Irish Constabularies, 1822-1922: The First History of a Century of Policing in Ireland - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This first account of the Irish constabularies is a major contribution to Irish historical studies.
From the Constabulary Act of 1822 and the organisation of the County Constabulary, the story moves through the difficult and turbulent decades of the Famine, 1848, the Belfast Riots and the Fenian rising, encompassing the birth of the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Land War. In the later years of the nineteenth century the emphasis is on more routine police work, with the period of the growth of Irish nationalism in the early twentieth century being a peaceful time for the RIC. But as Sinn Fein and the Volunteers grew in strength, attitudes to the RIC changed and it came under sustained attack during the force's final difficult years leading to disbandment.
