Compare And Contrast The Orthodox And Revisionist Perspective Of Policing

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).

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

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.

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,

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

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.

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.

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

There are four styles of policing; crime fighter, social agent, law enforcer, and watchman. The crime fighter is focused on the victim instead of the perpetrator. While individuals that fit this category are willing to do the day-to-day operations of a police officer, they feel as if misdemeanors and social service is beneath them and should be handled by a lesser government agency. The social agent can be categorized as an everyday problem solver for the community. These individuals are willing to assist with the homeless, school-age kids, and those who need emergency service which is a great attribute for community police units.

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.

Throughout the eighteenth century in Britain, severe punishments such as public hangings and floggings were used in an attempt to stop the growth of crime (Picard 2009). Although, towards the end of the eighteenth century, Beccaria and Bentham’s philosophies were impacting the way penal punishment was perceived with many people angry at the punishment for small crimes such as theft. These changes resulted in moving away from the death

The British penal system has an expansive history, and much of its background also forms links within the systems of other countries. Justice and punishment for those that had committed crimes were ideals desired even during the medieval periods and there is evidence to support this claim. As early as the medieval periods-referring to as early as the 5th century, crude methods of punishment such as drownings were seen to have been carried out. The use of dungeons was also in place, and this could be regarded as the early, budding ideology of having a facility that could hold those that had violated the law. By the 10th century methods of punishment for those that committed offences were already slowly evolving, for example, more inhumane methods had risen such as the emergence of hanging. It is

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.
