[Judge Dredd movie-1995 version]When Dredd opens his locker we can see volumes 1 and 2 of the famous books, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. What does Dredd think of the arguments of Edward Gibbon and what does Dredd think were the primary factors causing the fall of the Roman Empire?

> The story of its ruin is simple and obvious; and, instead of inquiring why the Roman empire was destroyed, we should rather be surprised that it had subsisted so long. The victorious legions, who, in distant wars, acquired the vices of strangers and mercenaries, first oppressed the freedom of the republic, and afterwards violated the majesty of the purple. The emperors, anxious for their personal safety and the public peace, were reduced to the base expedient of corrupting the discipline which rendered them alike formidable to their sovereign and to the enemy; the vigour of the military government was relaxed, and finally dissolved, by the partial institutions of Constantine; and the Roman world was overwhelmed by a deluge of Barbarians.

— Edward Gibbon. 

This appears to justify the Judge Dredd worldview, that it is the responsibility of powerful men to maintain discipline in a world of savage, drug-fueled barbarianism.
