1. policing
Chapter 5

2. In the beginning….
Frankpledge- members of a group were responsible for keeping order and bringing violators to court.
They were fined if they did a bad job.
Statute of Winchester- just like the frankpledge system except they were supervised by a constable
Watchmen- patrolled the town at night and would light street lamps and put out fires. “2 o’clock and all’s well.
Why did they need someone to keep order? Obvious answer, Let’s come up with three reasons.

3. First cop
Robert Peel got the Metropolitan Police Act passed. This created the London Police force.
Organized like a military unit.
Called “bobbies” after Peel.
The Police Mandate
Prevent crime without using repressive force. Control riots without military
Maintain Public Order by nonviolent means
Reduce conflict between police and public
Show efficiency through absence of crime and disorder rather than visible police action.
Are these things important? Why?
Is there a relation between our police now and the police force then?

4. Policing in the us
Eras
Work with a partner or table and create a lesson talking about your era. This needs to be presented to the class so they can learn about your assigned era.
It can be a powerpoint, video, Worksheet, etc. You can do anything to teach the lesson.

5. Goals of policing Similar to the functions of the police.
1. prevent and control conduct considered threatening to life and property
2. aid people who are in danger of harm. Do they risk their lives to help?
3. protect constitutional rights- How does this look?
4. keep people and vehicles moving. How do they do this?
5. help those who can’t help themselves. Homeless, addicts, mentally ill
6. resolve conflicts. Just their presence can do this?
7. Identify problems. Gas leaks, traffic issues
8. create a feeling of security in the community. Why is this important?

6. Order maintenance
Preventing behavior that threatens or disturbs the peace.
Noisy people, loud music, panhandlers, bar fights
Police use discretion to determine to make arrests
What could happen to someone if they are arrested and not convicted?
Could they lose their job? People think differently of them?
How can this affect order maintenance

7. Law enforcement Factors that make this difficult
Time it takes to get to call
Victims of burglary often are not home. Delay in reporting
Victims of assault cant identify the offender
Community won’t help. Why won’t they help?
Any other things you can think of that can make enforcing the law difficult.
People don’t like the police because they give people attitudes and a hard time.
Students give teachers attitude and a hard time……
I’m not my sibling. Don’t judge me by their actions.

8. service
How can this help crime prevention.
Give examples

9. Types of police
Watchman style- stress order maintenance. Ignores small things. Only arrest major crimes
Legalistic style- marked by professionalism. By the book. Follow the law. No informal interactions with offenders.
Service Style- Helps community. Deals with small issues informally. The chick- fil-a officer.
Which one is better?

10. discretion
1. nature of the crime. Small crimes can be ignored if chosen.
2. relationship of the victims and offenders. Family typically won’t press charges
3. relationship between officer and others. attitude, etc.
4. race/ethnicity/age/gender/class- tend to arrest young male minorities than others
5. Departmental policy- policies of chief promote discretion
Should there be more regulations on discretion?
Question of ethics?
Go to d2l answer the ethics question under discussions.

11. Domestic violence
Violence by partner accounted for 26% of violence experienced by women.
Before 1970, ruled as a private matter. Rule of thumb
Afraid of reprisal for victim
Victims some times attacked police
Refuse to cooperate with prosecutors
Why is this?

12. Special populations Police deal with a diverse population
What does this mean?
What problems can this cause?
Mentally ill
Drug addicts
Juvenile runaways
Deaf
Do not speak English

13. Special Populations People might not understand instructions by police
Stereotyping people. We all do it.
Corrupt police in their old country
Lack of trust
Different customs and beliefs
Language barriers
Sometimes police presence can escalate a situation

14. Community crime prevention
Requires the entire community
Police can rid a neighborhood of crime.
But without community support it will be hard to keep it
Rewards for turning in people
