The mutual pledge system was developed by King Alfred the Great in the late 9th century as a form of community self-protection in England. Under the mutual pledge system, members of a community would form groups, or tithings, of ten men who would be responsible for ensuring each other's good behavior and for bringing any wrongdoers to justice. If a member of a tithing committed a crime, the other members would be responsible for bringing him to justice or paying a fine themselves. This system helped to create a sense of responsibility and solidarity within the community, and was an early precursor to modern policing methods.
