Document Summary

Chapter 4: the structure and roles of the police. First full-time police force was created in london in 1829 by sir robert peel in response to increasing fear of crime and disorder associated with the industrial revolution. Before this, policing was a community responsibility based on the notion that every individual was responsible to his/her neighbours. To create a professional police force and to reduce public suspicion and distrust of the police, he established high standards of recruitment and training and selected constables from the community. Before canada existed as a country, laws were enforced on an informal basis by community residents. For many years, policing remained closely tied to local communities. As settlements grew and the demands of law and order increased, this arrangement lost its effectiveness.
