2.Urban-commercial societies, which rely on trade as the essence of their market system. An urban-commercial
society has civil law (some standards and customs are written
down), specialized police forces (some for religious offenses, others for enforcing the King’s
Law), and punishment is inconsistent, sometimes harsh, sometimes lenient. Most of Continental Europe developed
along this path.
3.Urban-industrial societies, which produce which produce most of the goods and services they need without
government interference.
An urban-industrial society not only has codified laws (statutes that prohibit) but laws that prescribes good behavior,
police become specialized in how to handle property crimes, and the system of punishment is run on market
principles of creating incentives and disincentives. England and the U.S. followed this positive legal path.
4.Bureaucratic societies are modern post-industrial societies where the emphasis is upon
technique or the “technologizing”
of everything, with the government. A bureaucratic society has a system of laws (along with armies of lawyers),
police who tend to keep busy handling political crime and terrorism, and a system of punishment characterized by
over criminalization and overcrowding. The U.S. and perhaps only eight other nations fit the bureaucratic pattern.
Juvenile delinquency is a phenomenon that only occurs in a bureaucratic society.10.
Comparativists in criminal justice study four different kinds of societies: Folk-communal,
Urban-commercial, Urban-industrial, and bureaucratic.[3]
1. Folk-communal societies are often seen as primitive and barbaric, they have little
specialization among law enforcers, and let many problems go unpunished to avoid
over-criminalization however, once tempers “boil over” and the situation becomes a
larger issue, harsh and unusual punishment may be administered. Examples are
African or Middle Eastern Tribes,
2. Urban-commercial societies have few written laws and some specialized
enforcement for religious or king’s law enforcement. Punishments are inconsistent
and usually harsh.
3. Urban-industrial societies enforce laws that prescribe good behavior and give
incentives and disincentives for behavior and police are specialized in property
crimes such as theft. Finally,
4. bureaucratic societies are today’s modern society. They feature fully developed
laws, lawyers, and police forces trained for multiple types of crime. Different “side
effects” of these societies include over-criminalization, overcrowding, and even
juvenile delinquency due to the extended age of adolescence these societies bring on
What are the 4 types of criminal justice law in the world?
1.Common Law System -These are also known as Anglo-American justice, and exist in most English-speaking
countries of the world, such as the U.S., England, Australia, and New Zealand. They are distinguished by a strong
adversarial system where lawyers interpret and judges are bound by precedent. Common law systems are distinctive
in the significance they attach top recedent (the importance of previously decided cases). They primarily rely upon
oral systems of previously in which the public trial is a main focal point.
2.Civil Law System-Also known as Continental justice or Romano-Germanic justice, and practice throughout most
of the European Union as well as elsewhere, in places such as Sweden, Germany, France, and Japan. They are
distinguished by a strong inquisitorial system where fewer rights are granted to the accused, and the written law is
taken as gospel and subject to little
interpretation. For example, a French maxim goes like this: “If judge knows the answer, he
must not be prohibited from achieving it by undue attention to regulations of procedure and evidence. By contrast,
the common law method is for a judge to at least suspend belief until the sporting event of a trial is over. Legal
scholarship is much more sophisticated and elitist in civil law systems, as opposed to the more democratic common
law countries where just about anybody can get into law school. Romano-Germanic systems are founded on the
basis of natural law, which is a respect for traditional and custom. The sovereigns, or leaders, of a civil law system
are considered above the law, as opposed to the common law notion that nobody is above the law.
3.Socialist Systems -These are also known as Marxist-Leninist justice, and exist in many places, such as Africa and
Asia, where there has been a Communist revolution or the remnants of one. They are distinguished by procedures
designed to rehabilitate or retrain people into fulfilling their responsibilities to the state. It is the ultimate expression
of positive law, designed to move the state forward toward the perfectibility of state and mankind. It is also
primarily
characterized by administrative law, where non-legal officials make most of the decisions. For example, in a
socialist state, neither judges nor lawyers are allowed to make law. Law is the same as policy, and an orthodox
Marxist view is that eventually, the law will not be necessary.
4.Islamic System -Are also known as Muslim or Arabic justice, and derive all their procedures and practices from
interpretation of the Koran. These are exceptions, however. Various tribes (such as the Siwa in the desert of North
Africa) are descendent of the ancient than the harsher Shariah punishments. Islamic systems in general are
characterized by the absence of positive law (the use of law to move societies forward toward some progressive
future) and are based more on the concept of natural justice (crimes are considered acts of injustice that conflict with
tradition). Religion plays an important role that Islamic systems, so much a role that most nations of this type are
theocracies, where legal rule and religious rule go together.
