Talk:Duty to protect

USA-centric
This article fails to mention whether this duty exists in non-U.S. legal systems. --Eastlaw (talk) 05:46, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Police duty to protect
Should add a section about this. Heard about this on RadioLab- several court cases have established that the police have no constitutionally mandated duty to protect any citizen from harm. Need reliable ( law review &other) sources, of course Lexein (talk) 21:31, 18 October 2020 (UTC)


 * My gut reaction is that this should go in a separate article because it's distinct from this because i. this is about mental health and ii. i think violating confidentiality is such a core part of this principle that adding things without this violation of confidentiality could mislead; iii. there is something very specific about simultaneously encouraging people to be completely open about their thoughts and feelings and then giving a clinician freedom to judge this information and divulge it to the police.
