THE BRITISH POLICE
In Britain different areas have different police forces. For instance, the Metropolitan police operate in London, but there are different police forces in the counties outside London.
The top man in each police force is Chief Constable. He is appointed by the local Watch Committee which is a police authority of the local government. The Watch Committee can dismiss him, too, if the central government agrees. The Chief Constable appoints all the ranks below him in his force.
British police are normally not armed. In special cases, when their work becomes dangerous, they can be given firearms however.
All members of the police must have gained a certain level of academic qualifications at school and undergone a period of intensive training. Women take up about 10 per cent of the police force.
The duties of the police are varied, ranging from assisting at accidents to safeguarding public order and dealing with lost property. One of their main functions is, of course, apprehending criminals and would-be criminals.

PUNISHMENT
What is the purpose of punishment? One purpose is obviously to rehabilitate the offender, to correct the offender’s moral attitudes and antisocial behaviour and to reform him or her, which means to assist the offender to return to normal life as a useful member of the community.
Punishment can also be seen as a deterrent, because it warns other people of what will happen if they are tempted to break the law and prevents them from doing so. However, the third purpose of punishment lies, perhaps, in society’s desire for retribution, which basically means revenge. In other words, don’t we feel that a wrongdoer should suffer for his misdeeds?
The form of punishment should also be considered. On the one hand, some believe that we should ‘make the punishment fit the crime’. Those who steal from others should be deprived of their own property to ensure that criminals are left in no doubt that crime doesn’t pay. For those who attack others corporal punishment should be used. Murderers should be subject to the principle ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’ and automatically receive the death penalty.
