Abstract
Throughout history, ‘policing’ has essentially been about maintaining and enforcing ‘order’ (the way things ‘should be’) or, as it was referred to in earlier days, ‘peace’ (hence police came to be referred to as ‘peace officers’). Beginning in the 19th Century, however, the provision of ‘policing’ in what are now Commonwealth countries has undergone some sea changes.
