In defence of the police officer on your point and I'm not saying this is right it's just an opinion that I heard from a police officer once.
What you have perceived as institutionalised disintrest, can be (from this officer's point of view anyway) doing you a kindness. Sometimes as you say the police officer believes that there is no chance of catching a person who has committed the crime, the he saw no point in subjecting the victim to the added violation that any investigation would bring. I'm not saying that this is always the cause, but sometimes the officer has done the cost (to you)/ benefit analysis in their head and feel that it's not worth traumatising you any further, where there is liitle chance of any benefit.
