Why should we educate ourselves about The Public Duty Doctrine? Because when we cry foul to the criminal justice system's failure to protect, the system usually responds with: We had no legal duty to protect in the first place; and, if you gave the subject due diligence, you would have known the criminal justice system does not protect. Therefore, ignorance is no excuse.
Due diligence means you investigate first before you commit, you look before you leap.
