This is a very post Renaissance take.
Is it?
i think the cover it in here but it's been a while... Behind the police
I'm not going to listen to a podcast that just might have an explanation for what you mean on the off chance you remembered the right one.
Yeah sure. Good podcast/series tho. It pulls a lot from The End of Policing by Alex Vitale. Robert Evans is also an incredible journalist/narrator.
Law enforcement in some form has existed far prior to the Renaissance.
Yeah sure, palace guards, militaries, mercenaries, and so on.
The "police man" is a concept from the last few hundred years.
E: don't lemmy half asleep folks...
