Question 4

In which model nation is both deviance control and civil order control performed by regular street police?

In England, regular street police are responsible for both deviance control (such as responding to crimes and making arrests) and civil order control (such as maintaining public order and managing protests). This system is known as "policing by consent," where the police work closely with the community to maintain order and prevent crime. In contrast, countries like France and Germany have separate police forces for each type of control, with different training and responsibilities. Saudi Arabia has a highly centralized police force that is mainly responsible for maintaining the country's strict social order.
