The Bow Street Runners were often considered ineffective due to their limited resources and lack of formal authority, which restricted their ability to enforce the law effectively. They relied heavily on voluntary cooperation from the public and often faced challenges in gathering evidence and making arrests. Additionally, their operations were hampered by the absence of a structured policing system, which meant they could not consistently maintain order or respond to crime comprehensively. Their effectiveness varied greatly depending on the individual runners and the specific circumstances of each case.

hi... The Bow Street runners was basically a more developed version of 'thief catchers' which were the previous form of detectives. However, the Runners were funded by the Court house on Bow street. i'm afraid I don't know exactly why it was created, just how, but I know that it was started roundabout the beginning of the industrial revolution, so the country was beginning to act on law etc at that time. hope this helps x
