Abstract
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.
