An illustrated journey through New Zealand policing history
Vintage Fair Condition - Ex-library with rubbed/creased covers, library markings, yellowed tape repairs and stained endpapers. Published 1983.
Fiona McMorran introduces the development of policing in New Zealand through an accessible illustrated history. Changes in uniforms, equipment, duties and recruitment provide a way to compare the early constabulary with the police service represented at the time of publication. Historical photographs and explanatory text bring people and objects into focus, showing how the work of maintaining order changed as the country developed. Written for an approachable introduction rather than a specialist study, the book encourages readers to connect familiar ideas about police work with their historical origins. The Long Yarn of the Law offers a snapshot of New Zealand's policing story and the different forms that service has taken.
