Volunteer night watchers

Having citizens volunteer for night watch duty was not a new idea.  It had been used in the US since back in the colonial era.  As urbanization increased with the expansion of industrialization, however, night watch duty was not going to be enough to protect and safeguard big cities.  In 1838, Boston established the first fully organized police force with full-time on-duty officers, paid as public servants.  By the 1880s, all major US cities had established regular police forces.

Which two events caused this culture found in Latin America?
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

History of Latin America, history of the region from the pre-Columbian period and including colonization by the Spanish and Portuguese beginning in the 15th century, the 19th-century wars of independence, and developments to the end of the 20th century.

Explanation:

Latin America is generally understood to consist of the entire continent of South America in addition to Mexico, Central America, and the islands of the Caribbean whose inhabitants speak a Romance language. The peoples of this large area shared the experience of conquest and colonization by the Spaniards and Portuguese from the late 15th through the 18th century as well as movements of independence from Spain and Portugal in the early 19th century. Even since independence, many of the various nations have experienced similar trends, and they have some awareness of a common heritage. However, there are also enormous differences between them. Not only do the people live in a large number of independent units, but the geography and climate of their countries vary immensely. The inhabitants’ social and cultural characteristics differ according to the constitution of the occupants before the Iberian conquest, the timing and nature of European occupation, and their varying material endowments and economic roles.
