Middle-class britons tend to like and respect the bobbies on the beat .
中产的英国人对街上的警察既喜爱又敬重。
On november 15th voters in each of the 41 police-force areas outside london will be able to choose a person to supervise their local bobbies .
十一月十五日，伦敦以外的四十一个警务区选民将选择一人管理当地警察。
Nowadays such forces are readier to fight protesters with distance weapons ( such as rubber bullets ) rather than grappling with them at close quarters , as british bobbies do .
Three points are perhaps worth making . The first is that the link between boots on the ground and crime reduction isn 't absolute : many factors influence the crime rate , of which bobbies on the beat is only one .
