The British police
officer is a well-known figure to anyone who has visited Britain or who
has seen British films. Policemen are to be seen in towns and cities
keeping law and order, either walking in pairs down the streets
("walking the beat") or driving specially marked police cars. Once known
as 'panda cars' because of their distinctive markings, these are now
often jokingly referred to as 'jam sandwiches' because of the pink -
fluorescent stripe running horizontally around the bodywork. In the
past, policemen were often known as 'bobbies' after Sir Robert Peel, the
founder of the police force. Nowadays, common nicknames include 'the
cops', the fuzz', 'the pigs', and 'the Old Bill' (particularly in
London). Few people realise, however, that the police in Britain are
organised very differently from many other countries.
Most countries, for example, have a national police force which is
control1ed by central Government. Britain has no national police force,
although police policy is, governed by the central Government's Home
Office. Instead, there is a separate police force for each of 52 areas
into which the country is divided. Each has a police authority - a
committee of local county councillors and magistrates.
The forces co-operate with each other, but it is unusual for members .
of one force to operate in another's area unless they are asked to give
assistance. This sometimes happens when there has been a very serious
crime. A Chief Constable (the most senior police officer of a force) may
sometimes ask for the assistance of London's police force, based at New
Scotland Yard - known simply as "the Yard".

In most countries the police carry guns. In Britain, however, this is
extremely unusual. Policemen do not, as a rule, carry firearms in their
day¬-to-day work, though certain specialist units are trained to do so
and can be called upon to help the regular police force in situations
where firearms are involved, e.g. terrorist incidents, armed robberies,
etc. The only policemen who routinely carry weapons are those assigned
to guard politicians and diplomats, or special officers who patrol
airports.
In certain circumstances specially trained police officers can be armed,
but only with the signed permission of a magistrate.
All members of the police must have gained a certain level of academic
qualifications at school and undergone a period of intensive training.
Like in the army, there are a number of ranks: after the Chief Constable
comes the Assistant Chief Constable, Chief Superintendent, Chief
Inspector, Inspector, Sergeant and Constable. Women make up about 10 per
cent of the police force. The police are helped by a number of Special
Constables¬-members of the public who work for the police voluntarily
for a few hours a week.
Each police force has its own Criminal Investigation Department: (CID).
Members of CIDs are detectives, and they do not wear uniforms The other
uniformed people you see in British towns are traffic warden~ Their job
is to make sure that drivers obey the parking regulations. The~ have no
other powers - it is the police who are responsible for controlling
offences like speeding, careless driving and drunken driving
The duties of the police are varied, ranging from assisting at accidents
to safeguarding public order and dealing with lost property. One of
their main functions is, of course, apprehending criminals and would-be
¬criminals

simultaneously to a filler metal in the form of wire or welding rod, which is melted to the joint. Are welding is the most important welding process for joining steels. It requires a continuous supply of either direct or alternating electrical current. The most widely used are tance welding, heat is obtained from the resistance of metal to the flow of an electric current. Electrodes are clamped on each side of the parts to be welded, the parts are subjected to great pressure, and a heavy current is applied for a short period. Thr point where two metals touch creates resistance to the flow widely employed in many fields of sheet metal or wire manufacturing and is often used for welds made by automatic or semi-automatic machines especially in automobile industry.

in consequence, he is at war with the world. A difficult child is,, nearly always made difficult by wrong treatment at home. The moulded, conditioned, disciplined, repressed child — the unfree child, whose name is a Legion, lives in every comer of the world, He lives in our town just across the street, he sits at a dull desk in a dull school, and later he sits at a duller desk in an office or on a factory bench. He is docile, prone to obey authority, fearful of criticism, and almost fanatical in his desire to be conventional and correct. He accepts what he has been taught almost without ques¬tion;, and he hands down all his complexes and fears and frustra¬tions to his children. Adults take it for granted that a child should be taught to behave in such a way that the adults will have as quiet a life as possible. Неnce the importance attached to obedience, to manner, to docility. The usual argument against freedom for children is this: life is hard, and we must train the children so that they will fit into life liter on We must therefore discipline them. If we allow them to do what they like, how will they ever be able to serve under a boss? How will they ever be able to exercise self-discipline? To impose anything by authority is wrong. Obedience must come from within —not be imposed from without. The problem child is the child who is pressured into obedience and persuaded through fear. Fear сад be a terrible thing in a child’s life. Fear must be entirely eliminated — fear of adults, fear of punishment, fear of disapproval. Only hate can flourish in the atmosphere of fear. The happiest homes are those in which the parents are frankly honest with their children without moralizing. Fear does not enter these homes. Father and son are pals. Love can thrive. In other homes love is crushed by fear. Pretentious dignity and demanded respect hold love aloof. Compelled respect always implies fear. The happiness and well-being of children depend on a degree of love £md approval we give them. We must be on the child’s side. Being oil the side of the child is giving love to the child — not possessive love — not sentimental love - just behaving to the child in such a way the child feels you love him and approve of him. Home plays many parts in the life of the growing child, it is the natural source of affection; the place where he can live with the sense Of security; it educates him in all sorts qf ways, provides him with his opportunities of recreation, it affects his status in society. Children need affection. Of all the functions of the family that of providing an affectionate background for childhood and adolescence has never been more important than it is today. Child study has enabled us to see how necessary affection is in ensuring proper emotional development; and the stresses and strains of growing up in modern urban society have the effect of intensifying the yearning for parental regard. The childhood spent with heartless, indifferent or quarrelsome parents or in a broken home makes a child permanently embittered. Nothing can compensate for lack of parental affection. .When the home is a loveless one, the children are impersonal and even hostile. Approaching adolescence children become more independent of their parents. They are now more concerned with what other kids say or do. They go on loving their parents deeply underneath, but they don’t show it on the surface. They no longer want to be loved as a possession or as an appealing child. They are gaining a sense of dignity as individuals, and they like to be treated as such. They develop a stronger sense of responsibility about matters that they think are important. From their need to be less dependent on their parents, they turn more to trusted adults outside the family for ideas and knowledge. In adolescence aggressive feelings become much stronger. In this period, children will play an earnest game of war. There may be arguments, roughhousing and even real fights. Is gun-play good or bad for children? For many years educators emphasized its harmlessness, even when thoughtful parents expressed doubt about letting their children have pistols and other warlike toys. It was assumed that in the course of growing up children have a natural tendency to bring their aggressiveness more and more under control.
