Żandarmeria Wojskowa
The Military Gendarmerie (, ŻW) is a military police force established in 1990 in Poland as a specialized service of the Polish Armed Forces. The exact role of the gendarmerie has been historically difficult to ascertain, with several changes and developments since the fall of communism.

Robertson (1989:123) maintains a crime is nothing more than "an act that contravenes a law".
