From the Paper:

"Though the developmental history of modern policing and criminal justice there have been many changes, changes in focus and standard, and even crime and justice. The very term professionalism has completely evolved across the board, more so in the policing industry than almost anywhere else. A historical perspective on the field of criminal justice and policing in America will assist any scholar interested in the state of police work today. The American policing system is largely associated historically with our British forefathers. So, much of the policies and standards are historically based within the old standards of the English law enforcement fields."
