Book Description
Early Australian policing had its roots on the streets of Dublin and London, where many of Australia's first law and order enforcers hailed from. Intrigued by this connection, historian Anastasia Dukova has researched and recreated the lives of colonial police officers and criminals in her adopted home city of Brisbane. Through exploring their personal stories, Dukova highlights how biography and history are inextricably linked and reveals the differences between metropolitan aspirations and colonial reality. To Preserve and Protect exposes political power abuse, corruption, mismanagement, professional burnout, and gendered justice, issues which continue to challenge police forces.

Book Description
While the theme is law enforcement on the Central Highlands of Queensland, Australia, the history is about – • Ludwig Leichhardt’s expedition from the Darling Downs through what became known as the Central Highlands; • the shockingly brutal, undeclared war between the Aboriginal inhabitants and colonists, particularly on the Central Highlands; • raising of a small corps of Native Mounted Police for service in the Northern Frontier (what became Queensland); • the Native Mounted Police in crisis, culminating in the dismissal of the first commandant; • separation from New South Wales, and growth of industries, roads, towns and ports in Central Queensland; • forensic investigation of the tragedies at Hornet Bank and Cullin-la-ringo; • reign of terror conducted by William Fraser on the Central Highlands, and the coastal section between Rockhampton and Bowen; • formation of the Queensland Police Force, including service of 31½ years by the first Commissioner of Police; • bread riots in Brisbane caused by over-immigration and lack of employment; • Range War between the Native Mounted Police and colonists on the Central Highlands; • outlawed bushranging on the Central Highlands; • demise of Aboriginal Society in Central Queensland; • Shearers’ War between unionists and pastoralists on the Central Highlands, resulting in the military being called on to assist with law enforcement; • brutality and suicide associated with the activities of the Native Mounted Police, which was an illegal force, acting as judge, jury and executioner; • federation of the colonies; and • coal mines, town and police station established at Moranbah.

Book Description
Keeping the Peace Volume II, like its predecessor, is bound to become an important resource for social historians, legal academics and indeed anyone interested in the evolution of police administration and law enforcement in Queensland. It contains another wonderful collection of intensely personal stories, providing rare insights into the sacrifices made by successive generations of Queensland police officers — men and women who served the public with dedication, courage and a strong sense of duty. In the year of the sesquicentenary of the Queensland Police Service, which was inaugurated on 1st January, 1864, the book serves as a timely reminder of the contribution that police officers make to the peace of mind and welfare of ordinary citizens. Author Laurie Pointing himself a former Assistant Commissioner of Police, should be commended for bringing together the stories in both volumes of Keeping the Peace. In this second collection, Mr. Pointing has also included a highly informative prologue, bringing together little known facts about famous Queenslanders such as Sister Elizabeth Kenny and her two police officer brothers, the 1889 battle of Lawn Hill Station and the famous Warwick egg-throwing incident which resulted in the formation of the Commonwealth Police, now known as the AFP.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Black Police of Queensland: Reminiscences of Official Work and Personal Adventures in the Early Days of the Colony "Far as the breeze can bear The billows' foam, survey our Empire" I venture to think that the following account of some of my early Colonial experiences may interest the British Public, and also my old friends of those days. The first, because everything connected with our Colonies has excited unusual interest since the opening of the South African War, and Queensland, Great Britain and Ireland's youngest and perhaps most progressive possession, has, together with her sister Colonies, come nobly and grandly to the front at the Call to Arms. The second, because these reminiscences, slightly to paraphrase an old song, will remind "Old bushmates of days that are past," of "Sunny days" - our later Queensland toast.
