3. 1. Domestic Security
The professional standing police force: comes to exist with the social unrest and rise in criminality following the industrial revolution
More aware of and more responsive to societal norms and conditions-it is well integrated into the society as compared to an army (SSR in Pakistan e.g. NAP etc. )

A correlation between how police organization and tactics have adapted to increasingly thinly connected and divided (socially and culturally) urban societies
Community Policing: Building trust and cooperation with the public. Officers regularly visit families and workplaces within their jurisdiction
The Broken Windows Theory (deterrence and the snowball effect)
Police States: when the police can operate outside the legal framework in practical terms (not accountable to public or courts)
