Document Summary
The origins and evolution of police work chapter 2 & lecture 3 (lecture 1 was an intro) Policing in canada is influenced by england"s 1800 system of policing. But canadian policing, is different from england and the united states. (policing evolved into an institution in england) Full-time police forces, working under the state"s authority and enforcing codified laws, is a recent phenomenon. Before the emergence of centralized states with codified laws, order within groups was maintained through systems of self-policing. (retaliation was applied against those who broke group customs ) Self-policing was replaced with codified laws b/c society became complex, Ex: hammurabi"s code in 1200 bce. these codes of laws, were enforced by military authority, who prescribed rules of conduct as well as penalties for non-compliance (went from individual/group to centralized authority ) (kin-policing in greece) Before the industrial revolution &capitalism policing was a community responsibility.
