Abstract

The Police, in its origins, was conceived to remove and delegitimize private revenge in society. With human evolution and the conception of the Democratic Rule of Law, the Constitutions institutionalized this important social function, legalizing and legitimizing not only the use of force, but also the important functions of maintaining security and public order.
