History and Origins of Policing Students name Name of University History and Origins of Policing. The birth of policing in the United States narrowly followed the progress of policing in England.
In the first colonies, policing had two forms. It was both communal and informal, which is mentioned to as the Watch, (Spitzer, 1979). The watch system comprised a community of undertakes whose main duty was to notify of forthcoming danger. The night watch was not a chiefly effective crime control scheme. They often drank or slept on duty. Basically the watch system was an organization of constables, authorized law enhancers officers, usually waged by the fee scheme for permits they served. Within the Southern states the birth of American policing trailed a dissimilar path.
The origin of the modern police association in the South is known as the Slave Patrol (Platt, 1982). The first proper slave patrol was made in the Carolina societies in 1704. Subsequent to the Civil War, these vigilante-style administrations evolved in modern Southern police departments mainly as a way of governing freed slaves who had now turned into laborers operating in an agricultural background arrangement, and enforcing separation laws, planned to deny freed slaves equivalent rights and admission in the political system. (Reichel 1992) In conclusion with the expansion of the United States at an ever hastening pace, constable system and old informal watch was no longer adequate to control disorder.
Circumstantial accounts advocated increasing vice and crime in urban centers. Modern police forces in the America thus arose as a comeback to these disorders. References Spitzer, S. T. (1979). The Rationalization of Crime Control in Capitalist Society.
