Document Summary
Reading summaries chapters 2, 3 & 4 + g20 summit case study. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact time in which policing started in canada, but in. Europe it began with rulers and emperors who defended with power those who did not agree with their power were met with war/armies. Citizens were left to fend for themselves through acts of aggression. Not until the ninth century did policing emerge as we know it today. King alfred the great announced that he would provide protection for his citizens in exchange for their absolute loyalty. This is where a neighbourhood watch (ten families tithing"s) system came into play as more people would look out for each other and then report crimes/criminals to the king and the king would decide on the punishment. A system in place where citizens must vow to uphold the law and take responsibility for their actions. Judges were appointed and courts became more formalized.
