Policing in Ireland has been shaped by all of these changes. This book critically evaluates the creation of the new police force, an Garda Síochána, in the 1920s and analyses how this institution was influenced by and responded to these substantial changes. </P><P></P><P>Beginning with an overview of policing in pre-independence Ireland, this book chrRoutledge SOLON Explorations in Crime and Criminal Justice HistoriesPoliceIrelandHistory20th centuryPoliceHistory363.209417Conway Vicky.1586983FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910800089703321Policing twentieth century Ireland3874277UNINA
