will be that the laid-off Police numbers will add to the unemployment (30-40%) resulting from ALL AI and Robotic replacement. That much unemployment will have other social problems like psychological and adaptive stress. Hopefully, that will smooth out. Few TV'ers will want to read this next stmt. But, Andrew Yang, a Presidential candidate that was ignored, predicted the large unemployment-not myself! Enjoy knocking THAT post.
