Just a couple of questions to get us started?




Where are you taking tonight’s class from?




What are your career goals?




What do you think of when you hear the word “sheriff”?




English and Colonial Officers of the Law

Sheriff From the term shire reeve – shire

meaning “county” and reeve meaning “agent of the king”

Basic source of rural crime control

Posse Comitatus





Constable Traced back to Anglo-Saxon times Variety of duties, including collecting

taxes, supervising highways, and serving as magistrate

Constable faced disintegration in the colonies

Untrained and believed to be inadequate as officials of the law





Coroner Elected office Coroner Inquest to determine cause

of death and the party responsible Duties duplicate of Sheriff duties to

investigate suspicious deaths Debate over qualifications that are

not standard




The Old English System of Policing

American policing can be traced back to English heritage

Frankpledge system and tithing grouping men under direction of a constable which led to development of counties

Constable was the first police official with law enforcement responsibility greater than protecting neighbors

Office of constable declined around 1689




The Old English System of Policing

Corruption of the police led to the decline of the old system due to corruption “trading justice”

Early system was voluntary and informal

Growth of large cities, crime, and civil disobedience required that the system be changed




Policing in Colonial America

Colonies were free of crime as settlers were busy carving out a farm and a living

Only two crime waves during the 1600s County sheriff enforced law and crime was

very minimal and given low priority Voluntary policing system failed and

wardens appointed to hire watchmen Social and political unrest demanded police

action




Legacies of the Colonial Period

Colonists committed to local policing Republicanism that power can be

divided and allowed for community input

Henry Fielding “thief takers” Onset of the theory of crime

prevention Paid professional police officers




Legacies of the Colonial Period

John Fielding Bow Street Runners

Patrick Colquhoun Focused on police reform Police should maintain the public

order, prevent and detect crime, and correct bad manners and morals

Notion of proactive policing




Police Reform in England and America, 1829 -1860

Urbanization and industrialization brought about changes in policing in both countries

Sir Robert Peel Metropolitan Police Act of 1829 Stressed prevention London Metropolitan Police




Police Reform in England and America, 1829 -1860

Not well received by the people of London

“Peel’s principles of policing” Many are still relevant to today’s police

community Why did people in London resent

police? What is the result of poor policing?




Policing Comes to the United States: The Political Era, 1840s

to 1930s

Americans saw Peel’s success Reform movement began in New York Reform efforts were dormant until

1841 The mystery of Marie Roget? Police were placed under the control

of city government and city politicians Mayor chose recruits




Early Issues and New Traditions

Three important issues in American policing1. Police uniforms

Police did not want to wear uniforms New York City refused to rehire any

officer not wanting to wear a uniform




Early Issues and New Traditions

2. Police officers carrying firearms

Public viewed armed police with suspicion

3. Use of force Necessary and commonplace for

American officers




Meanwhile, on the American Front

Ethnic groups fought for resources and fought each other

Four groups assumed responsibility for law enforcement1. Private citizens2. U. S. Marshals3. Businessmen4. Town police officers




The Reform Era: 1900s to 1980s

Reformers sought to reject political involvement by the police

Civil service systems were created Scientific theory of administration

Frederick Taylor Emphasis on production and unity of

control




The Era of August Vollmer Modus operandi Value of scientific knowledge in

criminal investigations Police school Leading proponent of police

professionalism Insulate the policed from politics




The Crime Fighter Image O. W. Wilson Police role was redefined and the

crime fighter image gained popularity Professionalism came to mean a

combination of managerial efficiency and technological sophistication and an emphasis on crime fighting

Social work aspects were gone




The Wickersham Commission

Completed the first national study of crime and criminal justice

Made many recommendations leading to professionalism in policing

What were the major recommendations from this report to improve policing?




William H. Parker A firm believer in professional crime

fighters Transformed LAPD Administrative reorganization How would you define “Thin blue

line”?




A Retreat from the Professional Model

1960s Few inquiries concerning police

functions and methods to this point Police resisted outside scrutiny No need to challenge traditional methods

Five national commissions attempted to examine police methods during the 1960s and 1970s




A Retreat from the Professional Model

President’s Crime Commission Widely cited Brought policing full circle, back to

principles laid out by Robert Peel Focus on community relations




The Community Era: 1980s to Present

Redesign jobs based on motivators Team policing

Poorly planned Mid-management personnel

threatened Foot patrol became popular Problem-oriented approach to

policing




The Three Generations of COPPS

1. Innovation From 1979 through 1986 Herman Goldstein, James Q. Wilson,

George L. Kelling Small-scale experiments provided a

source of innovative ideas for others





2. Diffusion From 1987 through 1994 Community policing adopted quickly Generally limited to large- and

medium-sized cities Targeted drugs and fear of crime Emphasis on evaluating outcomes





3. Institutionalization Began in 1995 and continues today 68% of nation’s police agencies

adopted community policing Federal grant money