C. Historical-comprehensive method the most often employed by researchers. It is basically an alternative to both
quantitative and qualitative research methods that is sometimes called historiography or holism.
a. A sense of hope and confidence among the people Legitimate surveys, for example, show that 86% of
more of the population believe that the local authorities are well-skilled and doing everything they can.
b. People felt like they had a high degree of population participation in crime control.
d. Egypt-The Siwa Oasis in Egypt is another place with little or no crime. The population of 23,000consists
of 11 tribes who are the descendants of ancient Greeks, and it is said that Plato himself fashioned his model
or perfect government in the Republic there. The inhabitants practice a moderate form of Islamic justice,
rejecting Shariah punishment and embracing Urrf law (the law of tradition). Conflicts are resolved by a
tribal council, and there are no jails or prisons. The last known crime occurred around 1950, and was an act
of involuntary manslaughter. The typical punishment of wrong doing is social ostracization (shunning).
This type of society is an excellent example of the folk-communal, or informal justice system.
14. What are the types of police in the world? The following are some of the types of police
1.Uniformed police
2.Detectives
3.Auxiliary
4.Special police
5.Military police

15. Differentiate centralized from decentralized system of law enforcement? Decentralized Law Enforcement
Decentralized police refers to a system where police administrations and operations are independent from one state
to another. It is more applicable to countries with federal government.
In many countries, particularly those with a federal system of government, there may be several police or police-like
organizations, each serving different levels of government and enforcing different subsets of the applicable law. The
United States has a highly decentralized and fragmented system of law enforcement, with over 17,000 state and
local law enforcement agencies. Germany and UK have also decentralized law enforcement agencies.
Countries with Centralized policing system Simply means on police force operating in a country. Some countries,
such as Chile, Israel, Philippines, France, Austria, use a centralized system of policing. A country with only one
recognized police force which operates entire that country is called is called centralized police. Thus, Philippines is
an example of centralized police because the Philippine National Police has one central office with many regional,
provincial and local branches throughout the country.
A. Gather data related to his jurisdiction (for city police officer) like list of people who are
-working late at night who might be of help as witnesses to crime
-not engage in formal employment (stand by)
-owns gun or swords-with mental illness
-old living in the area alone who should be visited periodically
-leaders of legitimate organizations
-leaders of illegitimate organization
-total population-list of households, rented homes and apartments
B. Conduct the following (for provincial or municipal police officer) like
Visit each house twice a year to be acquainted and to determine their needs related to law enforcement
Seminars among barangay leaders related to peace and order as to the general entry qualification, height must not
be a requirement (from UK Law Enforcement) when the applicant has an above average intelligent quotient. As to
participation of civilian, accreditation of individuals who are not members of the PNP but with specialization in the
fields related to law enforcement is encourage. For example, priest, pastors and ministries may be involved in values
trainings of the PNP Biologist, Ballisticians and other related profession may be accredited to help in law
enforcement exercises.
Another on organization and supervision, the PNP may be separated and be fully controlled and supervised by the
National Police Commission without interference of local executives.
For example, a City Chief of Police could have same position as a City Mayor. The former is in charge with peace
and order and law enforcement concerns while the last later is more an administration of the city’s concern not
covering the concern of the chief of police. Coordination and cooperation are imperative in this recommendation.
This idea will empower the PNP to initiate a more constructive and practical ways to improve peace and order. This
recommendation may also reduce the incidence of taking orders from the whims and caprices of corrupt politicians,
examples is the Maguindanao Massacre.
1.Adversarial System-In adversarial the accused is innocent until proven guilty, and inquisitorial, where the
accused is guilty until proven innocent or mitigated. The U.S. adversarial system is unique in the world. No other
nation, not even the U.K. places as much emphasis upon determination of factual guilt in the courtroom as the U.S.
does. Outside the U.S. most trials are concerned with legal guilt where everyone knows the offender did it, and the
purpose is to get the offender to apologize, own up to their responsibility, argue for mercy, or suggest an appropriate
sentence for themselves.
2.Inquisitorial Systems-Where lesser rights are granted to the accused, and the written law is taken as gospel and
subject to little interpretation.

as a means of coercion. At present, the International community has been unable to formulate a university agreed,
legally binding, criminal law definition of terrorism. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent
acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for a religious, political, or ideological goal, and
deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians).
Some definitions also include acts of unlawful violence and war. This history of terrorism organizations suggest that
they do not select terrorism for its political effectiveness. Individual terrorists tend to be motivated more by a desire
for social solidarity with other members of their organization than by political platforms or strategic objectives,
which are often murky and undefined.
