Medieval justice: “Justice must not just be done, it must also be seen to be done.” –Law proverb. With no police force or highly centralised authority, law enforcement in Medieval England consisted of making people terrified to break the law. It also meant that law enforcement was largely in the hands of the community. For this reason, punishments were harsh and often just plain cruel. Unlike current times, the law represented little respect for the individual.
