Synopsis
Beginning in 1853, the Victoria Police Force's long history is interwoven with Victoria's social and political history. This revised edition brings the history up to date. A new chapter examines the administration of Kel Glare and ends with the appointment of Neil Comrie. New material deals with the Russell Street bombing, the Hoddle Street shooting, the abduction and murder of Karmein Chan, Coroner Hal Hallenstein's inquiry into police shootings and the introduction of a more equal ratio of women to men in the Force.
This is a 'warts and all' history of the Victoria Police Force.
