      abstract = {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.},
