# 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** over the shared criminal record: colonists offend on a
|
|
seeded propensity spectrum, the law catches them, and catching one changes the disposition of the rest.
|
|
|
|
> **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 work type, the weighed arrest and resistance, prison riots, the recidivism alert. |
|
|
| **[Deterrence](Deterrence.md)** | The colony's climate of order (0 lawless … 1 iron), moved by crime and punishment, drifting to baseline, fed back into every pawn's disposition through Core's seam. |
|
|
|
|
At load, **`PolicingBootstrap`** fills the neutral deterrence seam Core leaves open — reconnecting the
|
|
feedback loop across the mod boundary without Core ever depending on the policing layer.

## The one shared record
|
|
|
|
Policing keeps no per-pawn crime state of its own. It reads and writes the single `CriminalRecord` that
|
|
**Institution: Core** holds for every pawn — the same record Contraband, Corrections, and the gang
|
|
systems read. `RecordCrime` writes the `crimesCommitted` / `lastCrimeTick` columns; Corrections grades
|
|
and reforms over the same numbers.

## Requirements & load order
|
|
|
|
- **RimWorld 1.6**
|
|
- **Institution: Core** — required (the propensity/record engine)
|
|
- **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 reserved as a Core seam; today an arrest imprisons directly.
