Home Rule Theory

Continental and Home Rule Theory
Basically, Police are the ones that serve as the protector of the community,
leading the citizen with good rule and peace. That’s how we all view them as our public
servants. However there are still lots of important things that is incorporated to it. There
is what we call the Policing system wherein it contain two important theories namely
Continental and Home Rule Theory. To begin, Continental theory states that Police
Officers are servants of higher authorities. Whereas the Home Rule theory talks about
police officers as servants of the community or the people. Continental theory is evident
to continental countries like Italy, Spain and France.In home rule theory, it prevails in
England and United States. It is indeed true that societies have different governing rules
and regulations. The way it was changed over time is because of the different culture
and ethnicity.Home rule have the power of the local city that could set up its own system
of self-government without the need to receive charter from state. They have the ability
to contain governmental organization. More like a constitution within the local.
However if there;s any changes in the charter it may be the cause for instability within
the local government. This could also be the result to a more complicated connection
with regions if there’s any rise of problem and there’s a need to come up with solution.
This involves the authority in municipalities. For instance, in the municipality, they
have this home rule in terms of the sale of alcoholic beverages when it is the time to
vote. In this example, the power is coming from the local. But it doesn’t mean that the
power is from the local, they won’t need funds from the state, because if there’s a need
for local improvements with the different fields in local, they still have to procure money
and cooperate from the state. On the other hand, the Continental Theory is the opposite
of Home rule, continental theory concerns the state, by which means it is connected
with a more wide and various countries. It contain the power in the higher society.
There’s higher demands, issues within continents that’s why it has higher range of
power. Also a larger funds would be demanded from these types of country. It corporate
the larger issues like various crimes . It also raises issues like theft and immigrants that
contains illegal processes. It is far more different than home rule theory because it is
grounded with more frequent connections than the home rule. Nevertheless both
theories are very valuable and essential to maintaining peace in the countries. It is way
better to secure wide measurable constraints within bounds. As well as in the home rule
theory there’s a need for proper dissemination of information for new policies and rules.
So that there’s no conflict that will arise from it. Consequently, a municipality will be a
home for vigilant and peaceful people. On the other hand, countries belong to
continental theory will have harmonious connection.
