<span>Babylonia did indeed have a very powerful state with a large byrocratic apparatus. Babylonia did not have a police force, which is now taken for granted as a state service dealing with crimes. False accusations were taken very seriously, since the punishment for them was death. This was regulated by the Law Code of Hammurabi. </span>

Babylonia was really one of the most dominant and prevailing state and nation during those ancient times and had a humungous byrocratic apparatus at hand. However, Babylonia didn’t have any law enforcement agencies like the sheriff department or any other state controlling crime forces that are currently being disregarded in the society. The presence of the Law Code of Hammurabi which encompassed that fallacious incrimination was lead to death as its punishment for those who committed such act during the Babylonian time.
