How far do these representations differ?
How far do the two representations differ?
Representation one and representation two differ but also agree with each other too. Representation one is a historical, factual, formal commentary produced by Clive Emsley, whereas representation two is a satirical critique published in Punch Magazine. Furthermore, representation one’s purpose is to inform the readers briefly of the job’s strengths and weaknesses in terms of how effective the police were in the late 20th century. On the other hand, representation two’s purpose is to poke fun yet highlight the weaknesses with a hint of the advantages of effectiveness of police. Finally, representation one is most likely to be read by people of a higher status however representation two is likely to be read by the middle class.
Representation ones first paragraph agrees with representation two by the line ‘instructions given by their superiors’. This links to representation two through the line ‘you’ve got to thank Sir Richard Mayne’. These both link because they both state that police officers in the force are given orders from above and this makes it transparent to see that there is some sort of ranking system in the police forces. However, both representations differ slightly because representation one states ‘over time other police tasks evolved’ whereas representation two talks about minor police tasks therefore deteriorating the importance of police.
The second paragraph in representation one is about street offenses and the police’s problem of detection. This is similar to representation two because the whole poem is about minor crimes and crimes on the streets. This is shown in representation two where ‘the streets are quite unsafe’. This relates to representation one because it talks about crimes committed on streets and how the streets have now become unsafe due to this. Representation one states that this type of crime is increasing thus making it harder to prevent.

    In Stanza 2, the man washes himself up at a tap where he steps into mud, as there is always mud at taps. ‘Vandals Lavatory’, Grey uses the word ‘Vandal’ as he does not appreciate people vandalizing the streets to ruin the beauty of the Australian Coast Lines. The persona flushes the toilet and gets a chill whilst flushing, it’s the use of an actual toilet that gives him this chill as hitchhikers if not able to find a nearby toilet will often go in a bush. In Stanza 3, the man eats a floury apple, which he supposedly found in a supermarket bin where you find ruined goods. Grey uses personification ‘At this kerb sand crawls by’ to demonstrate that it was almost like the path was covered in sand moving slowly from the light wind about. ‘Car after car now-its like a boxer warming up with the heavy bag, spitting air’ the cars on the street are busy going somewhere. The use of simile is comparing the cars to a boxing match, how dangerous and violent of each car passing is like a punch by a boxer.…

    The history of the police agencies can be trace back to the 1630s, during this time the earliest colonists use the English style of policing. The civic duty for all citizens was “watch and ward” this offered no training or pay, it was the responsibility of the citizens to monitor the behavior of community members. Policing relied heavily on community consensus and the willingness of citizens to assist in capturing criminals (Wilbur, 2000). Sheriff’s Posses and constables were consisting of able-bodied men, because their service was liable. The collection of taxes and the supervision of election was the responsibility of the county sheriff. The night watchmen were in charge of looking out for suspicious activities and at times conducting weather reports (Wilbur, 2000).…

    I can see that in the second picture (representation1) a constable is breaking up a fight, with the caption “constable summons assistance”. to me, I think this shows that all of the public were threatened by the police and must stick to what they are showing or saying. The source also lists an array of ‘exciting’ tasks that they may have to handle on a day to day basis. Some of these are, “A case of sheep-stealing, a fight or two inside a public house, keeping a watch on a crowd at a prizefight…” This is suggesting that the police never get hurt by any of the incidents that they deal with, they only get ill from too much work, “…with no rest days, which meant that many men became too ill to work.” In representation two however states that the work was “often boring. It was also sometimes dangerous” but instead of seeing the danger in a positive light, it is in a negative light. They were seen as unpopular with the public, because of the things they were being told to do by the sergeants, such as enforcing new levels of public decorum. Also, there is a quote suggesting that the police got hurt if they intervened with an incident, such as a fight. “If there was a fight it was sensible to let them get on with it. In such areas the number of assaults on the police was…

    People either idealize or resent the upper echelon of society. The song despises the upper class but still thinks the grass is greener on the other side and the other shows him in a more positive light. The song focuses on the miscreant behavior, and the poem talks about idealizing his image. The biggest difference is the view of the upper class the poem holds him in reverence and the song curses him, but both the song and the poem wish for what he had.…

    Text 2 is called ‘Eating Out’ it is poem by U A Fanthorpe about a transition of relationships overtime whereas Text 29 is a novel extract from The Warden by Anthony Trollope written around the time of Oliver Twist about a dining experience at Plumstead Episcopi. ‘Eating Out’ is a poem that is written in seven couplets with fifteen lines and with the purpose to inform and entertain. Whereas Text 29 is a novel extract written in complete prose with just one paragraph, including the use of enjambment and outmoded sentence structure, which mainly consist of extremely long sentences. This is said to be outmoded because sentence structuring mainly consists of a variety of structures nowadays. Text 29 also includes the use of synthetic listing whereby the ‘and’ is missed out making the text conclusive and attracting an audience because it makes the extract seem strong and convincing therefore implying the reader to believe there may be a slight pleasure in the art of dining. This also makes the extract conventional and shows the readers that it adheres to the conventions of a book extract which attracts the readers into reading on.…

    The responsibility of Law Enforcement Officers is to protect citizen’s constitutional rights, enforce laws, and provide service. Sir Robert Peel also known as the father of modern policing created a police force because society was becoming more complex. This was a result of the industrial revolution but also to avoid having the military to deal with the civil disorder. According to scholar David Sklansky “several decades ago, when social scientists were discovering the police, and the Supreme Court was beginning to construct the modern law of criminal procedure, American law enforcement was structured roughly the same way it is today” (p. 1209). Policing relied largely on the locals. Police departments are considered quasi-military with organized hierarchy.…

    There are three different ways a representative is able to carry out their representation. The three styles of representation is delegate, trustee, and politico. Delegate is the theory of representation stressing the lawmaker’s role as a tribute of the people who reflects their view on issues of the day (Losco 264). In other words, an elected representative will vote the way their constituents would want them to, regardless on their own opinion. This would help the representative get reelected since they are allowing the constituents influence his decisions by voting how the citizens wanted. An example of delegate would in the case of Roe v Wade which is a supreme court case that allowed women to have to the right to get an abortion, if they wish to do so. The court ruled seven out of two that…
