...Introduction “Police history” predates the evolution of the “police” as a permanent occupational group within a bureaucratic institution, providing the primary state response to crime and disorder. That was primarily a development of the 19th century and a reaction to the rapid social change of the industrial revolution and rapid urbanization. Prior to 1800, governments maintained order by a variety of means, local and national. One of the key historical debates concerns the effectiveness of these approaches and the degree of continuity between the premodern and modern police models. Around 1800 a small number of distinctively different types of police institution emerged. The French, under Napoleon, instituted the Gendarmerie, a state military police model. It evolved from the “Marechaussee,” which had had a dual military and civil function since the 16th century. The model was exported across Europe by Napoleon. The British developed two models. The first, set up to answer similar challenges to the Gendarmerie in France, was the Royal Irish Constabulary model. It was close to the state military model, but distinctively styled as part of the civil power of the state and subordinated to the Magistracy. The Irish model was subsequently exported to Britain’s colonies and became the basis of forces such as the Indian Police Service. The Metropolitan Police was consciously created as a local force with a uniform that was deliberately different from the military and a mission that...

...judicial jurisdictions in the United States, federal, state, and local. These division are divided to work in different departments to reduce criminal activity. The Department of Homeland Security, is a “cabinet department of the United States federal government.” Its main duty is to protect the United States of America from terrorist attacks. Law enforcement began in England around the year A.D. 1200, their main purpose was to capture habitual thieves and bandits. A person who committed an offense and was not identified, he or she was usually chased by an organized posse. All victims were obligated to join the posse, to help apprehend the offender. The development of law enforcement in English cities and towns grew out of an early reliance on bailiffs or watchmen. Bailiffs were assigned the task of maintaining a night watch, primarily to detect fires and spot thieves. In the early eighteenth century, Jonathan WIld ran an organization built around a group of organized robbers, thieves, and burglars. Wild would negotiate with the owners for ransom of their possessions. Henry Fielding became a “magistrate of the Bow Street region of London.” Fielding then put together a group known as the Bow Street Runners, who were officers dedicated to promoting change. Sir Robert Peel , formed a more modern police force in 1829. Peel handpicked 1,000 men who became the London Metropolitan Police Force, also known as the new police. The Metropolitan police were organized around two principles:...

...Police Influence on Society Andrea Cole CJA 344 September 14, 2015 Professor Brian Bugge . How the historical development of policing in the United States relates to the current relationship between police and different ethnic groups and social classes. Policing in the United States has grown tremendously, so much so that it is the largest most visible portion of the criminal justice process. Throughout its history, this country’s law enforcement system continues to change and advance. However with change and growth comes conflict, distrust, brutality and animosity between law enforcement, the many different ethnic groups and social classes that make up society. Notably the most well know volatile relationship is between the police and African Americans. The aim of this paper is not only to recount the historical development of policing in the United States, but how it relates to the current relationship between law enforcement, different ethnic groups and social classes. Sir Robert Peel of England founded the first modern police department, the Metropolitan Police of London. Before the Metropolitan Police became active every capable person was charged with the responsibility of contributing to the policing of their community. Because of this society was more trusting of the police. In essence it was community policing and neighbors looked out for one another. The relationship between the policing organization and the...

...international, state, and non-government bodies. Each organization influences each other, but it is evident that the United States holds a singular importance in the system. Ever since the country entered the global stage, a far change from its beginnings as a nation with expressed neutrality, it has continuously played a growing part. The United States is able to play a part in the global legal system through its large influence in foreign affairs. Considered the current hegemon, it has been able to for simplicity sake dictate through its many outlets its preference of a legal system. They have been successful in this agenda with the assistance of the powerful Department of Justice, their numerous government agencies, as well as with the influence of American economic and humanitarian programs, among others. This paper will try to explain the United States’ power and influence of the global legal system, through practices such as transgovernmentalism and positive comity as well as by such bodies as the United States Supreme Court, the Department of Justice, the State Department, and the U.S. Agency for International Development. Also investigated is the United States’ role with international bodies such as the International Criminal Court, an organization that America disagrees with and has refused to join. Some questions however remain; through its global programs and supremacy, has the United States been affected by foreign influence? Has the United States tried...

...Police History CJA/214 Policing has been around for many years. Policing was known to exist prior to 1066, since then there have been many changes to policing styles. Throughout this paper I will be discussing police history by describing the impact Sir Robert Peel had on the way police operate and also by looking at the relationship between the United States government and the policing organizations throughout the United States and how it may affect police practices. Policing has been a part of the world for decades. In the early 1600s citizens were responsible for monitoring each other’s behavior; it was known as “watch and ward”. Later on in the 1700s, policing became more religious based. By the 1800s, policing had developed and established into a more structured organization. While many historical figures had a hand in developing the concept of today’s police guidelines, Sir Robert Peel’s nine principles have had a profound impact in the police community. Sir Robert Peel is known as “the father of modern policing” served as Home Secretary of England when he designed a collection of different elements and ideas that would eventually evolve over the years. Peel believed that policing should accrue within the community and not by military forces. These nine principles were designed to hold the police accountable to a set of rules of conduct. He envisioned police working closely with...

