Document Summary
It gives us an idea of why current policing functions are so broad. We gain an understanding of the foundations for community policing". We can see how shifts in social norms have changed the role of police. It shows us how police have continuously shifted between service" and force" mentalities. In summary we get a better understanding of why police do what they do today. The roman empire had formal laws and a judiciary. The romans had roman legions, praetorian guards (bodyguards to augustus) and soldiers which were recalled to rome to protect against the british attacks. After the fall of the roman empire, germanic tribes moved into england (the anglo-saxons). This marked the time of anglo-saxon england (roughly 410ad to 1066ad). At this time, there were small communities of ten houses called tithings". Each tithing nominated an individual to be responsible for the tithing (called a tithingman). Shire reeves or sheriffs were responsible for each hundred.
