Throughout the years of history Law enforcement has upgraded in so many different ways. Dating all the way back to Ancient Rome Lictors to Medieval Terry Jones Outlaw and then to Modern day Scotland Yard. Law enforcement now in today’s society you would need evidence to accuse or to prove somebody guilty you can’t just accuse. But in Ancient maybe a little in the beginning of Medieval they would throw you in a river and if you drowned then you were considered guilty. But if you made it shore you were proven not guilty. Although in today’s society there are laws for every or most illegal thing you do.

Ancient Rome Lictors were to serve as bodyguards for their magistrates for when they are addressing crowds, the only time magistrates didn’t have lictors was when they are visiting free city or addressing higher status magistrate. The other half of the time they served as horseguards or opened gates and knocking on doors. Lictors carried fasces which is shown in image 1. The fasces symbolized capital punishment and that their magistrates held imperium (absolute power).
The Medieval outlaw represents freedom and justice for the common man. The outlaws inherit border territory which means they are protective over an area of land. The robber outlaw were effective functioning of the kingdom. At some point in everybody’s life they got outlawed. Folvilles outlaw were the kind of outlaws who righted wrongs. Folvilles were the younger sons of the minor of the privileged class. They left their lives drift into crime to support themselves to the style they were adapted to.

Iliana Roman was a self-made woman. She wrote the essay “First Job”. She was a young single mother when she started working. She tells us how she valued hard work, of how she used work experience as a way of education. She then went to cosmetology school to learn fashion. Afterwards she used past experiences -from both work and school- to open her own hair salon. She now is planning on going back to school for real-estate, and she sees herself as a role model to her sons and the young girls living around her.

The Middle Ages in Europe were scary times for most people. It was filled with violence, death, disease, inequality, and corruption of higher powers. Most people were left without any hope at all about life. Many thought no one cared about them, and that they were worthless. But the legend of Robin Hood gave many hope in a time of despair. The legends about Robin stealing from the rich and giving to the poor with his band of merry men brought hope into many people’s lives. That someone did care about them, and that maybe they’re plight isn’t so hopeless after all.
...for success, he robs his audience of the right to make certain determinations about characters such as Tarquin Superbus and Romulus because of his bias toward the motivation behind their actions. Livy’s The Rise of Rome was a grand effort and an amazing undertaking. Cataloguing the years of Roman history consolidated rumor and legend into fact, creating a model for Rome to follow. Livy’s only error in this vast undertaking was in imprinting his own conception of morality and justice onto his work, an error that pulls the reader away from active thought and engaging debate. In doing so, Livy may have helped solidify a better Rome, but it would have been a Rome with less of a conception of why certain things are just, and more of a flat, basely concluded concept of justice.

What is known of Rome’s early history today is relatively restricted. This is because a majority of documents from that era of time have been destroyed or lost. The only reliable source of information on Rome’s early history was Titus Livius Patavium, otherwise known as Livy, with his piece, The Early History of Rome. He writes on the history of Rome in order to preserve her older glory, and provide a warning to be aware of the repetition of past mistakes.

The system existed as three elements; despotic aristocratic & democratic (Module 4: Governing the Republic). The government consisted of the senatorial lifelong place of 300 wealthy men who dedicated their life to the Roman Republic and executive branch of two consuls chosen annually each year. As part of the roman political institution, the senate served as advisors to the consuls as well as made appointments of generals to lead armies into battle. Wealthy patricians, driven by rugged individualism and self-reliance, filled many of those seats. Aspiring political followed the cursus honorum, a sequential order of public offices held by aspiring politicians of military and political positions. From Quaestor to Consul, politicians abused the meritocratic system in the Roman Republic and tainted the virtue of Rome through abuse and corruption. Military achievement and merit replaced the lineage and patron pathway to politics and as a result, it planted a seed leading to corrupting paths for many politicians, most notably, Scipio Amelliaus
The principle of the Roman government was to function for the people, hence classifying them as a republic (Res Publica or the Thing or Matter of the People). Before the commencement of the Republic, Rome was ruled by a line of Etruscan kings called Tarquins. The last Tarquin was described by Roman historian Livy as being harsh towards the Romans, as he promoted hard labor. He decreed the construction of the Great Sewer and the seats of the Circus, which were not the primary cause for the dread of the Roman people; the workers were also responsible for their typical military duties (Livy, 98). After the Tarquin monarchy , the Roman people had an everlasting fear of ever being subjected to a monarchy again. In order to maintain a balanced legislature, the government was split up into three branches: magistrates , the Senate and popular assemblies .
Talking about Europe, the Law Enforcement system intrinsically incorporates the notion of police. The word "police" is Greek and originally meant a state, city (Wakefield, 2009). From the XIV century, its value begins to change, and by the police, over time, people began to see only the activities in the field of public order, which were carried out by state coercion. In the modern form the police unit was formed in Europe around the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. During this period of history was finally completed the process of functionally-organized formation of police systems in most of its countries.
The image created for the outlaw hero is the “natural man.” They are adventurous but also wanderers, and loners. Outlaw heroes are more likely to commit a crime, use weapons and carry guns. The outlaw hero represents self-determination and freedom from conflicts. On the other hand, the official hero is portrayed to be “the civilized” man. He often follows the norms of society, and has typical roles such as a lawyer, teacher, and family man.
This new Republican government, which was administered by the consuls, was not the easiest to transform. Because of the expansion in Italy, the government began to initiate political institutions. These institutions enforced laws and provided authority which were very similar to imperium. “The Romans had a clear concept of executive authority, embodied in their word imperium, or “the right to command” (Spielvogel 117). Since the Romans were very sensible in their actions, they made and implemented them only as needed. The most essential positions held were the few elected magistrates and the two consuls who were “chosen annually, administered the government and led the Roman army into battle” (Spielvogel 117). If the consul was otherwise occupied, either a dictator or praetor would assume responsibility for the time being.
Time may pass and personal morals may change, but one of the strengths of the United States of America is its unwavering dedication to justice. Throughout time, this country’s methods and laws have grown and adapted, but the basis of the law enforcement’s work has remained the same: the safety and interest of the people.
Legions had various levels of command and the foremost commander was the Legatus legionis, often an ex-praetor. Beneath him were six military tribunes comprised of one tribunus laticlavius who aided the legate and came second in command. Then came the praefectus castorum who handled the camp logistics. There were sixty centurions who had their own rankings, and titles were based on the organization of the Manipular Army.
