Crimes have always existed. In comparison, the police with safety vest are a modern creation. Once, in the middle Ages, it was a matter of citizenship to muck up tragedy.

As it is to this day, everyone was allowed to hold a criminal and give it to the power of the state. Lawyers speak of the right of every person.
