Document Summary
Egon bittner: policing as non-negotiated solutions backed up by the potential use of force". The origins and evolution of police work in canada. Britain and us helped shape practices and institutions of canadian policing. But often a reflection of community self- organization, not necessarily codified by large, bureaucratic systems of rules and laws. Specific designated authorities with some responsibilities and powers. Associated with robert peel- in 1829 the metropolitan police act was enacted, establishing a full-time, unarmed police force of one thousand men in london. Upper class saw it as something that was over to over regulate them, lower class thought they would only crack down on them. The public and many politicians were concerned about the power that would be vested in a formal police force, and when peel finally won acceptance of the plan for london, he was denounced as a potential dictator.
