CJ 231 Park University Structuring the Police After the Military Model Questions

 

This is a two part question in that the structure for policing in America was formulated on Sir Robert Peel’s (Metropolitan Police Act, 1829) perspective and an military model. 

Why do you think that he chose to structure after the military model? 

What effect do you think the political, reform and community eras have had on the fourth or, New Era, of policing?

Can elements from previous eras in history be found in today’s policing or is everything completely different?  Identify and provide examples.
