HOw does the book make you think about justice?"

Right now I am reading the book "Fade" by Lisa McMann. In the book there are a teenage couple working on a case. They have to find out who the sexual predator is in the school (the predator is a teacher). This is a secret case and nobody can know about it.
In the book, the Captain (which is the boss of Cabel and Janie) doesn't tell the school community about what is going on. She keeps it a secret. All these teenage girls are at risk and the Captain doesn't keep these girls on point with what's happening.
I feel like that's how it is in today's society. Nobody is doing anything to get these perverts locked up in jail where they belong. To me these police don't care about anything. I don't know if I'm saying that because of the facat that I don't like cops but whatever. It's like they would study the case and then a year later they find the predator. Do you think it should take that long to find 1 person.
Also I've noticed how in the book they have the kids doing the work. The Captain is just there to collect the information, get the warrents they need, tell them what they need, and she's the one who puts them in jail. That's basically all she does. Now doesn't that lead you to think about how sometimes in society the adult figures just don't care. They act all lazy about the issue and just don't care. If it ain't there problem, if it isn't their child being raped they just don't care. The only thing they do is aware their kids of hte dangers and that's it. They just say,
"Sweetie, if you see someone wierd looking at you just walk away" or " Make sure you walk around with a group of friends so nothing happens"
Is that even enough? Shouldn't there be more awareness of this problem. There are a couple of things society does to help stop this problem. There are websites where their are the names and addresses of these rapist. I'm sure there are organizations to help the victims recover.
I don't think that people are too worried about this issue. Their too laid back as if nothing is going to happen to them. It may be true or it may not, who knows. But you should at least be aware of the issue.
