The essential motivations behind policing are to uphold and bolster laws, control criminal activities, arrest guilty parties, forestall crime, help guarantee internal peace and serenity at domestic level, and give the society required authorization related administrations. These reasons overlap in a various ways. For instance, cops investigate bad people and arrest a criminal, which implements and backings the laws of a general public.

They are consistent as you need to draw a line between legality and illegality and policing makes it a priority that people live by these lines and those who don’t need to be put away.
