Report writing itself evolved from the necessity to report information on actions taken to prevent any negative effect, and not from the access time and mean plans of your teacher. Did you know that the first police offices (and police establishments contributed a lot to the history of writing reports) appeared in 27 BC, and were the attempt of Caesar’s nephew, Gaius Octavius, to revenge his uncle’s death.
 
The police was called the Roman vigilies. They were to protect the emperor, provide daytime fire brigade assistance, and to protect the citizens from thieves, vagabonds and other potentially dangerous people. The vigilies also had to report on actions taken to the emperor.
 
The first professional police force in the world was the British Bobbies in 1829. They practiced such things as discipline, appearance, recruitment, and report writing.
 
1902 was the year when the International Association of Chiefs of Police started working in America. In 1918 August Vollmer, chief of the Berkeley P.D., USA, became the patriarch of police professionalism. This man was responsible for introducing America to crime labs, fingerprint repositories, and uniform crime reporting - official data on crime that is reported to law enforcement agencies across the United States.

Today dissertation writing opens doors to endless possibilities, high social status, and a well-paid job. Rejoice, oh student, for medieval masters and doctors didn’t have as many possibilities, as nowadays candidates do.
 
Did you know that the degrees of bachelor and master did not originate until the thirteenth century? Before that, the intellectual life was associated only with monasteries, which were mostly concerned with the study of the liturgy and prayer; very few monasteries could boast true intellectuals. And even after the universities were introduced, the mastership originally meant no more than a certificate of fitness to teach at a university. Up to twelve years of studying were required before a student was allowed to obtain the masterate or doctorate degree.
 
Students also had limited options in studying: after a six-year course of liberal arts (arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music theory, grammar, logic, and rhetoric), only three faculties – law, medicine, and theology – were opened to pursue the master’s and doctorate degree.
 
When completing a dissertation nowadays, each candidate is assigned a supervisor for assistance. And lucky these candidates are, for in Medieval Ages there were no instructors. Moreover, students were tried for crimes in a church court if anything suspicious about them was discovered. Read more
