1.The principles of Sir Robert Peel are as follows: the basic mission of the police is to prevent crime and disorder. (Whitelaw, Griffiths, Parent, Griffiths, 2006, p. 8) The principle is still relevant in modern day style policing by having as many prevention strategies to reduce crime as possible just not all laying charges. There have been many efforts made to reduce crime and disorder through many tested and approved methods like Environmental design. The ability of police to perform their duties depends on the public approval of their actions. (Whitelaw, Griffiths, Parent, Griffiths, 2006, p. 8) This is still relevant to modern day policing and has evolved from traditional style policing because traditional style policing was a more aggressive,

(Whitelaw, Griffiths, Parent, Griffiths, 2006, p. 8). This still has an impact on modern day policing by making sure that the public are still stressing their concerns of the crime that is occurring in their communities. If there are no reports of this there is a lesser chance that the police will be able to address the problem and resolve it. The degree of co-operation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force. (Whitelaw, Griffiths, Parent, Griffiths, 2006, p. 8). This explains that if co-operation is used in a situation then physical use of force is not needed. Once a threat has occurred to a police officer, physical force is in need to protect lives. Co-operation is key. Police seek and preserve public favour not by catering to public opinion but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law. Remaining impartial to the law is important no matter the authority of the community member. Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be …show more content…
A big issue with CCTV’s is privacy rights of the public. Some may argue that having CCTV’s in public areas is an intrusion upon our rights. (Whitelaw, Griffiths, Parent, Griffiths, 2006, p. 100) Another issue that some may have is that CCTV’s only assist police with solving crimes after the crime has already been committed, which still causes victimization of an individual or individuals. (Whitelaw, Griffiths, Parent, Griffiths, 2006, p. 100) CCTV’s do little to influence public order offences, ex. Drunk in public, I believe this is because the individual is usually not in the right state of mind and may not even be aware that they are being watched or even care so there really is no influence of deterrence. I think that only putting CCTV’s in hot spots could encourage crime to spread to other areas where CCTV’s are not used, which could cause a snowball effect to more crime in the community. (Whitelaw, Griffiths, Parent, Griffiths, 2006, p. 100) This would be when crime reports and trends would need to be monitored to recognize where the crimes are now being committed once a deterrence has occurred. I would expect the community to support this initiative. The people of the community that are not doing anything against the law will feel an increased sense of security in their community and will be on board with CCTV’s. (Whitelaw, Griffiths, Parent, Griffiths, 2006, p. 101) Police would also support CCTV’s. This is just another added tool to increase case closures to
