== Police and Policing ==
The police is a governmental institution with the obligation to work for order and security, to assist in the search and arrest of criminal suspects, and with the right to use force. Reacting to the occurrence of crimes is by far not the only function of the police.
Policing involves much more than the enforcement of penal laws. There is good reason to believe, and it seems that Cifford Shearing does, that quite a few policing functions could be fulfilled equally well or better by community members themselves instead of, but in cooperation with the police.
Therefore, policing is not necessarily and uniquely a task for the police. There could also be policing carried out by individuals and groups of a given community itself.
