They also ensure the safety of the students under certain circumstances, these include; fire drills, unauthorised visitors, brawls etc. School Teachers are considered the police of the School as they do hold power to manipulate students behaviour and use disciplinary action when breaking a set of rules given by the school, to ensure that they receive the consequences. ]]> 2017-03-16 22:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160671478 https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160671525 2017-03-16 22:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160671525 https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160671654 Tennis umpire's police the game of tennis. They have the authority to make decisions that can change the game monumentally. They are given the power by big competition events such as The Australian Open. An example of the process the umpire's go through are how reliable they are through various background checks and how quick they make decisions. Furthermore, by providing evidence of the statistical data from the performance of previous events, the tennis umpires are chosen on how highly regarded they are. However, as they do it hold any statute authority they can only control the power given to them in their own jurisdiction. They have power and authority when making decisions on the results of the game, for example, they can determine whether the ball was in the court or not. ]]> 2017-03-16 22:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160671654 https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160671733 security guards at a venue are a form of informal police as they enforce the rules of the establishment. They, while not holding the same powers as a sworn office, can still enforce the rules of the venue they work at. They do not have any more power then a average person but are seen as enforcers due mostly to their size.  ]]> 2017-03-16 22:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160671733 https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160671905 Informal policing is keeping the order, For example; football referees , they have the power to make decisions and making sure players are obeying the rules of the game and they are 4 referees in a football math, each referee have their role of rules or power.Also, informal policing has less action of punishment than a formal policing]]> 2017-03-16 22:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160671905 https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160672253 These groups are not hold any statutory authority or power bummt they perform a role of policing people such as " security guards, traffic control, supervisor and referee in football " they get their power to control and make it more safe and also make a decision on how they should be able to play the role of policing people.]]> 2017-03-16 22:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160672253 https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160672711 Parents have the power to enforce rules on their children but also have the responsibility to protect.]]> 2017-03-16 22:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160672711 https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160672944 Security quards have the power to do" informal policing" activities such as secure a certain building or keep the venue will orginised and even can arrest if nesessary. They also get their power from legislations such as LEPRA (law Enforcement power and responsibility act) that gives them the authority to arrest the person if they were trespassing or committing an offence.

Through their role they do act upon their title as being someone higher than students. For example ; teachers have the power to fail a student in any exam/assignments. Teachers also have responsibilities to care and nurture each student as it is their priorities as their role of occupation. Principals are also an example of 'informal policing' as they are apart of applying rules to their school district towards teachers and students. They are to ensure that their schools are in good condition and that students and teachers are well looked after. They are also able to make consequences/punishments for any wrong doings etc. ]]> 2017-03-17 02:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160691121 https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160691368 Soccer officials are able to control the game and set rules upon the players involved. Without referees, the game would be corrupt and most likely filled with illegal actions. Without approval from the refs, a specific action may not take place, therefore if the referee themselves are corrupt then this is also an issue. Referees get their informal power from the federation and association of the specific sport they are a referee for. They receive a referee license once they complete a specific course. Although they have much authority on the pitch, that is the only area they have it. Outside the stadium they are normal people whereas formal police have authority every where. Referees do not have the authority that police officers have where they may use physical force and things like that, they only have the authority to make definitive decisions throughout a match.]]> 2017-03-17 02:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160691368 https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160691397 Teachers police students in order for us stay safe and get an education.

Security guards provide protection and help when needed although they are not under the law. 

Referees, coaches, your boss/ manager anyone who is ranked higher then you is allowed to police you.

Anyone who has authority that is not under a military or para military force but still retains control and power can be considered to be a force of policing , That being said you don't have to be under a form of law to police it is simply the act of controlling people or a situation to what may be consider acceptable to the person or to a society, I say this cause policing doesn't mean it will be in favor of everything good whether it is formal or informal for example in countries like North Korea the policing there may be counted as formal but it is not rite in fairness towards the people.]]> 2017-03-17 02:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160691397 https://padlet.com/g_sims/informal/wish/160691428 A referee does not hold any statutory authority or power whatsoever, but do have set rules and regulations that sports players must follow. They enforce the sports rules and if any of the rules are breached, then a referee has the 'power' to stop and tell the player what has been done wrong and that it should not be done again. An example would be in the world of boxing. A boxing referee would be the person that enforces the rules and its main role and responsibility are the welfare of both the fighters. Instructions are given to both of the fighters and has the right to stop the fight if the other can no longer continue. To add, a ref are the ones that 'police' the fighters and their authority comes from the designated federation.
