While little academic attention has been paid to this aspect of republican history, crime and policing arose as issues in every era of the IRA's existence. This book describes republican attempts to deal with crime during the War of Independence, the problems caused by the Civil War split and how the organization grappled with accusations of criminality throughout much of the twentieth century.
