More About This Book

Overview

In Ireland, the story of nineteenth-century policing has been dominated mainly by studies of the Royal Irish Constabulary and, to a lesser extent, of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. This book tells the story of the 'forgotten force' of Irish police history, the Belfast Borough Police or 'Bulkies'. Griffin discusses the establishment of this force and describes what it was like to serve in its ranks, by focusing on such topics as the police disciplinary system, pay and pensions, and the force's relations with the Belfast public. His examination of how the Bulkies performed their duties includes a look at the way in which the force adapted to Belfast's rapidly changing circumstances. In the process, he throws new light on such topics as crime, public disorder and the social history of nineteenth-century Belfast. He concludes with a discussion of the factors which led to the force's abolition and replacement by the Royal Irish Constabulary.
