A History of the Dublin Metropolitan Police and its Colonial Legacy: The Colonial Beat
Dukova, Anastasia

[The significant proportion of Irish migrants, many with previous service in law enforcement, brought their experience and skill with them, greatly facilitating the process of ‘organisational knowledge transfer’ between the forces at home and abroad. This led to parallel approaches to policing, while a similar population structure resulted in similar attitudes emerging towards the police. Dukova’s comprehensive overview of the composition, structure and administration of the colonial Queensland and Toronto forces shows the significant influence of Irish policing experience and the presence of the Irish-born within the rank-and-file and the commanding staff. This chapter briefly introduces the history, organisation and socio-economic settings of the Brisbane and Toronto forces. It offers a glimpse into the urban colonial street life and what constituted a colonial policeman’s lot, and whether it was, in any way, a ‘happier’ one.]
