Survey The insufficient capacity of the government to deal with certain social issues at the end of the last century fostered the creation of a number of non-profit, non-state and spontaneous organizations. These organisations were initially designed to address a range of social issues and investigate events in depth through non-governmental status. From homelessness and poverty to human trafficking and military violence, the contributions of voluntary organisations are part of a broader spirit of 'community' and market-based solutions to urgent public problems. In addition, they have members from a variety of fields, from war correspondents to DNA bio-forensics to builders, and this teamwork can be more effective in enhancing the areas involved in investigating cases, as well as bringing the expertise of members from different fields to bear on in-depth investigations. As a result, in-depth research on social issues often results in challenging government authority and resisting or modifying national policies and programs.
