This book illuminates the neglected history of the Dublin
Metropolitan Police - a history that has been long overshadowed by
existing historiography, which has traditionally been preoccupied
with the more radical aspects of Irish history. It explores the
origins of the institution and highlights the Dublin Metropolitan
Police's profound influence on the colonial forces, as its legacy
reached some of the furthest outposts of the British Empire. In
doing so Anastasia Dukova provides much needed nuance and
complexity to our understanding of Ireland as a whole, and Dublin
in particular, demonstrating that it was far more than a lawless
place ravaged by political and sectarian violence. Simultaneously,
the book tells the story of the bobby on the beat, the policeman
who made the organisation; his work and day, the conditions of
service and how they affected or bettered his lot at home and
abroad.
