Compare And Contrast The Orthodox And Revisionist Perspective Of Policing

The four eras of policing are political era, reform era, community era, and homeland security era. The political era was between 1840s and 1919 where police agencies were underdeveloped, decentralized, and disorganized in their mission, role, and function. Police organizations nationwide were exposed for their inability to maintain order, to control crime, or to fairly provide appropriate services. The reform era occurred between 1920s and 1970s where police was removed from the political arena and established them more as members of a centralized, professional organization formed for the public good. The primary role of police in this era had contributed to the problems crating negative police-community relations. The community era was between

There were many significant developments in policing which aided the effectiveness of law enforcement in Britain from the period of 1830 to 1965. Reasons as to why developments were necessary in this period; firstly between the years 1829 – 1850 there was a steady increase in crime[1]. Secondly as time progressed criminals came up with ways to beat the policing system, therefore it was necessary for policing in Britain to develop, in order to keep on top of crime. Development factors such as; the establishment of the Metropolitan Police Force, passing of key legislation were key developments in policing

Since the 19th century, law enforcement and punishment has developed rapidly into the justice system we rely on today. Obscure laws that had become irrelevant in an industrial and post-industrial era were fast being replaced, and despite its lack of existence at the beginning of the 1800’s, policing standards are, today, high. The necessity for this drastic change in approach to crime has stemmed from the needs of industrial Britain, and the increased awareness of the public, and government, and their perception of crime and punishment. Rather than individual cases having a direct impact on these changes, in general they provide an insight as to the reactions of the public at the time, and along with the myriad of other cases, allow us

There are many different styles and strategies of policing. Some have been well established in history and others have been developed more recently. One factor each method has in common is the goal to improve law enforcement. Some of these styles include Community Policing, Predictive Policing, Hot Spot Policing, Intelligence Led Policing, Problem Oriented Policing, and many more. Each one has its own benefits and drawbacks that must be considered thoroughly in order to best target crime.

Crimes are being committed all over the world, and come every crimes there's a punishment along with it. During the beginning of the eighteenth century, crimes was spreading across London. London was forced to pass laws and acts to prevent crimes being committed. In Victorian, London crimes was rapidly growing, while causing problems throughout the city. England was forced to build more jailhouses for men and women, and increasing the intensity of punishments.

Sir Robert Peel’s London Metropolitan Police Act and his principles of policing have helped modern day policing in many ways. By gaining the public’s trust, enabling them to call local law enforcement when help is needed,

The dictionary definition of the police is “the organized civil force of a state, concerned with maintenance of law and order, the detection and prevention of crime, etc,” (Collins English Dictionary, 2002). This definition states the minimum of what the police actually do. Providing support for families, protecting society from criminals and responding to calls 24 hours a day 7 days a week are just some of the other roles that police have to deal with. In this essay the evolution of the police will be discussed as well as how the police are facing challenges.

Crime & Punishment Crimes are being committed all over the world, and come every crimes there's a punishment along with it. During the beginning of the eighteenth century, crimes were spreading across London. London was forced to pass laws and acts to prevent crimes being committed. In Victorian, London crimes were rapidly growing, while causing problems throughout the city. England was forced to build more jailhouses for men and women, and increasing the intensity of punishments.

It was in the rise of English Tudor (1485-1603) and Stuart ( 1603-1689) that punishment took several interesting twists (Mays & Winfree, 2009). It was before this time that more than 200 crimes were all punishable by death. It was also during this time that those that committed lesser crimes were punished with corporal punishment. It was during Tudor and Stuart that the punishments were changed. The punishment was given more on what the crime was instead of one punishment for all crimes. They began to remove the criminals from society and place them in workhouses and houses of corrections. The minor offenders would be placed in these houses and work on projects. This was done in hopes for reform (Mays & Winfree, 2009).

According to Introduction To Law Enforcement, The London Metropolitan Act of 1829 was a government subsidized police force established in 1829, passed by Parliament, and was led by Sir Robert Peel, after a greater demand for governmental intervention (Doerner, 2016). The sole purpose of the London Metropolitan Police Act of 1829 was to emphasize on a more organized law enforcement tactic that works better than current law enforcement methods that had flaws. Furthermore, society and social control were changing as well as demands for a type of law enforcement establishment that could possibly ascertain a degree of balance, and that was the first formal police organization founded by Sir Robert Peel (Bethel, 2016).   Sir Robert Peel has influenced

Since the founding of this country, to the wild west, and up to the present, the agenda of the policing bodies have been clear: to uphold and enforce the laws of our society. Of course the way they do this today had undergone changes from the first police forces of early America, law enforcement has seen trends come and go.

Sir Robert Peel had a huge impact on England, American, and the world policing. He is also known as the father of modern policing. In 1829 Peel persuaded the Parliament of England to create the London Metropolitan Police, which is now recognized as the first modern police force. Peel created three elements he incorporated into London Metropolitan Police. First was mission. The mission was crime prevention and what can be done to prevent crime from happening. The second was strategy. Peel created a strategy to that he had hope would deter crime. The third was organizational structure. Peel set up hierarchical organization, a standard uniform, ran designations to police officers, and a chain of command similar to the military’s (Walker & Katz, 2011).

The delivery of punishment has changed significantly over the centuries. Up until the 19th century in England, imprisonment was not regarded as a punishment, it was merely used while the offender waited to be sentenced to their ‘real’ punishment (Bull, 2010; Hirst, 1998). Corporal punishment such as flogging, branding and mutilation, death by hanging, and transportation to other continents such as America and Australia were common punitive measures through the ages, until well into the 1800’s (Newburn, 2003). Although these extreme penalties are no longer acceptable or practised by criminal courts in England or Australia, in some ways, the past has

Police forces or Law enforcers have been used for centuries all around the world but America took particular interest in the English’s policing system. America’s policing ideas and process began

Although you may think America’s 19th century punishments were harsh enough, England’s punishments and corrections are by far worse. American’s would “leg iron” criminals, while in England, they would crucify, hang, burn, and hammer nails into their ears. England constables could honestly punish/torture who they wanted for doing the littlest of things. It is believed that 19th century England was corrupt with the was the chose to punish their civilians.
