Document Summary
*discussion questions and upload to moodle by end of this week, 5 questions. Called on community to police themselves (community self- responsibility) Broke up communities and families into tithings- grouping of 10 families making them responsible to protect each-other. Hue and cry- issues in community delegated men to issue a cry for help, other member of tithing must respond to cry: watch and ward system (1285) Institutionalized the hue and cry (put into law) Required weapons in homes: earliest form of policing in the u. s. 1712: first full-time paid law enforcement organization: u. s. marshalls. Main focus was apprehending and detaining fugitives. * all of these are very responsive, were all made to just respond to crime: british influence. Thought it was possible to discourage and prevent crime by patrolling rather than occupying fixed posts. Had uniforms, rankings, and first to look at possibility to prevent crime rather than just respond. We cant hold police to this standard: secret service.
