The police are constantly under scrutiny. They are criticized for
failings, praised for successes, and hailed as heroes for their
sacrifices. Starting from the premise that every society has norms
and ways of dealing with transgressors, A Short History of Police
and Policing traces the evolution of the multiple forms of
'policing' that existed in the past. It examines the historical
development of the various bodies, individuals, and officials who
carried these out in different societies, in Europe and European
colonies, but also with reference to countries such as ancient
Egypt, China, and the USA. By demonstrating that policing was never
the exclusive dominion of the police, and that the institution of
the police, as we know it today, is a relatively recent creation,
Professor Emsley explores the idea and reality of policing, and
shows how an institution we now call 'the police' came to be
virtually universal in our modern world.
