Police

The world is a scary and dangerous place filled with thieves,murders, and bank robbers that terrorize the citys. The only manner to control what happens when people who decide to be thieves, murders, and bank robbers would be to have a group of individuals that solely dedicated their themselves to stopping people like that. We call poeple like that police men, individuals that take up the challenge of keeping order when things get bad. During the colonial days the towns would be taken care of by volunteers that would rely on night watch, volunteers in the town that would pick a night and would watch out for the people in the colonies as they did different things at night. But that never really worked because many times the volunteers would

The Magna Carta was an agreement between King John of England and his baron’s that limited his powers over the kingdom. Article 29 of the Magna Carta exemplifies the limitations of the king in favor of the people by stating, “No freeman is to be taken or imprisoned or disseised of his free tenement or of his liberties or free customs, or outlawed or exiled or in any way ruined, nor will we go against such a man or send against him save by lawful judgement of his peers or by the law of the land. To no-one will we sell or deny of delay right or justice” (Article 29 of the Magna Carta). The Magna Carta was an extraordinary step in history that has helped shape the forms of government that we practice today. This document laid the foundation of the democracies that were yet to come. The creation and implementation of the Magna Carta was a significant historical event that took place during the Middle Ages. Although it is one of few written documents that took place during this time period, it is surely one of the most important events in

Yes, this indeed was a legal stop. This was a legal stop because under the stop and frisk exception police can stop a person on the streets and pat them down for illegal objects, so long as they have suspicion. And, during my midnight shift patrol I found it to be suspicious that these two men were behind a closed business. A business in which has been burglarized in the past. I do believe that stop and pat down was justified. I believe the stop was justified because the suspect did not appear to fit the time or place, as it was midnight and the business was closed. A pat down is to stop any further danger towards an officer and other people. A pat down should only be used to detect concealed weapons or contraband. So, I believe

The most obvious thing to take away from the novel, Handmaid’s Tale, is that it a tells the powerful story of women trying to to fight for their lives. They were consistently talked down about, forced against their will and beliefs they were against, name called, and put to shame. All throughout the story, they had to battle against not only the whole government, but all men in a fight to receive even some form of equality. Margaret Atwood's use of words and character names played a key role in how these women were seen. These women were treated so poorly and unfairly in comparison to men, they were not even allowed to have real names.

I spent my third and fourth session of my practicum with Constable Dwayne Harrison and Constable Paul Davis. Both members of the Lethbridge Regional Police Service (LRPS) are in the patrol unit; responding to calls and investigating. Patrol work is broad, responding to calls that mostly consist of theft, mischief, and domestic. It defines the police as a public service and making the public happy to have someone to solve their problems.

Policing has been a part of America for many decades. In fact, policing was known to exist prior to 1066, the year of the Normandy Invasion of Britain. Throughout the years policing has been a complicated and ongoing progress. The people of England did not have a stabilized policing standard and were often responsible for protecting and serving themselves. As early as the 1600s the Colonial America introduced the English styles of policing; citizens were responsible for monitoring community members’ behavior. Early constables and sheriffs were with the increased rate of crime and developed a ‘sort’ in community policing known as “watch and ward.” Later throughout history in the early 1700s policing became an

In 1829, Peel succeeded in having the London Metropolitan Act passed by the parliament and this led to a creation of a 3,200-member professional police forces which replaced various law enforcement systems existing in London at the time (Goff 2017, pg.152). One of their key responsibilities was to serve the public by dealing with their situations by preventing and detecting any crime. This approach of policing was based on the policing by public consent, which meant that the police act for their citizens, and not over them. The public accepted this idea of modern policing, which was the right of the police to maintain law and order. This approach of policing became so well-known, that it spread to countries like Canada, the United States, and Australia.

Charlemagne merged power into a centralized government and entailed men to take an oath(Frankpledge). The Frankpledge is made of social control reinforced by oath to obey the law of the land. Today, in Law Enforcement agencies are officers are required to take an oath, and the Federal government unites law enforcement agencies. The Magna Carter was in introduced in England in 1215. The document limited the king’s power and gave the citizens of England certain rights. This document would be similar to the Constitution that officers swear to uphold of each citizen.(Conser, J., Paynich, R., & Gingerich, T. 2013 pages 34,

During the Medieval time period that Canterbury Tales was written in, there was a general depiction of women that they weren’t even looked at as humans, but looked at as objects. Women were thought of as weak, untrustworthy, and even less intelligent beings than men. Chaucer did not necessarily agree with the general consensus of women during the time period. Now there are tales that go along with the general impression of women, but there are also signs that Chaucer looked at women for what they really are and he might have saw them as equal beings. Chaucer was a great mind and that mind was far past his time, as he went against the tide when he wrote and he was not afraid to write whatever came to his head. Canterbury tales can show us what women had to go through in medieval times, and through Chaucer’s tales we can see what he thought of how women were were perceived and treated.

"John, by the grace of God king of England, lord of Ireland, duke of Normandy, Aquitaine and Hazzard, and count of Anjou, to his archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls barons, justiciars, sheriffs, ministers, bailiffs and all his faithful men, greeting."1 So begins the most famous legal document of the Middle Ages. The Magna Carta was a product of the power struggle between King John and his barons in the year 1215. Although it was intended to address concerns that were specific to its time and place, it became a high water mark of legal freedom for centuries to come. This essay will examine the events that caused the Magna Carta to be written, the key provisions it contains, and the effect it had on the law of England and

The movie ‘Policing the Police” is a documentary with INTERVIEWS done of citizens and the Newark Police Department. The first word I thought of when I began watching this movie was DYSFUCTION. From both the police and citizens stand point. The Newark Police Department seems to lack organization and communication. The city is a mess with gangs and gun violence. I believe this movie can have both the CONFLICT and FUNCTIONALIST theories applied. Looking at it from a conflict perspective the police and community are having somewhat of a power struggle. The community feels it’s being targeted and its members are being STEROTYPED just for being young African American men. For example, the citizens feel as though they are being profiled and unconstitutionally

Describe the colonial period’s three legacies to contemporary policing. Then list and discuss two powerful trends in England and America that brought about changes in

Law enforcement continued to develop as cities and towns relied on bailiffs, or “watchmen.” Bailiffs maintained a night watch to detect fires and spot thieves. However, the bailiffs were still too few in numbers to handle most emergencies, but they could wake up a sleeping population to assist. Larger cities continued to expand night watch into day wards. Finally, in 1285 the Statute of Winchester codified British practices. The statute officially created the watch and wards, mandated the draft of eligible men to serve, criminalized citizens disregarding another citizen’s outcry, and required citizens to maintain weapons in their homes.

The women of the Iliad play significant roles in the Trojan war, regardless of whether or not their role is active. Although they do not take up arms and fight, Chryseis, Briseis, Helen, and Andromache all impact both the outcome of the war as well as the lives and reputations of those in it.

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
