In my lifetime, international terrorism and its devastating loss of life across the world has become a norm, scenes of devastation are regularly on TV and social media. However, if you look carefully when watching those dreadful scenes, there will always be someone there to help: a nurse, a fireman, a police officer, often heading in the opposite direction of fleeing crowds. These people and their jobs inspire me to work in the public service, and especially in understanding why people commit crimes, and how to prevent them. Recently I have been reading a book called Soldier Spy, Tom Marcus was recruited by MI5 after the 7/7 tube bombings in London to conduct an undercover mission.
