Study Notes

Traditional and Constitutional Monarchies

Traditional authority is often granted to monarchs by their subjects, leading to respect and power.
Monarchs' power has transitioned from absolute authority to largely ceremonial roles in modern constitutional monarchies.
Absolute monarchies claim divine rights and hold significant power, seen historically in ancient Egypt and medieval England and China.
The needs of clergy and nobility often limited the absolute power of monarchs.
Constitutional monarchies exist today where the royal family serves a symbolic role; the actual governance lies with elected officials such as a prime minister and parliament. Examples include Denmark, Great Britain, Norway, Spain, and Sweden.

Authoritarianism and Totalitarianism

Authoritarianism refers to political systems that restrict popular participation and repress dissent, governed by individuals or groups not elected by the populace.
Totalitarianism embodies the characteristics of authoritarianism but enforces stricter control over all facets of citizens' lives, often employing severe punishments for dissent.

Models of Policing

Police organization varies by the socio-cultural and historical context of different countries.
Policing by consent emphasizes community cooperation, prevalent in democratic nations like the UK; policing by law relies on state mandate.

Command Structure of Police

Centralized command involves a singular authority directing police forces, while decentralized command features multiple independent police organizations.
Models categorized by the number of forces include singular (one force) and multiple (several forces), with subcategories of coordinated and uncoordinated based on jurisdictional overlap.

Comparative Study of Police Systems

Saudi Arabia exemplifies a centralized coordinated police force with a direct line of authority from the king.
China has a similar model with its ministry of public security overseeing national public safety.
France represents a multiple coordinated police force, with a structured response protocol to crimes involving both patrol officers and detectives.

Problem-Solving Policing

A proactive approach aimed at crime prevention by analyzing patterns and behaviors leading to criminal activities.

Community-Oriented Policing

Officers engage directly with communities, fostering relationships and relying on local citizens for vigilance and reporting suspicious behaviors.

Police Organizational Styles

Traditional bureaucratic model stresses a hierarchical structure with centralized authority for generating policies.
Military-bureaucratic model, lawful policing model, community-oriented policing, and public-private divide policing are the four key models influencing police organization and strategy.

Globalization

Characterized by transnational flows of people, production, investment, ideas, and authority, leading to increased interconnection among states and markets.
Globalization can pose risks to human rights by blurring boundaries and facilitating abuses while pushing for a global human rights framework.
People empowerment is a key concept within globalization, allowing individuals to take initiative in improving business processes without needing higher management approval.