...Exclusionary Rule Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Exclusionary Rule is constructed on the state constitution of the United States, which requires that evidence or materials qualifying as such, obtained by the arresting or case officers in violation of a suspect's right of freedom from unwarranted searches and arrests are not admissible in the said suspect's case in court. That is; the exclusionary rule dismisses evidences that are obtained by abusing a delinquent's fourth amendment rights. The amendment is mandated to protect the citizens from illegal searches and arrests by law enforcing agencies. Per se, it can be regarded as the hallmark to the flourishing respects for the fourth amendment right in the United States. It is imperious to acknowledge that the rule was made in courts and not the conventional legislative protocols that involve statutes and members of the congress. It was a creation of the Supreme Court and, thus its application is confined within the jurisprudence of the legal system. The historical development of the exclusionary rule dates back to the 1990s. Whilst the development of the rule itself is uniquely American portent, the principle it protects and the justifications for its existence links to the vey origin of western civilization. To effusively grasp the advent of the exclusionary rule as promulgated in Boyd v. United States, it is critical to identify the theoretical foundations of law developed in Britain and America. Principally...

...How Can Technology Help Law Enforcement in the United State of America Combat Crime Name Institution Organized crime has been a serious concern in the Unites States America for numerous years. The Mafia group was the first known to be an organized crime gang. The Mafia has been powerful organized crime group existed since the 1970’s. The group was known to be planning on how to hijack the people of the United State of America. Technology can help fight organized crimes and safeguard the United States of America. The United States believes that people planning criminal activities should exist in countries that are not stable or rather be in countries that are always in conflict within the nation. The third world countries are the most affected. The main reason is because the countries lack modern and insufficient lawmakers and law enforcement personnel. These countries are not able to purchase the modern technology to fight organized crimes. The agenda should be able to share the intelligence information among the neighboring countries to allow safety and peace among the neighboring countries. The united states should form a network of anti crime which can spread and affect the country's stability and even the neighboring European States. Through technology, sharing information about group crime and mostly the most wanted groups to make work easier to track the criminal groups New technology helps in doing research.The research technology can help in enhancing...

...Police Agencies and Jurisdiction The development of police agencies was a necessary part of US history because of crime and the need to contain and eliminate as much of it as possible. Local, state, and federal agencies were created to protect and serve. Part of the process to assist in assigning authority is assigning jurisdiction; mapped out regions for the many precincts. Before the evolution of law enforcement in the 12th Century, an organized posse came to the rescue of victims. According to Schmalleger (2009), “all able-bodied men who could hear a victim’s cry for help were obligated to join the posse in a common effort to apprehend the offender.” A posse was a real-life version of neighborhood watch. In the 12th Century it was determined that offenders weren’t handled as well as those in charge want them to be so a more pure form of law enforcement was created and put into action. Laws, statutes, mandates, and many other guidelines and rules were put forth to follow and uphold. And it was made clear by the sheriff that punishment would befall anyone who disrespects them without good reason. To continue a personal level of protection needed as the population grew, local agencies were formed. In the 18th and 19th Century, Mayors were merely figureheads; the wards and neighborhoods held the true power of the land. Political leaders chose a certain precinct’s police officers. According to Uchida (2004), “each police officer had to establish his own...

...United States Law Enforcement United States Law Enforcement Elsie Farias CJA/204 Introduction to Criminal Justice Professor William McCauley University of Phoenix November 9, 2011 United States Law Enforcement Police agencies, the field of law enforcement, were developed as the embodiment of the laws created by society, government, being physically enforced. The objective behind these agencies is to protect individual and community rights as well as reduce the civil disorder. In the U.S. alone, there are thousands and thousands of law enforcement agencies ranging from local, state and federal levels. Each agency’s jurisdiction that is”the extent or range of judicial law enforcement or other authority…” (Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of Law, 2001), is set forth by laws including procedural law which is defined by the United States Supreme Court. As of September 11, 2001, the framework for all the police agencies was altered completely by the development of the United States Department of Homeland Security. The jurisdiction at all levels of law enforcement was restricted as well as the application of services. The American Law Enforcement system, that is, uniformed police officers responding to calls and investigating possible crimes, was developed hundreds and hundreds of years ago in England. At the time, the goal was to prevent crime by using constant patrols of the community. In the United States, the first police agency was established in the 1840’s in...

... a group or enterprise. From the humble beginnings of a small tribe in the Mesopotamia to the great lands of Rome, the development of security and the idea of securing valuable assets was always evident, whether through bloody wars or building of structures such as the temples and pyramids. The behavior can be seen from early development in childhood such that as a toddler. When the toddler is exclaiming “mine” it is an act of protecting what is his or hers. The idea of security has been engraved in our human DNA, so it seems. The history of security advanced from mediocre beginnings to a more superior technology from early history into the twenty first century. What was once a disunified nation of scattered settlements was able to unify with establishing precise security measures from its earliest beginnings of becoming a nation. The chapter in the book describes security as “achieving safety, protection, and freedom from threats and danger.” In the earlier part of history people built fortresses, watch towers and even great walls like that of China. Ancient times relied on castles built with stone walls high from the ground with moats, relied on scouts on horseback or vulnerable spearmen and even knights as personal security. Ancient times relied on an army for all security measures. There were no security branches to derelict duty and there was no police department or national security department to oversee other areas of a nation’s security needs. The overwhelming task to...
