Very true. Maybe literally so in prisons, but (mostly) metaphorically so outside too; I think it's a very sad aspect of society. It means
wrong-doing is highly under-reported, and those who have little
practical power feel very afraid. Even in the few caases where they're
praised for what they do - referred to as "whistle-blowers" by the media
- they're still widely shunned, and life is made difficult (no-one will
employ them, for example.

He who prides himself on giving what he thinks the public wants is often creating a fictitious demand for low standards which he will then
satisfy. - Lord Reith
