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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137555816\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-55582-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 235\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44521995337868,"sku":"9781137555816","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137555816.jpg?v=1775953926","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137555816","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
