UNIT 6. THE POLICE FORCES OF UK AND US TEXT A. The police force of Great Britain: historical aspect. The rise of the police as an organized force in the Western world coincided with the evolution of strong centralized government. The historical growth of the British police is of special significance for it is upon the British model that much of Western police is based. The development of law enforcement in English cities and towns grew out of an early reliance on bailiffs. Bailiffs were assigned the task to maintain a night watch, primarily to detect fires and thieves. They were small in number and served simply to rouse the sleeping population. Later cities expended the idea of bailiffs by creating both a day ward and night watch. British police practices became codified in the Statute of Winchester, written in 1285. In 1829 Sir Robert Peel formed the world’s first modern police force. Passage of the Metropolitan Police Act (1829) allocated the resources for Peel’s force of 1.000 uniformed men. The Metropolitan Police soon became a model for police around the world. They were organized around two principles: a) the belief that it was possible to discourage a crime, b) the practice of preventive patrol. “It’s better to prevent a crime than to catch criminals after its commitment’ was Peel’s philosophy. |
