The English Model? Policing in Late Nineteenth Century Tasmania
In the late nineteenth century Tasmania was the only Australian colony to retain a decentralised system of policing based on the English model and here I want to examine why that system was adopted, how it worked in practice and why centralisation was introduced in 1899. The connecting theme of the paper is therefore the tension between centralised and decentralised forms of policing.
