Document Summary
17th to 18th century, revolution (e. g. french revolution 1789): change in the art of governing: changing the society they are living in concerning liberty, freedom and inequality, revolutionary ideas democracies, liberalism. Challenged: the idea king and church as authority, the idea of authoritarian governance: abuses of power and religious traditions and moralities. Society organized differently: new social order (white, haines, eisler p. 44). Making laws and crime: authority from religious and feudal power to science and the modern state. Modern state as the institution of power (not king/queen or church) Comes into being by electoral processes, population as power holders and brokers. Prevent arbitrary responses of crime/violence and revenge. Establishment state-centered police apparatus, courts, prisons acting on behalf of the people. The people should be the power holders and the power brokers. Prevention of authoritarian power to take over again. Practices and processes that look out for the population. Criminology as a science must be neutral and objective.
