# Institution: Policing
|
|
|
|
*The enforcement and order layer — the pre-arrest half of the law — of the **Institution** suite of
|
|
RimWorld 1.6 mods.*
|
|
|
|
Vanilla RimWorld keeps a rap sheet no one reads, and your own colonists never break the law. Policing
|
|
gives the colony a **climate of law and order**: colonists offend on a spectrum of criminal
|
|
propensity, the law catches them, and catching one changes how the rest behave.
|
|
|
|
> **Catching and punishing one pawn changes the disposition of the rest.**
|
|
|
|
That is the difference between enforcement that *cleans up* and enforcement that **governs** — the
|
|
reason to punish an offender is the message it sends everyone else quietly deciding whether crime pays.

## The pages
|
|
|
|
| Page | What it covers |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| **[Policing](Policing.md)** | Colony crime on the propensity spectrum, witnesses and the constable's investigation, the weighed arrest and resisting it, prison riots, and the recidivism alert. |
|
|
| **[Deterrence](Deterrence.md)** | The colony's climate of order (0 lawless … 1 iron), moved by crime and punishment, drifting back to baseline, and fed back into every colonist's disposition. |
|
|
|
|
The climate of order only steers your colonists while Policing is installed. Core on its own keeps the
|
|
records but leaves behaviour untouched; add Policing and the feedback loop comes alive — visible
|
|
justice starts calming the colony, unanswered crime starts emboldening it.

## The one shared record
|
|
|
|
Policing keeps no crime record of its own. It reads and writes the single criminal record that
|
|
**Institution: Core** holds for every colonist — the same rap sheet Contraband, Corrections, and the
|
|
gang systems read. A crime here adds to that record; Corrections grades and reforms over the same
|
|
history.

## Requirements & load order
|
|
|
|
- **RimWorld 1.6**
|
|
- **Institution: Core** — required (the propensity and record system)
|
|
- **Harmony** — required
|
|
- Load **after** Core and Harmony.
|
|
|
|
The prison half — classification, discipline, reform, parole, regime — lives in **Institution:
|
|
Corrections**, which depends on this layer for the shared climate of order. A future **Judiciary** layer
|
|
— a court that tries and sentences — is planned; for now an arrest sends the culprit straight to a cell.
