hmm, how do i put this using your cop analogy... Regulation is like house arrest, you have a narrow amount of things to do and basically little freedom Oversight is like being on parole. You are being watch closely and have a set amount of things you can't do, and if you disobey you get in trouble. I guess a simple test is, Regulation tells what to do and how to do it, oversight makes sure you are not doing something you are not supposed to. |
But those doing the oversight need to be backed by regulations, laws or whatever you want to call them (let's not turn this into semantics). They need the power to stop those being watched from doing certain things.
Regulations and laws can be both positive and negative, i.e. they can tell you what to do, as well as what not to do. I don't see reason for a distinction there. To me, oversight is just the enforcement of regulations.
