CJ 205 Module Five Practice Activity Template History of Policing in America American Policing: The Colonial Experience American Policing: Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries American Policing: Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries The North: The Watch Community members who worked to be a part of the “watchman” and their main responsibility was to send out alerts of immediate danger. Three cities Boston in 1636, New York in 1658, and Philadelphia in 1700, established the night watch. Although the watch was allegedly voluntary, many of the "volunteers" ended up being volunteers who were. being forced into duty by their towns or who were keeping watch as a means of punishment” (Potter,2013). The Urban Experience metropolita n experience was both ruthless and degenerate. Law authorizatio Policing from 1900 to 1960 1900: New beginning of a new police system. Officers patrolled the neighborhoods they lived in on foot. August Vollmer, “the father of modern policing” made sure police went to college and created a different system for juveniles (Olito,2021). 1920: J. Edgar Hoover created the FBI. Hoover ensured that neighborhood police were tackling street crime. As officers patrolled areas by car under this new arrangement (Olito,2021). 1960: African Americans began to challenge the way police treated them with riots, buycotts, and protests; in return police used rough tactics to keep order with tear gas, high pressure water hoses, and attack dogs (Olito,2021).
American Policing: The Colonial Experience American Policing: Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries American Policing: Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries n was given social assistance wo the Urban experience was both chaotic and challenging for everyone involved. For example, there has been an increase in urban crimes, migrant population has also increased. the increase of racial tension and violence. Conflicts among blacks and police have substantially lowered the efficiency of the police in urban areas ( Police on the Urban Frontier - A Guide to Community Understanding | Office of Justice Programs , n.d.). The South: Slave Patrols and Codes The Southern Experience Policing in the 1960s and 1970s
American Policing: The Colonial Experience American Policing: Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries American Policing: Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries The slave patrols were made up of civilians who monitored slave activity as part of their civic duty in exchange for reimbursement, benefits, or exemptions from other duties. The sole function of the slave patrols was to enforce colonial and state laws (Southern Slave Patrols as a Transitional Police Type | Office of Justice Programs, n.d.) The growth of American policing took a different course in the Southern states. The "Slave Patrol" served as a model for the modern South Carolina police force. In the Carolina colonies. These vigilante-style groups emerged from modern Southern police departments after the Civil War. They were primarily used to enforce "Jim Crow" segregation laws, which were meant to deny freed slaves equal rights and access to the political system (Potter, 2013). In the 1960s, in a society that denied black people equal justice, the police became symbolic of that system. Almost every American city saw racial unrest after police actions ( Policing the Social Crises of the 1960s , n.d.). To enhance relations between the police and residents of racial minorities, some police departments established police-community relations programs. Second, departments started affirmative action initiatives to hire and promote more women and people of color. Third, to lessen racial inequities in police shootings, some large metropolitan police departments created written protocols for the use of lethal force ( Policing the Social Crises of the 1960s , n.d.). No response required The Frontier Experience “In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a new variation of the Saxon practice of frankpledge called the vigilante emerged in the frontier areas of the United States. It was common for residents (also referred to as "regulators") to form "committees of vigilance" in areas where a formal justice system had not yet been established or where the primitive policing apparatus had proven ineffective in the face of rampant crime. These groups worked to combat crime and establish order where none had previously existed” (Britannica, 2019). Policing in the 1980s and 1990s crime rates were at an all-time high due to racial discrimination. This was also the start of the war on drugs, police officers trying to get drugs off the streets.
