OverviewImmediately after the Second World War, the New Zealand Police were in a sorry state: short on resources, anticipated in their systems and with too many elderly and infirm staff. The period covered by this book saw major change and modernisation, as they overhauled their management structure repeatedly and often struggled to position themselves within the modern public sector. Such issues lift this history into the wider discussion of government and management in the second half of the twentieth century. There is also much to interest the general reader here -- the 1951 waterfront lockout, the Crewe murders, the police view of the Springbok Tour in 1981, the growing role of women in the force, the development of forensic sciences and communication systems, the emergence of specialist squads, the role of police in Search and Rescue -- and the book often sheds new light on recent history.
